Glue Down Wood Flooring

Wood flooring is a warm, appealing and natural flooring choice. Easy to maintain and offered in a whole variety of colour and finish options, it’s easily seen why wood flooring is so popular. No matter whether you’re looking to add charm to a traditional interior or to set a stunning backdrop for modern chic, you’ll be able to find a wood flooring option which suits your requirements.

Available in two main types, solid and engineered, there is a wood flooring option to suit most budgets. Solid wood flooring, as the name suggests, is wood flooring which is created from single pieces of your chosen species and grade of wood and absolutely nothing else. Engineered wood flooring on the other hand, which should never be confused with laminate flooring, is made by building up layers of plywood and finishing it with a solid oak lamella or top layer. It is the construction of engineered wood flooring which makes it such a stable flooring option.

Glue down fitting for wood flooring is an installation method which uses an adhesive or bonding agent to fix the new floor to the subfloor. Glue down fitting can be used on both wooden and concrete subfloors. That said, it is always recommended, if fitting a new floor over a concrete subfloor, that you install a suitable damp proof membrane to reduce the chances of dampness reaching your new floor.
