very special movies…………thx
This is an excellent video in my opinion. It makes the idea of installing the flooring myself less intimidating. I was considering installing 3/4″ maple flooring. Having seen a home with real wood flooring I could never do laminate again.
repaint the walls first so you don’t get your new floors dirty
Dont know if anyone responded to you but that was a paslode gas trim nail gun. It uses gas cartridges instead of air. You can also get that same gun in pnuematic form.
what is a regester?
Im getting ready to renovate my new house and im going to put in a hardwood floor and im going to repaint the walls so which would be the best to do first?
Can these floors be installed directly on top of a tile floor?
Excellent video and pointers, thank you.
Very informative video. Would you give some specification on what nail gun you used for the first board? I don’t have a nail gun and would like to buy one, first for the wood floor but later as a general purpose nailer.
What’s the situation with the expansion gap around the framed fireplace area? Is the gap doubled at the other side of the room?
As a general question what happens with the nails when the wood expands/contracts; how come the nails don’t ‘rip’ the wood during movement?
a day or two the most. 2 people can finish it within one day.
how long would it take to do fooring for that room?
very informative. thank you.
Like what was already said (You call that a good installation putting a joint in the center of a register? Seems you me you guys make a video to give everybody the impression that you know what you doing,guess what you guys don’t
i never in my life would tell any one make a joint at a regester
tedd is that u in the video?
i know ,i know. all im sayin’ so many people these days are buy junk floors that can never get a “refinish”. if the slab is “preped” the right way there should be no dips or humps in the floor inturn making the sandmans job a lil less stressful. but floors with an 1/8 inch of “real” wood on the top are for the birds. and if you try to screen and recoat a floor with alumi-oxide on your coat will peel off in sheets. it must be treated with a “prep” chemical frist in order to soften the alumi so
With solid and engineered hardwood floors it is important to note that the number of refinishes that can be done to a floor is highly dependent on the experience and skill of the person doing the work.
A majority of damage done to a floor is at the finish level, and not so deep as to effect the wood itself, meaning that typical refinish work only requires a screen and not a full sand and refinish job. Screening is process which allows for new finish to be applied by only abrading the finish.
This 3/4″ Solid Merbau floor was installed in November of 2004 in the home of iFLOOR’s CEO, Steve Simonson.
The floor has since withstood the abuse 2 children, 2 dogs and many visitors to the residence. Through proper care and maintenance, this floor has remained in pristine condition since its installation.
that floor will buckle in less than six months..if you’re gonna put a video up about installing a fake wood floor do it the right way
Remember, if u cant sand ur floor at least twice it garbage!
At this time we do not have an installation video for solid bamboo; however, most of the same techniques apply you will just be using a staple rather than a nail from the solid hardwood installation.
Do you have any videos on how to staple down bamboo flooring over OSB? I read that you recommend the staples over the nails. Is it the same as other hardwood installation?
hope u got 10 bucs afoot for that cuz that mustve took that clown hours
Nice! Check out our videos!!!
