The Satisfaction Of Doing Your Own Hardwood Flooring Installation

Hardwood flooring installation can be a difficult and time consuming task, but if you feel comfortable giving it a try, you can end up saving quite a considerable amount of money. Properly installed home flooring systems can last for several years, even under moist and humid conditions, such as in a bathroom. With a little planning and a step by step plan, as well as plenty of time, hardwood flooring installation can be done without expensive professional services.

Moisture is the number one enemy of hardwood flooring. Moisture can eventually lead to the warping and cracking of the surface as it expands and contracts. This does not mean, however, that hardwood flooring cannot be installed in humid circumstances. Hardwood flooring simply requires a little maintenance in order to work well under these conditions. Installing hardwood with an asphalt felt should provide a guarantee against rotting and warping of the hardwood. Take 15 pound asphalt felt, and put it over the subfloor in overlapping sections. The felt should be tacked down with a staple gun.

Leave a small gap, around half an inch, between the asphalt felt and the wall. A baseboard or base shoe will be secured in these smaller spaces between the flooring and the wall. The first three boards of the flooring should be placed by hand. Board lengths are typically random, so portions of the flooring should be placed as a test before nailing down. When the first boards are put out, the rest can be put out with a flooring nailer. This will make it easier to do a good job of laying out the flooring.

When the new flooring creates an uneven surface, you can use a reducer to create a level surface. When preparing to put down a hardwood floor, be sure to safely store the wood. Storing the wood outside where it can get wet will lead to uneven flooring that does not fit together. If the flooring must be stored outdoors, be sure to protect it with a waterproof tarp. This will reduce any possible damage from moisture, which can warp and bend expensive wood flooring very quickly. Do not transport wood flooring in an open bed when weather conditions could give rise to rain or high humidity.
