Before You Begin

Before you begin installing your Bruce Hardwood Flooring, it is important to make sure that the subfloor is level and smooth. If the subfloor is not level, you will need to level it using a self-leveling compound. If the subfloor is not smooth, you will need to sand it until it is smooth.

Once the subfloor is level and smooth, you can begin installing the underlayment. The underlayment will help to protect the hardwood flooring from moisture and will also help to reduce noise. Once the underlayment is installed, you can begin installing the Bruce Hardwood Flooring.

Installing the Hardwood Flooring

To install the hardwood flooring, you will need to start at one end of the room and work your way towards the other end. Start by measuring and cutting the first plank to fit the space. Then, nail the plank into place using the nail gun. Continue nailing the planks into place, making sure to leave a small gap between each plank for expansion.

Once you have installed all of the planks in the first row, you can begin installing the second row. Start by staggering the second row so that the joints do not line up with the joints in the first row. This will help to strengthen the floor and prevent it from buckling.

Continue installing the hardwood flooring in this manner until you have covered the entire floor. Once the flooring is installed, you can trim the excess flooring around the edges of the room using a saw.

Finishing the Floor

Once the hardwood flooring is installed, you will need to finish it by applying a sealant. The sealant will help to protect the floor from moisture and wear. You can choose from a variety of sealants, so be sure to choose one that is appropriate for the type of hardwood flooring you have installed.

Once the sealant has been applied, your Bruce Hardwood Flooring will be complete. You can now enjoy the beauty and durability of hardwood floors for years to come.
