Engineered Wood Flooring Installation in Edinburgh, Glasgow, London

Hoff Parquet offers engineered wood flooring installation services in Edinburgh, Glasgow, London. Here's an overview of the installation process:

1. Site inspection: Before installing your engineered wood flooring, the installer will inspect the site to assess any potential issues or challenges, such as moisture levels, subfloor condition, and existing flooring removal.
2. Subfloor preparation: The installer will then prepare the subfloor to ensure that it is clean, level, and free of any debris or contaminants that could affect the adhesion of the flooring.
3. Underlayment installation: Depending on the manufacturer's recommendations, an underlayment may be installed on the subfloor to provide a moisture barrier and additional cushioning.
4. Flooring installation: The engineered wood flooring is then installed using either a floating, glue-down, or nail-down method, depending on the manufacturer's recommendations and the installer's expertise.
5. Finishing: After the flooring is installed, the installer will trim any excess material and install trim and molding to create a finished look. The installer may also sand and finish the flooring to achieve the desired color and sheen.
6. Clean-up: Finally, the installer will clean up the site, removing any debris or waste from the installation process.

It is important to hire a professional installer with experience in installing engineered wood flooring to ensure that the installation is done correctly and to prevent any damage to the flooring or subfloor. Hoff Parquet's installation team has many  years of experience in the engineered wood flooring supply and installation. 

​There are several installation methods for engineered wood flooring, including:

1. Glue-down method: In this method, adhesive is applied directly to the subfloor, and the engineered wood planks are laid directly onto the glue. This method provides a strong, permanent bond between the flooring and subfloor.
2. Nail-down method: In this method, the engineered wood planks are nailed directly to the subfloor using a pneumatic flooring nailer. This method is typically used for thinner engineered wood flooring, and is not recommended for thicker planks.
3. Floating method: In this method, the engineered wood planks are not attached to the subfloor, but instead are attached to each other using a tongue-and-groove system. The flooring is then laid over a foam underlayment, which helps to absorb sound and provide a cushioning effect.
4. Click-lock method: This is a variation of the floating method, where the engineered wood planks are designed with a locking mechanism that clicks into place, eliminating the need for glue or nails.

The choice of installation method will depend on factors such as the type of subfloor, the thickness of the engineered wood planks, and the desired look and feel of the finished floor. It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for the specific type of engineered wood flooring being installed, as installation methods may vary.
