There are many options and possibilities when installing hardwood floors. Few most common types are:
- Plate
- Tape
- Soil
- Engineering
- Laminate Flooring
All these responses are well nailed or glued to the top of the existing subfloor. In condominiums and commercial properties where the subfloor is concrete, plywood is applied on top of the slab to allow nailing to the floor. Wood strips are placed perpendicular to the floor joists or wood ties. If a subsoil existing board was installed perpendicular to the stud boards should be established across the grain of the band.
Since hardwoods expand and contract with changes in humidity, a 1 / 2 "space between wood flooring and the wall around the perimeter of the room. This difference is parallel to the floor more critical because the wood expand and contract more than their whole grain or across the width of the bands.
The wood strips first call is 1 / 2 "from the wall with the side facing the wall Grove. She covered her face close to the groove edge so that the fasteners can be hidden by the base and quarter round. All other nails through the tongue at an angle of 45 degrees every 10 to 12 inches. As the floor is laid, the length of the boards are chosen so that the end joints are staggered at least 6 "from each others. The latter band is the face nailed as the first band.
