We would be very happy to give you a free on site inspection followed by a written estimate:

Installing or the installation or laying of hardwood floors is basically divided into four categories:

Floating: the hardwood or laminate or engineered flooring is only fastened to itself either with yellow or UVL glue or click lock mechanism

Nailed down: the hardwood floor is physically nailed down with top nailed strip the flooring is nailed through the face.

With Tongue and grove flooring blind nails a placed through the tongue the minimum standard for 3/4'' thick flooring is a 15 gauge nail or staple either Senco™ or Bostitch™

I don't believe in the use of power nails the reason is simple they don't hold well and that is there entire purpose is to allow floors to move around with expansion and contraction due to changes temperature and humidity levels this type of nail is less expensive because it weighs less than the staples so you get less metal with your floor install

Glued down and double glued down: Bostiks Best™ is still the best glue overall for this application you can glue down a layer of plywood, Dura-son, or cork over a radiant heated floor first and then glue down your hardwood floor over top this will allow for a stable application.

In general hardwood floors for glue down are a maximum of 1/2'' thick although the 7/16'' Accra™ premium product are the best in solid flooring and Owens 1/2'' thick engineered flooring is fantastik for being hassle free hardwood flooring

Sports flooring / sprung floors: are pertaining to the sub floor which is either free floating sleepers (screeds)with rubber composite pads (old standard )or two layers of half inch plywood with a patented rubber composite button or conical cone the later of which meets the DIN requirement. generally maple second grade is much better than Beach flooring.
