    Solid wood flooring question

    If the manufacturer themselves suggest you can float their floor I would definitely take it back! No way you can install a solid random length floor (with too many 300mm boards) floating without causing it to become unstable. Every joint will act as a hinge and the too many short length will...

    Advice about which direction to lay laminates

    Doesn't you house come with the standard - typical Dutch - wooden thresholds? The problem is the width of a room crossing into the other room. For instance the hallway into the living. From narrow (door from hallway) it then goes rather wide. This can cause problems, especially if there is a...

    Advice about which direction to lay laminates

    In de woonkamer zou ik van links naar rechts werken - langs de langste muur. In de hal zou ik dezelfde kant als de kamer werken en dan kun je voor de slaapkamers kiezen (mijn voorkeur gaat uit voor alles in dezelfde richting - met drempels tussen alle kamers) In the livingroom I would opt to...

    Warping/lifting of wooden floor

    Try indeed to see if there's still room in the expansion gaps. If not, saw appr 1cm off the edge of the floor and you'll be amazed how quickly it settles back flat. This does not mean the problem is sorted. However, I see on the left hand side of the picture a bookcase? standing on the floor...

    Flooring Issues

    For one thing I would not opt for Solid boards in a hallway - too much risk of higher humidity etc. Go for a decent wood-engineered board. You can level the floor, if you use a leveling compound that can tackle bitumen residue. The install a combi underlayment (containing a DPM) and install...

    Glued or Floating on a Concrete Floor?

    Hardly any of the modern adhesive will adhere to your thermoplastic tiles, so floating would be the way to go. As long as your boards are long and wider than 100mm and you use an underlayment that contains a DPM (to prevent any "sweating of the tiles getting into the wood") you'll be fine. Do...

    Finishing Oak Floor In Hallway

    I would opt for an oak wood-engineered floor smoked and oiled natural. Darker floors in a light area will make the room seem wider Oil can handle wet shoe prints better than lacquer (lacquered floors will show every foot print immediately) plus can be restored locally without having to sand...
