How to Prepare for a New Flooring Installation

When preparing for a new flooring installation, there are a few important things to keep in mind. First and foremost, it's important to choose the right type of flooring for your needs. Consider factors such as durability, ease of maintenance, and overall aesthetic appeal when making your decision. Additionally, make sure to have the space measured by a professional so that you know how much flooring material is needed. Most professionals will order a little bit extra just in case, as having to order more later can delay the installation process.

Before the installation takes place, it's also important to prepare the space properly. This may include removing any old flooring, cleaning the subfloor, and making sure the space is free of any debris or obstacles that could interfere with the installation process. You should also consider any furniture or appliances that will need to be moved or temporarily relocated to allow for the installation to take place. Finally, it's important to communicate clearly with the installation team, providing any necessary information and asking any questions you may have to ensure a successful and satisfactory outcome.

Step-by-Step Process of a Hardwood Floor Installation

  1. Measurement: The flooring sales expert will measure the space to determine how much product is needed and assess for any unique situations.
  2. Hardwood Selection: You will select the hardwood type, style, and color that you want.
  3. Acclimation: The hardwood planks need to acclimate to the temperature and humidity of the space for a few days before installation.
  4. Subfloor Preparation: The subfloor needs to be clean, dry, and level to ensure a proper installation.
  5. Layout: The layout of the hardwood planks should be planned out carefully to ensure a balanced and visually pleasing installation.
  6. Installation: The hardwood planks are installed using either a nail-down, staple-down, or glue-down method, depending on the type of hardwood flooring and subfloor.
  7. Sanding: Once the hardwood planks are installed, they are sanded to create a smooth and even surface.
  8. Staining (optional): If you want a different color or shade for your hardwood flooring, you may choose to have it stained.
  9. Finishing: The hardwood flooring is finished with a sealer or finish coat to protect it from damage and wear.
  10. Transitions, Trim, & Molding: Trim and molding are installed to cover gaps and transitions between the hardwood flooring and walls, doorways, or other surfaces.
  11. Cleanup: The installation team will clean up the work area and remove any debris and waste materials.
  12. Inspection & Approval: The installation is inspected to ensure it meets your satisfaction, and you approve the work before the team leaves the site.
