Solid wood flooring is typically fitted using one of two common methods: nail-down or glue-down installation. Nail-down installation involves securing the solid wood planks to the subfloor using nails or cleats, typically with the aid of a pneumatic flooring nailer. This method requires a wooden subfloor and provides excellent stability and durability. Glue-down installation, on the other hand, involves applying adhesive directly to the subfloor and then placing the solid wood planks on top. This method is suitable for various subfloor types, including concrete, and provides a strong bond between the wood and the subfloor. Both installation methods require proper preparation of the subfloor, including cleaning, leveling, and addressing any moisture issues. It's important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines and recommendations for the specific type and brand of solid wood flooring being installed to ensure a successful and long-lasting result.
