the flooring properly and over time it can cause disastrous results. Poorly

you are placing it over concrete then it is usually better to use 3/8 materials
because they are thinner. Otherwise you can get away with using 3/4.
Another thing to consider with hardwood flooring is that although many
do require you to sand them down afterwards, there are some which come
pre-prepared. That means that your only job is to place the hardwood flooring
down and then you have finished. If this appeals to you, you should look out for
that option either online or in your local hardware store.

fit the flooring it is essential that you know what you are doing. If you are
not convinced that you can do it properly then hire a professional or get
somebody else you know to do it for you. It is vital that you get it right so
ensure that you do know what you are doing beforehand Charlotte
