How do I lay wood flooring?

The most common fitting method for engineered floors is the floating method. This is done by rolling out an underlay laid over the subfloor, with the engineered flooring fixed together using the locking joint built into the boards, or the more traditionally but becoming less common, gluing the tongue and groove.

Engineered boards can also be glued down directly to the subfloor. Also the thicker engineered boards (+18mm thick) we supply can be nailed down directly to timber framed subfloors as they are structural boards.

Underlay is used to support the floor for when it expands and contracts and to help prevent any noise that occurs when there is a space between the subfloor and your new floor. The underlays available vary depending on the thickness and quality required. If budget allows I would always recommend the better underlays on the market as they offer more support and better recovery which in turn gives your new floor the right support which will last for generations.
