Below is more information about our popular residential, commercial and sport flooring services: INSTALLATION Installation of 19mm tongue and groove solid strip flooring is designed to be nailed down. Board widths up to 130mm can be secret-nailed into the tongue. Solid 19mm solid strip flooring has the structural strength to be installed directly onto joists, battens or underply over concrete using secret or top nailing methods. Timber is a natural (hygroscopic) material. For this reason, solid timber floors may need to be acclimatised to their new local environment before installation. In the home, various conditions such as heaters, air conditioning or direct sunlight can affect the moisture content of the floor.Planks Timber floor solutions recommends that installation is handled by a professional installer. The beauty of solid 19mm is that it can handle traffic as soon as it is laid, allowing for other trades to finish their jobs before a final sanding and application of the finish. For optimum performance, timber flooring should be installed when the area it is going into has reached its long term equilibrium moisture content. This will help minimise any movement in the boards. The best tools always produce the best results, with quality tools like the Bostich Secret nail gun are at the forefront of any succsessfull timber floor. Plank's Timber floor solutions are commited to producing quality timber flooring for our clients, so why not give us a call today and we'll discuss the best services for your needs.
