Installer FAQ's
We try not to pick favorites, and there is no "best" way. It all depends on the project. Learn the pros and cons of each method here.
Yes, for full warranty coverage specifically against the possibility of moisture damaging your floor from below, our approved underlayments are required (with the exception of glue down installations). Our Floating Underlayment is approved for floating installation only while our Nature All-In-One Underlayment is approved for both floating or staple down installations. For glue down installations, using a glue with a built-in moisture barrier is an acceptable alternative to underlayment.
Yes, in addition to being floated, most of our floors can be stapled and/or glued down. The exceptions are the Rebels (Giddy Up, High Five, Cartwheel, Kickflip, Hang Ten, & Half Pipe), Zig Zag, Popup, and All Aboard, which can only be floated or glued. Sisu, Old Town, and Archipelago can only be glued down.
No. Our material comes packaged in plastic at a specific moisture content so you can just open up the cartons and begin installing right away. If you wish to wait a few days or weeks to install after the flooring has arrived, simply leave the flooring in its package.
Yes! You can DIY, hire a local flooring contractor or even have your GC handle installation without jeopardizing your warranty.
