Installing Floating Hardwood Floors
A floating hardwood floor is made in layers with a plywood or engineered wood core that has a hardwood veneer. Individual planks are glued to each other or have lips to snap them together. The floor is laid on a layer of foam padding and does not require nails, staples, or glue to hold the floor down.
This installation method has grown tremendously in popularity over the last few years. It has become known as one of the most stable and forgiving installation methods available. The reason this installation method is so stable, is because it is not attached to the sub-floor whatsoever.
The free-float installation method is most common with products known as engineered longstrip wood floors. This product type is somewhat of a panel system. Most products in this category come in boards approximately 8" by 96", and may vary in size depending on the manufacturer. Here's what makes this product, and the way it's installed so unique. These products are installed by first laying down an underlayment, usually foam or a plastic and foam combination, and then the wood flooring is laid on top of that underlayment, a bead of water based glue is applied to the tongue and groove per the manufacturers' instructions, the boards are tapped together using a tapping block, and the excess glue is wiped off with a damp cloth. That's it!
Why is this type of installation more stable? Simple. With the other installation methods we've discussed, each plank or strip is installed individually. When the floor expands and contracts, which it most definitely will, the size of the gaps between those planks or strips tends to get larger and then tighter. This can be a major issue in areas where the climate changes dramatically from season to season. With the free-float installation, the boards are glued together, not down, so when the floor expands and contracts, it does so as one big floor as opposed to individual units. Additionally, since these boards are glued together, there are no gaps whatsoever between the boards. Yet another stability advantage is the fact that these boards are not attached to the sub-floor. You will not experience any of the popping or creaking you might with one of the other methods. The foam underlayment also helps absorb some of the minor imperfections in the sub-floor, so the exact evenness of the sub-floor is not as crucial with this type of installation. We would like to point out that while the free-float method does require slightly less effort in the way of sub-floor preparation, each manufacturer has their own guidelines as to the sub-floor requirement that you must follow in order for the warranty to be valid.
D.I.Y. NOTE: The free-float installation method gets high marks as a very do-it-yourself friendly install type. Someone with little or no experience can easily tackle an installation using this method. If you are looking to save on the installation cost and install a wood floor yourself, we would suggest this as a first choice over other install methods.
