The Process for New Hardwood Floors (From Installation to Wood Floor Finishing):
A durable installation begins with proper selection of materials. All American Hardwood Flooring will guide you through the selection process and direct you to a floor that will best fit your needs and budget.

Next, strict installation standards are followed:
Job site inspection and moisture readings
Acclimation of wood to your home to minimize seasonal expansion and contraction
Installation using proper layout, nailing schedules, & joint placement

As evidenced by the following pictures, All American Hardwood Flooring believes in Quality and Care with each Step:

A Beautiful Hardwood floor begins with a Proper Subfloor:

A 4” board needs at least 1” of solid subfloor to prevent cupping & board movement.
In the above picture, All American Hardwood Flooring has sanded down subfloor for no bumps.

 

Aquabar underlayment to prevent cupping (Also, many homes in North Carolina have crawl spaces. Crawl spaces combined with the high humidity that is typical in North Carolina can lead to “cupping”. To further prevent cupping, the crawl space should be properly ventilated.)

 15 lb felt, second layer of moisture protection.

All rows on joists are marked and nailed. Two nails in between joists maximizes the gripping power of a 2 inch staple, this minimizes cracks & creeks in the future.

Board Selection is Key!

PROFESSIONAL DUST FREE SANDING  

If you were worried that sanding your hardwood floors would involve choking dust & hours of clean up, worry no more. All American Hardwood Flooring uses the Diamond Jet Dust Free Containment System. As floors are sanded, the dust is captured & evacuated before it’s airborne---leaving very minimal clean up. A smooth flat surface is achieved using proven sanding sequences for each species in conjunction with years of experience and recommendations from the National Wood Flooring Association.

EXPERT WOOD FLOORING FINISHING

 

After sanding, a natural sealer (or a stain color of your choice) and multiple coats of GREENGUARD certified Bona Kemi finishes are applied. All American Hardwood Flooring buffs in between every coat. The extra effort of buffing between coats makes all the difference and is the secret to a smooth beautiful floor.
