Hardwood Flooring Installation Services

Hardwood floors are an excellent financial investment - with the proper installation and care, they will last for years. Here at New York Wood Floor, we employ different installation methods depending on what kind of flooring you choose (for example, engineered wood strips, solid wood strips or parquet).

But whichever method of installation is used, moisture testing is imperative to ensure the job is done properly. The installation of wood flooring is a painstaking process, which is why you need professionals you can trust. We promise to leave your home looking beautiful, because we take pride in our work. Our crews both reliable and experienced – they have seen every kind of situation and are proficient in the three different types of installation used with hardwood flooring.

Nail Down/Staple wood flooring Installation

With this method, we will nail down or staple solid or engineered wood strips to the sub-flooring (which usually is made either of plywood or plank wood). The floor is laid with random length strips – a few are placed down and arranged prior to fastening, to ensure proper placement and tautness.

Glue Down wood flooring Installation

This kind of installation involves gluing down engineered wood strips or parquet directly to the sub-floor. In such cases, the sub-floor is usually concrete, so extra attention needs to be paid to the question of moisture.

With glue-down installations, it is important to point out that homeowners with allergies or sensitivity to smell may experience some discomfort in the installation. Having said that, New York Wood Floor uses an acrylic-based glue, which is relatively mild.

Glue-down installations can be walked on in no time at all – usually the following day – and furniture can also be moved back in to the room

Floating wood flooring Installation

When it comes to floating installations, the tongue and groove of every plank is glued together, leaving the flooring ‘floating’ over a foam-cushioned padding. If the flooring has a locking system, pieces can be fitted together without glue.

This is a method that is used both with laminate and engineered wood - in both cases the flooring is pre-finished. Floating installations can also be placed over sub-flooring of more questionable quality, which is not possible with nailing-down and gluing-down. As a general rule, laminate flooring gives a hollow feeling underfoot, with this particular method.

Another factor is the ‘wear’ layer - the thicker the layer, the more times it can be re-finished.

Finally, it’s important to remember that ‘floating’ floors expand and contract as a whole, because all of the pieces of wood have been fused together. You will need to allow for such expansion.

Our comprehensive service ensures that no detail is overlooked. We will determine the temperature, evenness of the sub-floor, and presence of moisture and sound barriers, before we even begin work. Whichever installation you choose, we guaranteed that you will be satisfied with the quality of our work and the finished product.
