So many times I find sales people selling people the improper type of wood flooring for there concrete subfloors. At California Flooring Service, we recommend engineered wood flooring over concrete slabs. This type of wood flooring will allow for contracting and expanding, unlike its counter part, solid wood. Solid woos must be nailed down. Here at California Flooring Service when we do Solid Wood, we use Urethane Glue and Nails when we install, but this must be a wood subfloor. Now, you can install a wood subfloor over the concret "sleeper" but this causes other transition problems and can be costl in Labor.
Your top layer of Engineered Wood flooring, is the species. whether its Maple, Walnut, Oak or whatever, the Top Layer is your true species. With smooth finish wood, you can sand and refinish it usually a couple times, providing the top layer is at least 3mm or more. if you get HandS craped wood, then if you sand it down, you lose the Hand Scraped aspect. You can get great ideas on how to do your own sanding and refinishing, installation tips and grtprofessional cleaning products at www.woodflooringcontractor.com. The only wood floor cleaning product we endorse and use here at California Flooring Service is Bona Kemi. use the swiffer thats provided in the Bona Kemi Kit and you can wash the terry cloth towell after each use.
