Questions?

Nail-Down or Staple-Down Hardwood

Nail-down or staple-down installation is often used for certain wood flooring products installed over a wood subfloor. This method is commonly used when the planks are less than 5 inches wide, depending on the product and manufacturer guidelines.

Floating or Click-Together Hardwood

Some hardwood products are designed to float or click together. These floors may require an underlayment, or the underlayment may already be attached to the product.

Glue-Down Hardwood

Glue-down installation is often used for wider hardwood planks or products that do not interlock. Wider planks can be more difficult to install and may require additional preparation.

Wide Plank Hardwood Considerations

Hardwood planks over 5 inches wide can require more detailed installation. Some products exceed 9 inches in width and may cost more to install because of the added difficulty and preparation involved.

For the best finished result, we may recommend installing wide plank hardwood before trim, door casing, or baseboards are installed. Another option is to remove existing trim and reinstall or upgrade it after the flooring installation is complete.
