For example, because of potential moisture, solid hardwood is not recommended for installations below grade, such as in a basement. Engineered products, which are inherently dimensionally stable, are better choices for this type of area.

Can a wood floor be wet mopped?

Flooring Frequently Asked Questions
No. You should never wet mop your wood floor. Standing water left after wet mopping can dull your finish, damage the wood, and leave unsightly discoloring. If you happen to spill water on your floor, clean it up as quickly as possible. If massive amounts of water leak out onto the floor, such as a dishwasher that has leaked, it might damage the floor to the point where it would need to be replaced. Most homeowners insurance companies would cover the repairs needed if this were to happen.

Can I install a solid wood floor over a concrete slab?

TDI Custom Design Flooring
It is not recommended to install solid wood flooring over a concrete slab. Although this is the general rule, there have been successful installations of solid wood flooring installed over dry, concrete slabs. This entails several additional steps. A plastic barrier is set over the slab and taped at all seams. Then some sort of moisture-resistant wood subfloor (marine plywood) is built on top of the plastic film. Then the flooring is nailed to the wood subfloor.

Can I stain a new hardwood floor to match the old wood floors already in my home?

No one can match finishes exactly, but an experienced professional with a good eye can get very close. For best results, consider refinishing the old floor with the same finish and sheen as the new one. Although wax finishes are easier to match, keep in mind that polyurethane finishes provide more protection than wax in kitchens.

Can I install a solid 3/4" hardwood floor in my basement?

Flooring Frequently Asked Questions
Solid 3/4" Hardwood flooring cannot be installed below grade (below the soil line) or over concrete. When a solid product encounters moisture it reacts very negatively. Therefore, a laminate or engineered flooring must be used. Laminate flooring is constructed by fusing 4-plys of material together to form a product with unprecedented strength and durability. An engineered product is very similar with the exception that they usually have a real wood layer on top of the constructed core.

I want to install a wood burning appliance in my manufactured home. Where do I start?

Frequently Asked Questions - Selkirk Worldwide
Begin with the appliance itself. An appliance must be approved for use in a manufactured / mobile home, before proceeding any further. Wood stoves or wood burning fireplaces approved for use in manufactured / mobile homes are designated as such on the nameplate label. We do not recommend doing so. Most, if not all of the codes and standards throughout North America specify the installation of only approved wood burning stoves and fireplaces in manufactured homes.

Never damp mop a waxed floor. When cleaning a surface-finished floor, follow the manufacturer's recommendations. You may generally use a dampened (near dry) mop to maintain a wood floor, however excessive moisture will cause damage. Standing water can dull the finish, damage the wood, and leave a discoloring residue. If water spills on a wood floor, immediately wipe it up with a clean cloth.

What are the different grades of wood floor?

wood floor supplier - installation - timber flooring - south...
Three grades relate to the floors visual appearance only and not to quality. Select is the highest grade. It is knot-free, giving floors with uniform colour and texture. These floors command the highest prices, but some people find them monotonous. The cheapest grade is Rustic, where there may be small knots and colour variations in the wood. This can make for a lively, interesting floor full of character and in no ways impairs the quality. It depends what effect you want.
