  1. A Review of Hardwood Flooring Installation Hardwood flooring is one of the most popular choices for homes, not only because it has an old-age charm about it but also because it adds to the curb value of your property. Hardwood flooring is durable and timeless and is available in a variety of colors. If you are looking to get hardwood flooring installation Maryland, choose local contractors for the job. There are several reasons for this.

  2. One, they will be aware of the best materials and type of hardwood that is available in your area and can get you the best deal. Next, hardwood has to be left to mature for around four to five days in the room it is to be installed. The recommended temperature of the room should be 65 degrees to 75 degrees Fahrenheit and recommended humidity levels should be 30 to 55 percent. This is not uniform for all places and is typical to a specific wood type matched with the prevailing climate. Hence, hardwood flooring installation Maryland will not be precisely the same elsewhere.

  3. Methods of hardwood flooring installationWhile hiring a contractor for hardwood flooring installation Maryland, you should have some knowledge of the installation methods so that you can discuss the process and the rates quite authoritatively.

  4. Given here are some of the most prevalent methods for hardwood flooring installation Maryland. The one that you select will depend on several factors — the subfloor, the budget, the type of wood, and your lifestyle.

  5. The first is the glue-down method or adhesive installation that is ideal for engineered flooring. The boards are clicked together and secured with glue.The next the click-lock or floating method for engineered wood. It involves clicking and attaching the panels and helps to keep out moisture. It can be done when the subfloor is tile, cement, or one with radiant heat.

  6. Finally, comes the nail-down method of hardwood flooring installation Maryland. It is preferred by homeowners as it is most permanent. After the hardwood is installed, nail marks are not visible. It is compulsory to have a wood subfloor for this method. If you do not have one, you can either remove the existing flooring to reach the wood subfloor or create a new subfloor with plywood. All this can take your budget well beyond the limits and hence, is not always practical.

  7. Tips for hardwood flooring installationAlways install hardwood floor starting from the straightest and longest wall and move perpendicular to the floor joists. When ordering for wood, do not go precisely by the floor area. You have to keep a standard cutting allowance of 5% and a culling allowance of to 10% for installing on a diagonal surface. Finally, ensure that you have a sturdy subfloor — 3/4-inch CDX plywood is preferred and 3/4-inch OSB is acceptable. Minimum 5/8-inch CDX existing wood floor or tongue and groove flooring is also acceptable.
