Wood Flooring America Professionally Installs All Hardwood and Laminates:
Qualities which have made hardwoods a favorite for so long are projecting it into a bright future. Because hardwoods fit so well with the way we live, their popularity continues to grow even as architectural styles change.
Hardwood flooring works with all types of constuction. It can be installed on concrete slabs, on-grade and above-grade, or on conventional wood joist consruction over a basement or crawl space. Block, parquet and laminate floorings, can also be installed on slabs or conventional joist construction.
The trend toward remodeling and renovating has brought about a new appreciation of hardwood floors. Machine sanding removes the old finish, an operation that exposes a new generation of wood and overcomes years of wear and neglect. The newly refinished floor will be a source of pride for many years to come.
Color it contemporary or color it traditional. Hardwoods take beautifully to a variety of finishes. The degree of color is determined by the use of stains in the finishing process. These are followed by a penetrating or surface type protective coating. And here you have another choice in the degree of gloss, ranging from a soft, satiny appearance to a very reflective sheen.
Surface”Urethane” or “Water-based” finishes produce an extremely durable coating which is moisture and wear resistant and are suitable for finishing any floor of the home. Although most hardwood flooring is finished on the job, factory-finished (Laminates) flooring is available that’s ready for use as soon as it’s installed.
Hardwood floors are the easiest of all floor surfaces to keep clean and looking new. Hardwood is truly the floor for a lifetime.

There is little variance between manufacturers but please consult the individual manufacturers information and installation details. Failure to do so may lead to the invalidation of any guarantees. Make Sure the Floor repair in Chicago is Even Obviously there are few floors that are perfectly even. However, you must make sure that the floor you are placing your laminate on has no prominent high or low spots. These should be evened off prior to laying your laminate floor. Many small surface irregularities will be evened off by the underlay foam or fibre pads. Before You Lay the Floor Buy your laminate flooring at least two days prior to laying. Place the packs in the middle of the room in which you intend to lay it, so that the planks can acclimatise to the room conditions. Install the floor at normal room temperature. Allow at least 5% extra on gross room area for cutting and shaping. Our online calculator automatically does this for you. Laying Over Concrete Floors When installing laminate over concrete floors you must always use a polyethylene film as a vapour barrier. Lay the film with at least 20cm overlaps at the seams. The film should not be installed on top of wood floors or other organic flooring. We stock high quality polyethylene films that are suitable for all laminate makes, however if you are installing hardwood floor installation you will neeed to use there own make. If you use another manufacturers film it may invalidate the guarantee. Using Underlay Foam This is a minimum requirement for underlay foam. (not as necessary if you are installing Hardwood). It will make the floor more comfortable to walk on and substantially reduce impact noise. Can be laid in the same direction as the boards or at right angles if you prefer. Edges should be butted together with no overlap. Leave an extra 5 – 10 cm at room edges. This can be trimmed with a sharp craft or ‘Stanley’ knife after floor has been laid. floor installers chicago Tools Required To lay any floating floor you will need only a small array of tools, most of which will be present in any household toolbox.

The floor is warm, hypoallergenic, easy to clean, and healthy for your feet. The wood comes from sustainable forests which helps to preserve the balance of the ecosystem. In the manufacturing process they apply a method known as ‘rational management of raw material’, which means that almost all the wood from the trees felled is used in production. This ensures that in the production of Oak flooring there is much less wastage than in the manufacture of traditional parquets. Scraps of wood and dust, unavoidable by-products of the process – are burned to produce heat energy. This energy is utilised in the production process and to heat the production shops in the winter. The remaining ashes have a high mineral content and are used as a component in fertilisers for the forest soil. |
