    Been out installing today. 112mm wide solid wood flooring

    I was asked if i would refit a woodfloor for a company. The first wood floor failed due to poor quality plywood ! Anyway the original installer was not avalible so i was asked if would go out and help install / train one of there carpet fitters.

    So , i arrange for them to prepare the floor .

    I turn up and the plywood is down ready to go.

    Sorry, forgot to take pics until half way across the room.


    Nervous of the previously failed floor the fitter (carpet fitter) was told to put extra ring shanks in :shock:

    Some pics of the adhesive the chap put down. Not bad as he is not used to using a trowel.

    As the fitter was glueing i was fitting the wood flooring straight into the wet adhesive.

    The Adhesive was Rewmar. Really good stuff and like it a lot. :cool: Defo recommened it.

    They have some really good hand wipes also to remove any adhesive. Also it is solvent FREE and does not contain WATER either.

    :D



    And the finished job

    That rewmar is spot on, good price and I really liked it. I just can't believe how hard it is to get hold of? Are they mad, do they not want to sell the stuff?

    I can't buy it anywhere. No one delivers it. Travis wouldn't supply and the company rewmar put me on to as a distributer are useless. Called them twice for a price both times they said we will call u back and didn't bother

    just out of curiosity- why glue down and not nail down?
    I'm guessing its a timber subfloor as the plys pinned

    Its a 14mm product and the tongue design is not suitable for nailing. It has a locking tongue.

    Apart from that i prefer to glue. Even if the product could of been nailed i would still of glued.
