The process for flooring installation at Live Timber Flooring can vary depending on the type of flooring material selected by our customers and the type of flooring being installed, as well as the methods we use for installations.Here are some general steps that may be involved in our flooring installation:
1. Prepare the subfloor: before any flooring can be installed, the subfloor must be properly prepared. We might begin removing any old flooring, followed by cleaning the subfloor, and making any necessary repairs. You can rely on our extensive experiences for an affordable and quality subfloor preparation.
2. Measure and plan: Accurate measurements should be taken of the room or your house where the flooring is going to be installed. A plan should also be made for how the flooring will be laid out, taking into account any patterns or designs. We can go through this together.
3. Acclimate the flooring: Some types of flooring, such as hardwood, may need to be acclimated to the room’s temperature and humidity levels before installation. Please read carefully the catalogues and manuals of the flooring product we are going to install.
4. Install any underlayment: Underlayment may also be required to provide a smooth and level surface for the flooring to be installed on. This may involve laying down a moisture barrier or a foam underlayment. We will bring these products to the site on the flooring day you have scheduled with us.
5. Install the flooring: The flooring can now be installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. We at Live Timber Flooring follow the guidelines one by one. This may consist of using adhesive, nails, or other fasteners.
6. Finish the edges: Once the main area of the flooring of your house has been installed, any necessary trim or edging can be installed to complete the look.
7. Clean up: After the installation is complete, we clean up the work area and remove all debris that has been spread.
Please note that the process for flooring installation can be complex, and it’s important to follow all manufacturer’s instructions and safety precautions to ensure a successful installation. It may be helpful to consult with our professional flooring installers if you are unsure about any aspects of the process.
