Tips for an Easy Engineered Wood Flooring Install Process

Because the plywood layer of this flooring contains a tongue and groove edging, it’s easy to slide the individual planks together to create the overall layout of the floor.

Each carton contains multiple widths and lengths of planks, which enhances the randomness of the layout. This creates a vintage look for the flooring, as actual hardwood floors never have an easily recognizable layout pattern.

When installing these planks, installers will want to use planks of the same width throughout the entire row. The next adjacent row can consist of a different width of planks, but for the installation to work, an entire row will need planks of a single width.

These planks have a variety of lengths in the carton, which simplifies the process of creating randomness in the layout. Installers do not want to have the ends of planks in adjacent rows lined up with each other.

When needing to fit a plank up against a wall or another stationary object, installers can use a power saw or a hand saw to cut the plank to fit.

Installers can use one of three types of installation options with this style of floor.

• Floating: With the floating floor, the installer will not need to attach the planks to the subfloor. The planks will fit together tightly, and they will float over the top of the subfloor, such as a concrete floor.
  
• Glue: For a glue down installation, the installer will attach the planks to the subfloor with glue. Use a urethane-based glue to have the best results.
  
• Nail: The manufacturer allows a nail down installation, if desired. Add 1/4-inch crown 18 gauge staples or brad nails 1-1/2 inches long to secure the planks to the subfloor securely.

Maintenance and Care

Cleaning our engineered wood flooring takes very little time. Homeowners should be able to sweep or dust mop the flooring as needed a few times per week.

To clean the floor with a vacuum, be certain to use a vacuum cleaner with a felt or brush attachment, rather than with a beater bar head. The beater bar could cause damage to the hickory veneer layer on the planks.

Should a water spill or pet accident end up on the veneer layer of the hardwood, clean the mess as quickly as possible. Leaving moisture on the floor for an extended period of time could cause staining.

For removing greases or stubborn stains from the natural floor, the manufacturer recommends using an approved wood floor cleaner. Avoid using harsh cleansers or ammonia-based cleaners on this style of flooring.
Maintenance

Sweep or dust mop your floor once a week or more with an approved floor cleaner. Spills, pet accidents, or tracked in dirt should be cleaned immediately. Never clean or wet mop with water, water may damage floor. Use a wood floor cleaner, do not use harsh abrasive cleaners.
