Site Preparation
Wood selection and procurement: The first step involves choosing the type of wood. Oak, maple, or walnut? Each species has its unique characteristics and charm.
Wood acclimatization: Once the wood is delivered, it must acclimate to your home's environment. This step is crucial to prevent future warping.
Floor Preparation
Cleaning and leveling: The floor must be clean and level. Any irregularity can affect the quality of the installation.
Underlay installation: The underlay is essential for sound and thermal insulation, as well as for protection against moisture.
Installation
Board layout: The arrangement of the boards must be planned for an aesthetic and functional appearance.
Cutting and fitting: The boards are precisely cut and fitted to perfectly suit your space.
Fixing: We use state-of-the-art techniques to securely fix the boards, ensuring the durability of your floor.
