Hardwood floor installation

Find another contractor for a second opinion.

Green,

Who is the manufacturer? That doesnt make sense, is it less than 3" wide?

Appalachian flooring in Canada. The floor is solid hard maple density 1450, thickness 3/4, width 4.5. Is it common to use glue AND nail down install for hardwood floors? NYC apt

who is your flooring contractor as I am looking for a good contractor to glue down some maple floors also. I have read that glue down is fine as long as the subfloor if concrete is in good condition

I asked Carlos from Carlos Wood Floors your question and he said the following:
When the subfloor is plywood and has foam (sound reducing) you must use glue and nails. This makes the floor installation more secure or solid. If you would like to contact Carlos directly you can email him at carloswoodfloors@gmail.com or call him at (646) 780-9197. You can also contact via the web here:

Green,

It is common to glue and nail solid wood flooring.

Thank you all.

For widths up to 3.5", just nailing is fine, anything wider needs glue as well to prevent buckling. Check out Jacobean color from minwax, very hot shade now.
