How To Install Hardwood Flooring

Always heat up your current floor because moisture is a problem with wooden floors because the material grows with heat and moisture. To properly acclimate, you should ensure that your new floor is laid in for at least seven days before installation.

How to Prepare for glue-down installation a Concrete or a Wooden Living Room

For glue-down installation, the adhesive must be applied directly to the surface, and it can be mounted on both concrete and tiled floors through our Carpet Shop in Abu Dhabi.

Top tip: If you have subfloors based on ash and bitumen, or an underfloor heating system, we recommend investing in solid wood flooring.

Test your Concrete’s Moisture Levels & Steps to install

• First, if you are lying over a concrete subfloor, you need to test the concrete’s moisture levels. If the concrete has a reading of more than 4 percent of the moisture content, either wait until the subfloor dries to reach this amount, or use an acceptable moisture barrier. This is to make sure that the new building does not have humidity.
•  All concrete subfloors must be clear, smooth, level, and free from defects in construction. When the concrete subfloor is rough, we consider using a self-leveling solution, which can be included in our flooring accessories collections.
• Free of pigment, resin, residual adhesives, wax grates, and dirt shall be required for concrete. They can be chemically or mechanically removed, but do not use solvent-based strippers because waste solvents can hinder adherence to floor adhesives.
• You need to put a 1/2 “flooring base over it before installing, which allows you a clean, flat floor to add on the surface of the wood.

How to Apply Adhesive to install your Hardwood Flooring

•   You will need a suitable adhesive; we recommend adhesive for the Lumber Jack wood flooring. Here is a practical step-by-step guide for use:        
• Start by placing it on the floor, starting with the longest wall. It works to make the surface smooth.
• Spread with enough stick trowel (do not spread more adhesive than is safe within 60 minutes) uniformly with no less than 0.5kg / m2.
• Tighten the boards/blocks, and then tap the mail and block to the final position, while the adhesive is still tacky (within 60 minutes).
• Remove uncoated adhesive with Ever build wipes before it dries out (Caution-first test compatibility with lacquered blocks)
• Depending on location conditions (longer at low temperatures), the floor may be sanded and walked on after 24 hours.
• A 10 mm expansion gap across the room’s perimeter would need to be left. To keep this distance during deployment spacers – these can be found in our Simple Deployment Kit. You may use scotia or new skirting boards after you have installed the floor to cover this gap in expansion.
