my subfloor is 2×8 t&g. it has 3/8 particle board over it and carpet. I want to install engineered hardwood with staples. I know I have to remove the particle board. Can I staple the hardwood to the 2×8’s or do I need to cover the 2×8’s with 3/8″ plywood.

If I can staple to the 2×8’s does it matter whether I install in the same direction as the 2×8’s .

In reply to Gena. Hi Gena and Connie, Generally speaking, no. Most solid hardwood flooring needs to be nailed to a subfloor. Tile tends to make this difficult. Also, all subfloors need to be completely flat. So, even if you're thinking of floating an engineered wood floor, the tile underneath has to be completely even. Hope this helps!

Can new hardwood floors be installed over existing hardwood floors, or does the old hardwood have to be removed first? Which type of wood floors would be best for such an installation? What type of underlayment would be best for this job?

Anything I need to do special to install the new wider 3/4 planks they are now making. I always thought after about 3 1/4 wide they would warp and twist unless you screwed and pluged from the face. Can you install wide 5 and 6 inch planks just nailing the tongue? Thanks, I think they even have a 7 inch

Hello. My installer did not allow the wood to acclimate and now we are getting large gaps in our solid oak hardwood flooring. ( 2 1/4 x 3/4 ) Is there a way to fix this without completely removing the floor and starting it over correctly.
Thanks, Randy

Besides, these speakers occupy less than one square foot of space.

Although you might have some great space left over after shelving all your books to
include various other stackable and shelved items such as parlor game, folders, documents, DVDs, CDs, or photo cds; at first,
do not also consider shelving these type of items together with your
routine publications. Suppose you could possibly locate Included Bookcase Plans
and make storage place in an unused corner of the house.
