How to Install Hardwood Flooring

Learning how to install hardwood flooring can be a difficult process depending on the type of installation.

Once you determine that the subflloor is clean, flat, dry and sound. Follow the manufacturer's instructions if a vapor barrier is needed for the completion of the installation.

Each installation of hardwood flooring allows for a different expansion gap so follow the manufacturer's instructions. If any glue gets on the surface of the flooring, wipe off immediately with a clean damp cloth.

Care should be taken when installing hardwood floors with glue because the glue can dry rather quickly. However, some hardwood floors may not involve the use of glue to adhere the planks together.
