Wood Installation Option
Floating or Locking
Moisture barrier underlayment is rolled out for moisture protections. Then the planks are locked together over the subfloor. This advantage of floating or locking installation is it allows the floor to expand and contract with humidity.
Glue
Glue is troweled on the floor and planks are set into the glue. A moisture barrier adhesive system is used to help mitigate moisture- related issues.
Nail
A nail is driven at an angle into the tongue of the hardward floor into the wood subfloor. The groove of the next row of boards hide the nail.
Staple
This is similar to the nailing process, but with staples.
Wood Hardness
Softer woods are more susceptible to scuffs, scratches and dents. While harder woods are more durable and long lasting. There are still beautiful 200 year old Oak floors testing the test of time.

Caution: Wood is NOT recommended for full bathrooms due to fluctuating moisture conditions.
It is also recommended to consider your environmental humidity when considering wood floors as they swell, restrict and contract, bulge and warp with high humidity.
Satisfaction Guarantee
Labor and workmanship is warranted for one year from your installation date.
