Wood Flooring Installation

Assuming it is solid, as it says in the description, how can you recommend gluing a solid plank to a concrete slab?

Very good.

if you are installing solid wood flooring onto a concrete base using any MS Polymer flexible adhesive always use a liquid DPM to protect your solid wood flooring from any rising damp if not used it could cause some big problems in time.

We installed to wood floor on concrete in the Gap at the local mall and we made a straightline of woodfloor as a guide for the next row. This guy does it wrong in all ways, but wood floor looks good in all ways.

firstly if your going to use this method,i.e. polymer based adhesive dont do AS THIS GUY DOES.WOOD IS ISOMETRIC SO WILL EXPAND IN ANY DIRECTION ALWAYS LEAVE 15mm EXPANSION GAP ALL THE WAY AROUND THE PERIMETER DONT LAY IT UP TO THE WALL,SUBFLOOR MUST BE ABOVE GROUND LEVEL I.E. NOT A BASEMENT ,ALLOWTHE FLOORING TO SIT IN THE ROOM FOR AT LEAST A WEEK BEFORE INSTALL,NOW SET OUT YOUR FLOOR NO ROOM IS TOTALLY SQUARE I USE 2 NAILS AND A STRING LINE DONT PUT DOWN MORE GLUE THAN YOU CAN SET IN 20 MINUTES

So what do you suggest?

13 years of installing and refinishing hardwood floors and have never seen or even heard of anything this stupid hahahaha this guy is a complete idiot

awesome! thanks for the tutorial!!

Please dont read this. U will get kissed on the nearest Friday by the love of your life. 2morrow will be the best day of your life.

Send this over to 5 videos in 143 minutes when ur done press f6 and ur crushes name will appear on the screen in big letters. This is so scary because it actually works!!!!

Check out our videos!

looks nice.

Depends upon subfloor surface, level, board type etc.

cool video, thanks! It almost looks too easy to be true... do you think a complete amateur (me ;) ) can do it, or would you recommend a help of the professional?

yes thats true. what ever looks nice.

Are you laying the boards in a pattern? Can you lay them however just don't have the ends meet from row to row.

why one row at a time I would have trowd out as wide as I could reach and stepped that S**t up

Ned, great video. I was asked to do a wooden flooring for someone about 2 weeks ago. Id never done what before but did it as a favour. I watched your video and winged it. Turned out i did a nice job of it. Took me longer than it'll take you obviously but Customer was over the moon! Great video fella!

fella maybe if there was a fire place in the room he would gladly show you. but as far ad a video goes on laying wooden flooring hes done well.

How many square meters would 25kg of adhesive do you?

Hi, Yep we dry cut the boards prior to the installation, some fitters like to do this as it is cleaner should give you less waste when installing the flooring. Some like to cut as they go, but for making the video it seemed neater to dry cut! Just a final point, you would only dry cut 3 or 4 rows at a time.

nedthehorse,

Thanks for this nice video. It does not show every detail, but then it would be much longer if it did. There are many videos here that are just 1 or 2 minutes long which basically shows nothing. Did you dry lay and cut the planks before? It looked like you only had to tap a few planks. That is kind of unusual.

not bad video .
But it doesn`t show ,how to do around fireplaces or corners or angols ,things like
that .
besides that ,from 1 to 5 video I give it a 3.

very good video

that glue looks too soft looks like takles days to dry . will dry like in 2 days lol

What type of warranty can you provide using this system? Is this for the DIY market?
All of my wood products with the exception of engineered and Floating applications the manufacturers all say that they
1.)HardWood must be stapled down or nailed to an approved plywood, or OSB sub floor.
2.)Hardwood Installation is approved for only On or above grade (meaning ground level or above)

Is this solid wood or engineered, if its solid, is it not risky to install random length?
