If you have a home that has classic décor, there is no doubt about the fact that wooden flooring will suit your house. Wooden flooring is very attractive and adds a sense of earthy warmth as well as class to your home. If you have a reading area in your home or a room that you double as a library, then wooden flooring for this room could look beautiful.
Your wooden flooring could be strips, planks or squares. These have various methods of fixing which are efficient and ensure that the wooden flooring is beautiful as well as durable.
However when fixing wooden flooring, one needs to ensure the safety of wooden flooring. At the same time you need to avoid any kind of stray ugly marks on the floor boards. So here are three methods that are used in order to ensure that wooden flooring looks great and the strength of the flooring is also in place.
Face nailing: this method imparts a very raw look to the wooden flooring. In this method, the nail heads are left in such a way that the heads of the nails are visible.
Screwed and plugged: This method is popular and uses screws instead of nails for installation. The advantage of this method is that it is easy to maintain and clean. But it can take a while to complete this method and if it is not carried out in the right way, the wood can break.
Blind nail: The most popular method of installing wooden flooring, this method makes use of screws with a single fundamental difference: self coloured putty is used to cover the screw or nail heads to give it a good finish.
These three methods are commonly used in hardwood flooring installation. If you decide on any one, ensure that you do so with the décor and your personal preferences kept in mind.
