Hardwood Floor installation tips

Article Category: Real Estate

Author Name: Ginger Jackson

If you feel that you are handy around the house, you might want to consider installing your new flooring yourself when it comes time to replace what you already have in your home. If you have chosen to get hardwood floors, hardwood floor installation is very important. Installing this type of flooring traditionally used to take nails and a hammer. The method today, however, is quite different. There are also pneumatic and stapling options that can help the overall job look more professional.

As you begin thinking about hardwood floor installation, you will want to consider the floor installation tool types. There are two main types of tools: manual and pneumatic. If you have a small amount of flooring to install, manual will work fine. If you have a large area to cover, you might want to consider pneumatic tools. Professional installers always have a preference and they generally use pneumatic because of the speed. When hardwood floor installation first became popular, people simply hammered in nails by hand. It was hard work, but manual tools have gotten better over the years and the manual cleat nailer makes the job easier. If your hands are not very strong, you may want to use pneumatic tools. If the nailing is not done properly, the hardwood planking will have issues later.

Pneumatic tools include nail or staple guns that engage the hardwood floor. They come with different settings so if you choose to use one, make sure you test the settings so you do not make a mistake when you are actually working on the flooring. The hard part about choosing to use pneumatic tools is that you then have to decide which tool to rent or use. Some are better for places with high moisture while others can help prevent squeaks in the flooring later.

No matter what type of tool you end up using, you need to make sure you have the right subfloor in order to have a successful hardwood floor installation. If you do not have the right subfloor, your flooring could make popping and creaking noises and it could even feel soft and spongy. Nails and staples need to be placed correctly or they will loosen and allow the wood to move over time.

Cleat nails are the most used type of nails in hardwood floor installation. They help hold the flooring into the subfloor. Staples are sometimes more strong because they have two prongs to hold the flooring.

You can expect to spend plenty of time on hardwood floor installation. Many factors will come into play, but if you are planning to do flooring in a 400 square foot room, you should take 10-12 hours to do so.
