Important things to know about Wood flooring installation

If you’re installing solid wood flooring yourself, never glue solid wood planks in the tongue and groove connection when they’re installed floating. Instead, you must attach the planks to the sub-floor by means of gluing, nailing or screwing.

If nailing or screwing the planks, be sure to drill the planks out to avoid the tongue from splitting.

Installing Wood Flooring directly on joists or supports

20mm solid wood flooring can be installed directly on joists or supports, but they must have a fixed distance of 60mm.

Loose supports must have a minimum dimension of 36mm x 68mm and fixed supports 36mm x 48mm.

Use 25 / 65 galvanised nails or galvanised screws.

Remember to leave a clearance to all walls and fixed projections of a minimum of 3mm per metre room width.

Installed on a wooden sub-floor

Always lay builder’s paper before nailing or screwing to a wooden sub-floor. See above for the nail and screw dimensions. Install the plank with clearance to all walls and fixed projections with a minimum 3mm per metre room width.
