Float
Often used in simpler installations that require few transitions to other flooring materials, this is the ultimate Scandi way to install our innovative locking floors. You can float on any level of your home, including basements.
You will need
- Tapping Block
- 5S Locking Pin Tool (depending on the floor)
- Nature All-in-One Underlayment
Staple/Nail
Preferred by most contractors, stapling or nailing is ideal for creating seamless transitions throughout your home. Our locking floors can be stapled horizontally using an 18-gauge gun with 1/4" crown staples every 6-8 inches. Our tongue & groove floors can be nailed using a traditional angled nailer. Easy peasy.
You will need
- 18 gauge staple gun (locking floors)
- 1.25-1.5" x 1/4" crown staples (locking floors)
- Angled nailer (tongue & groove floors)
- Tapping block
- 5S Locking Pin Tool (depending on the floor)
- Nature All-in-One Underlayment is recommended
Glue
Bring your artistic vision to life by gluing down your floors. We recommend low or no-VOC glues with a built-in vapor barrier like Bona R851 and Bostik Greenforce.
