Solid Floor Construction

Solid floors are also known as 'real hardwood flooring' because they are made from one piece of 100% hardwood timber. Because of it, solid floors are highly durable and you will be able to sand, refinish or re-coat the floor several times  thereby greatly extending the useful life of the floor. Due to their nature, solid hardwood floors are recommended for  those who wish to change the colour of the floor from time to time, those who wish to rejuvenate the floor due to heavy  foot traffic and for those who wish to give their property more stability as the solid wood is extremely strong.

Floor Finish

Similar to oiled finish, the floor is coated in a protective coating, but has an extra rural look to it as the brushed affect creates a naturally textured surface that gently highlights the natural grain structure. Oiled and brushed finish is very popular for those who wish to keep a natural look, but also protect the wood.

The installation method will be determined by the type of flooring you are buying and also by the type of sub floor you have.

There are three common categories for subflooring:

- Concrete or cement/ screed
- Wooden-Plywood, Chipboards
- Floor Joist or battens

Please note that vinyl floors, glued-down carpets, and other existing flooring types are not suitable as subflooring (especially for wood floors) and must be removed. Before installing any type of flooring, it is important that you get down to the solid, flat and dry subfloor.

Wood and Beyond has summarised below the following information about subfloors and the flooring types and installation methods you can use:

 

Subfloor	Flooring Type	Installation Method
Concrete	Solid	Nailed onto Battens, Glue-Down
	Engineered	Floating, Glue-Down
Plywood, T&G	Solid	Nail-down, Glue-Down
	Engineered	Floating, Glue-Down
Particle Board	Solid	Glue-Down
	Engineered	Floating. Glue-Down

 

Preparation Steps:

• Make sure the room is completely free of any obstacles such as your old carpet or wooden floors so you can concentrate on installing rather than moving furniture around.
• Ensure the surface is clean from any debris and other reminisces of the previous floor.

 

Glue Down Installation

While this guide is likely to give you all the information you'll need for Glue-down installation, always read the information which came with the floor or contact the seller if unsure. Glue-down installation requires the use of a bonding agent or adhesives applied directly onto the subfloor and can be laid onto both concrete and wooden subfloors. PLEASE NOTE: always read the health and safety recommendations when working with agents. If you are laying over a concrete subfloor you will first need to put down a two part epoxy damp proof membrane to ensure no damp rises up into your new floor. Glue-down installation can be very stable when done properly, although it does take some time before you can actually walk on your floors. The adhesives will need to bond to the floor, and can be quite messy especially when done by a less skilled installer.

Nail-down Installation

Nail-down installation is the most straightforward of all solid wood floor installation methods, and is only advised if you have a wood subfloor and plenty of time to focus on the work. When installing over plywood the direction you choose to lay the planks does not matter; however, if you are going to nail down a new floor over an existing floorboards you must face the planks of the new floor in the opposite direction of the floorboards, essentially making a criss-cross pattern. Solid wood floors are thicker; hence, they need to be nailed down in order to stay in place so consider hiring a nailer for large surfaces otherwise it might take couple of days. Typically when nailing down an 18mm-22mm solid floor you will want to use 2” long nails. Generally, people regard nail-down installation as being very exacting and time-consuming. It requires you to use specific tools and equipment, which can be hard for a DIY job. There is also a certain skill and level of knowledge needed for this type of installation. One suggestion with all nail down installations is to use 2mm poly foam underlay this helps to make sliding boards into place easier and it also reduces the potential squeaking noise your floor produces when walked on.

Maintenance of your hardwood floor is very easy, the key is upkeep, namely cleaning your floor often and thoroughly - but not too thoroughly. 

Please note that you SHOULD NOT use any chemicals and abrasives as they can scuff, scratch or even remove your floor's finish and gloss.

 

Regular cleaning

 

A good procedure to clean your floors in an efficient and proper manner is to initially sweep the area with a soft bristle broom or Hoover it. It is important to examine the broom's bristles before starting, as some brooms are not appropriate for some surface areas and can also scratch or mar the finish. It is best to try the broom on a small area of the floor first to insure that it's not damaging the floor in any way. This should be sufficient in most cases and If this procedure is maintained on a regular basis, you will certainly prolong the beauty of your floors for a very long time.

In cases where you have rough stains, you can clean your floor with a dump cloth/ mop, please make sure it will not be socked as wood and water do not mix well tougher. Evenly mop the entire surface area until clean, and then let the area air dry. Beyond this, there are other steps that can be taken less frequently that can add life and beauty to your floors, such as floor treatments.

 

Regular Floor Treatment

 

For oiled finishes, Re-oiling you floor every few months can help protect and preserve the flooring beautiful look. Be sure to verify the contents and application procedures for your specific product. Doing this every few month or so is perfectly safe for your floor's finish and will add that desired effect of longevity and beauty to your home.
