Buying an FSC product ensures the wood flooring comes from a well managed forest. This will have a positive impact on the environment and protects our forests for the future All wood flooring will expand and contract during the changes of the seasons due to increased or decreased humidity levels. A space (expansion gap) is needed around the perimeter of each room and all vertical obstructions to allow this natural movement especially for a floating floor. The amount of space to leave is slightly different between products and should be in the manufactures instructions. Engineered wood is a three ply or multi-ply wood flooring that can be installed over a concrete or wood subfloor. The top layer is the species that you see when installed. It also can be installed below grade (in basements) unlike solid wood. It is more stable than solid wood flooring due to its multi layer cross grain construction. Cross grain construction means the grain direction runs perpendicular to the adjacent layer which gives the wood stability strength which helps minimizes the natural expansion and contraction of the wood. The finish is the same as solid wood and will wear the same. Engineered wood flooring can be refinished. Consult a hardwood flooring professional to find out your options. No. Regular glue does not provide the elasticity to cope with the constantly changing pressures imposed by foot steps. Brittleness of regular glue may cause the glue to fracture and the bonds will let go causing the planks to separate from each other. You need to use D3 PVAC (polyvinyl acetate) glue which is formulated for floating floors. We recommend our Deccobond 18 Tongue and Groove glue. For wood sub floors, you may use any foam or cork of your choice. However, we do not recommend the use of vapour barrier like our 6mil poly. Wood sub floor cannot breathe under a vapour barrier and therefore may create or escalate moisture problems. For a staple down application, a black asphalt Kraft paper or 15lb felt should be used. This is to minimize moisture movement between the sub floor and the wood flooring and, also, to help slide planks in place easily during installation and reduce the potential squeaking of the flooring. A solid and flat sub floor provides the foundation for your wood flooring to perform properly. A flat surface reduces vertical movement of your flooring which minimizes the chance of you having a squeaky or crackly floor. A floating system is the least expensive installation with the use of our Firma Foam which is good quality foam. You may have a different sub floor than your neighbors so the installation can be different. If you still want a floating floor, you can choose a cork underlayment because it is more firm and also will lessen the hollow sound. You also can choose a more solid installation like a glue down or nail/staple down application, depending on what kind of sub floor you have. When wood flooring is making objectionable noises when walked upon, it means that the flooring has excess movement. It can be caused by many reasons. It could be problems with expansion, uneven sub floor, improper installation methods, etc. If it is significant problem, you should get your flooring inspected by a certified wood flooring inspector and they can pinpoint the cause then a remedy can be determined. We are proud to work with WestFloors Service installed hardwood flooring in a pantry and a bedroom in my family’s home. The installers arrived promptly, were professional and friendly, and got right to work installing the flooring. They worked hard the entire time they were in our home and completed the job in just a few hours. They also kept their workspace extremely clean, which is important to us. The flooring looks amazing and our experience with this business left us completely satisfied. We would use WestFloors Service again in a heartbeat and recommend them highly. I could not recommend Kamy and WestFloors Service more highly. This is a fast, clean, efficient, and classy organization. Our carpet and laminate flooring look great, and our custom counters and back splash make our home look like we spent three times what we did! Escrow closed late and Kamy and crew were able to reschedule for us multiple times stress-free to accommodate us. The crew was respectful of our space while we lived in the home with our small child during the remodel. They finished ahead of schedule. What else can I say? You would be crazy to use anyone else and I will recommend this company whenever possible! I checked multiple places before doing wood flooring on my house and this place was the best. Prices are very competitive and installation quality was also very good, I would definitely recommend this place to friends. Ask for Kamy, he was super friendly, professional and very knowledgeable.
