Layout and Installation
the actual process of laying a hardwood floor usually goes very quickly. And despite the inevitable minor problems, the work is quite gratifying.
Actual installation happens in two stages design and layout, followed by racking, cutting and nailing, of the two, the design and layout stage is surely the more perplexing, especially for beginner. Some people have a natural knack for good design.

To figure out how you want the floor to look carefully measure the floor plan and draw it to scale on a piece of graph paper. Sketch in all of the details. You may want to dertermine the lack of squareness.




Sanding and Refinishing
Sanding is a dusty job. It is a good idea to separate the room, that you are working in from the rest of the house. Hang a plastic or old bed sheets at doorways and cover all exposed furniture to protect them from dust. If you are inexperienced with refinishing hardwood floors, consider hiring a professional to do the sanding for you.
To protect your floor and give it a pleasant wood glow apply quality polyurethane.
Remember proper ventilation should always be maintained while applying wood stains and finishes. it is also a good idea to wear a respirator when using oil-based products. Plan the staining process so you end at an exit.
