Have a look at the following tips that can help you in installing the wooden floor:-

1.    Choose the kind of hardwood flooring you want to fit in your home. Such as there are different shades available in the market. Ordinarily, it comes into its standard brown color which gives a classy and appealing touch to your home. Although you can choose a shade matching the color theme of your home.

2.    Prepare an estimate of all the tools you need. For example –hammer saw, measuring tape, etc.

3.    Take the measurements of wooden planks for their installation in the room.

4.    Check the sub-floor if there are any squeaks in that. If there is any squeak, then screw a long drywall screw and joist where it occurs. Then remove the molding and clean thoroughly.



5.     Install the floor – plan the layout as mentioned.

Lay the wooden boards from left to the right with tongue edges facing outwards. Leave half an inch gap between the planks for contraction and expansion of the woods in different seasons.

6.    Use the drill to make a hole and nail your wooden plank to the subfloor with the help of screw and hammer.

7.     Lock your boards- when your first row is done place the next board in such a way that tongue of the first board fits into the groove of a second. You can use a tapping block to tap the two boards together.

8.    Continue until you complete and use the hammer for the last few rows to fit the boards into the space left.

9.    Add finishing touches like filling the holes with putty, polishing the floor, etc.
