In reply to lameck. Hi Lameck, Wood floors can be nailed, stapled, glued or floated. These installation methods will vary depending on which product you choose. For example, this hardwood is nailed down while this one is glued down. There are different laying patterns suited for individual preferences - straight, random, diagonal, parquet and herringbone. Movement and creaking is prevented by proper installation with the right underlay and consistent climate control. Check out our sound dampening underlays! As always, installation instructions are available on each product’s page on our website and can be emailed to you upon request. Thanks for your question!

I wish you explain how to transform the cut tree into wood for water proof and regular. I have several pine and oak trees and would like to use some for artistic work some to be water proof and some not.
What is the process to dry the wood cut from the tree?
Anticipated Thanks.

In reply to Linda Stewart.

Hi Linda,

This kind of information is usually included in product specs. Sometimes, wood is sourced from one region, and cut in another. So, sometimes there are multiple answers to this question of origin. Depending on how you’re getting it from, this will be published on web pages, included in packaging, or both. When in doubt, always ask your vendor directly.

Hope this helps!

I noticed some of the solid hardwood planks in the box has a mark of bonding like two planks bonded together to increase the length. Is this normal from the hardwood maker? I bought a solid canadian maple hardwoord pre-finished and i see these out from the box.

Flooring designers can also work on all of your rooms or just one, depending on your preferences and how many rooms you want to remodel in your home. You can select between a number of different finishes to create the hardwood design that flows best with your existing décor, and if you are unsure of the color that would look best in your home, a designer will give you insight and use their unique vision to determine what type of wood will work best in your space.
