Step 1: Preparation for the wood flooring

• measure and draft the floor layout.
• Adapt the wood to appropriate measurements for the room you plan on fitting the wood flooring in.
• Prepare the flooring area.

Step 2: Laying the wood flooring

• First boards and rows ( this has to be done correctly and carefully to minimise and damage and mistakes later on).
• Use the ‘general laying procedure’, follow the established layout, using spacers and when happy slowly apply to the adhesive.
• Special manoeuvres; for areas such as around the fireplace.
• Final rows ( how to finish off)

Step 3: Finishing touches

• Fitting the trims ( recommended to wait 24 hours before attempting to fit skirting boards or any other trim, as the floor needs to settle first).
• Filler ( Added to areas where there are slight gaps and cracks in the wood flooring).
• Cleaning, wood flooring is low maintenance and dirt and muck can be easily cleaned up, the best way to clean is through regular sweeping and using a vacuum, as well as mopping with a damp (not wet) terry cloth mop.
