INSTALLING ENGINEERED HARDWOOD FLOORS

Engineered wood flooring may be installed as a floating floor, which means that the boards are joined together and loose laid over the subfloor, instead of being fully bonded with adhesive or secret nailed.

The engineered planks are installed by being arranged in a staggered format over the appropriate underlay dependant on the type sub-floor, Northamptonshire Floors will ensure the correct type is used without you even needing to ask.

This is achieved firstly by laying a purpose-made underlay at 90° to the planned direction of the flooring, then laying the flooring and bonding the interlocking boards at the tongue and groove joints with an appropriate PVC adhesive

Engineered wood flooring may also be installed directly to concrete or sand-cement screed or to suitable wood-based sub-floors by fully bonding with a purpose-made permanently flexible adhesive.
