When it comes to your flooring needs, you can rely on us. We handle all aspects of wood floor installation, including sourcing materials from reputable manufacturers, preparing the subfloor, and fitting the floor itself. Prior to installing your new floor, the subfloor requires thorough preparation. This is essential in order to achieve a strong and long-lasting final result that can withstand wear and tear. One common issue with subfloors is excessive moisture, which can be particularly damaging to real wood floors as they expand and contract in response to changes in moisture and temperature. To ensure a stable and perfect floor, we ensure that the subfloor is completely dry and in good condition before proceeding with the floor installation.
At times, it may not be possible to completely level a subfloor due to various reasons. Therefore, it is necessary for professionals to level the subfloor. This can be achieved by installing an underlay that not only evens out the subfloor but also acts as a barrier against moisture and provides sound insulation. When it comes to installing real wood flooring, it is crucial to acclimate the materials to the specific environment on-site before proceeding with the installation. This is an important step in the preparation process because wood tends to expand or contract in response to the moisture content, humidity, and temperature of the room. To avoid any damage or complications, it is necessary to allow the wooden floorboards to adjust to their new surroundings.
In conclusion, it is vital to adequately prepare before installing the floor in order to maintain its condition, appearance, and longevity. This involves various steps, such as allowing the flooring materials to adapt to the environment, controlling dust and cleaning the underlying surface, leveling the underlying surface, checking and managing moisture levels, and making any necessary repairs. Additionally, we take great care and attention to ensure that each step of the preparation process is executed accurately. A sturdy and well-maintained underlying surface is essential for a durable and well-preserved floor.
Presently, numerous individuals assume that a floor installation procedure is limited to just placing the floor covering. However, a floor fitting procedure encompasses much more. In addition to preparing the underlying surface and allowing the flooring materials to adapt to their surroundings, to achieve a thorough and polished appearance of the floor, certain additional significant factors come into play – the flooring accessories. We offer a diverse selection of flooring accessories designed to conceal expansion gaps and establish a seamless shift between two dissimilar flooring types or different flooring levels, while also serving as decorative features that prioritize functionality, safety, and comfort.

Various categories of flooring necessitate distinct techniques for installation to secure them to the underlying floor. Nevertheless, regardless of whether it pertains to hardwood, engineered wood, laminate, or vinyl flooring, the most commonly employed installation techniques for these types of floors comprise nailing down, gluing down, and floating fitting methods. Let us delve into this topic to facilitate your comprehension. Keep in mind that the preferred floor installation method is contingent upon both the flooring type and the intricacies of the project.
The nail-down floor installation method is primarily utilized for solid wood flooring and sometimes for engineered wood flooring as well as stairs. It is the oldest and most traditional approach to installing wood floors, involving securing the wooden floorboards with nails or screws. To utilise this installation method, it is essential to have a wooden subfloor or pre-installed plywood underlayment. Furthermore, this installation method is best suited for hardwood planks that are 18 mm thick or thicker.
Installing a floor through nail-down installation leads to a highly durable and strong result. However, this method requires ample time and should only be carried out by a skilled professional. It is not advisable to attempt this installation as a do-it-yourself project due to the considerable risk of making irreversible mistakes. If you are worried about visible nails affecting the floor's appearance, rest assured. The nails are positioned beneath the surface of the floorboards at a 45-degree angle, securing them to the previous row of boards.
The process of installing a glue-down floor involves adhering the floorboards to the subfloor using hardwood adhesive.
It is crucial to enlist the services of experts to handle the glue-down floor installation as they can guarantee impeccable performance and outcomes, a prompt work timeline, precise and proper execution, and the selection of top-notch wood floor adhesives that will maintain durability and resist deterioration over time.
This will give you the peace of mind that your floor will remain durable, solid and sturdy for decades. Glue-down fitting methods are used not only for solid wood, engineered wood and parquet flooring but also for laminate and vinyl flooring.
Basically, the floating installation technique refers to the fact that the floorboards are not securely attached to the underlying floor and require no nails or adhesive during the procedure. Instead, the floorboards are connected to each other through an integrated system. The floating installation method is often the most suitable and only option when you desire to install the floor over an uneven or unlevelled subfloor, on top of underfloor heating, or with a layer of underlay. It is particularly popular for engineered wood, laminate, and vinyl flooring.
The floating installation method can be done in two ways – through a click-in system or a tongue-and-groove system. The click-in system involves connecting each floorboard to the adjacent one using a built-in locking mechanism, eliminating the need for floor adhesive. To ensure optimal results, it is advisable to use a layer of soundproofing and moisture barrier underlayment since the floorboards are not fixed to the subfloor. On the other hand, the tongue-and-groove system requires securing each floorboard to its neighbouring one using grooves and tongues. This method may also require the use of adhesive and is suitable for floorboards that are 18 mm thick or more.
