Prefinished Solid
When installing 5″ wide solid-wood, prefinished floor do I need to nail AND glue or can I just nail it down?
We’re going to be installing a lot of wood flooring in our new house, and I’m thinking about doing it my self. I’ve done it in the past with no issues. The difference this time is that we’re going with pre-finished, solid wood that is 5″ wide. I’ve heard that you should use glue AND nails for planks that are 5″ wide. If I should be using glue in addition to nails, where does the glue go? In between tongue/groove? Down under the plank between plank and sub-floor? If the latter, then how does that impact the need for Rosin paper? Thank you for your help.
Sound advice from Glenn and poobah, Just a thought and a note ..Any wide plank such as your 5 inch plank is subject to warping in high humidity areas. Keeping your humidity constant as to your manufactures recommendation is important.I heard of guys( homeowners) “nail” their wood down real well and complain of noisy floors. Come to find out they nailed w/ a finish nail gun, this will not work and can void any warranty. There are 2 ways to nail a floor down , one is to use the cleeted nail that you can get at the rental place when you rent a gun and the 2nd is to actually use a staple that is used in the same looking flooring gun.. Check w/ the maker of your wood to see if the staple type is allowed in your particular wood.. Most allow it now but check w/ your manufacture GL
