Yes. The adhesive is flexible so allows the wood to seasonally adjust

Is the floor able to contract and expant if it is glued?

първо оцапа целата стена,а би требвало да премериш първия ред поне на сухо ако е крива стената да ги отрежеш и тогава мажи лепило,а не да гисложиш и после да ги вадиш с лепило омърляни за да ги режеш.

Rewmar MS Polymer adhesive is flexible, contains no moisture and allows for seaonal movement of the wood. If there is a moisture issue with the concrete then the floor should by coated with a suitable DPM prior to installing the wood floor

Yeah that is the way they used to do it in the 1970′s…things have changed…the glue has advanced greatly in the last 40 years. It is a water proof sealer, flexes for wood expansion, is anti fungal, anti microbial and holds so well good luck if you have to take it out.

Most of these glues…like Bostic and others have a 30 to 40 year warranty. This is the preferred method for professionals…it is so nice to actually be able to seamlessly transfer from tile to wood.

Feel sorry for anyone who has to tear that out later. Should have used less glue running perpendicular with the planks at the ends and maybe in the middle depending on length. Still holds it down, but isn’t a disaster later when the homeowner has to remove it.

how did you figure on out if your board were straight did you go by the backwall??

Concrete and Wood expand and contract at different rates in addition to absorbing ambient moisture at different rates.Glueing both together can cause warping issues.

Wonder how did his back feel after all this??

Great video you should post on contractortube. com

You’ve obviously never worked with this glue. Ever been in any high class shopping malls with the fancy stores they all have wood glued on concrete? Try ripping the wood up sometime. You literally need a jackhammer to do it and even then its hard to get up with out breaking the concrete to pieces. My only concern is working with prefinished 3/4 inch material that is not very square and having to clamp and deal with a sticky mess. But you can do it your way its just a lot more work

deleetmeeh July 21st, 2012 (#)

The only thing I dislike about doing this on concrete is if you get material that is thick and not so straight you will have a heck of a time trying to install. It will be one sticky mess with clamps and such. Make sure to go with an engineered floor on concrete and not 3/4 hardwood you’ll save yourself a huge headache. If you do use hardwood make sure you look into it thoroughly to make sure it is a good square product to work with. I’ve had 3/4 in prefinished wood that varied quite a bit.

i`ve fitted lots of solid wood floors on top of woodtex laminate underlay and glued it all together with wood glue as a floating floor and strapped it all together and left it over night then pop straps off next day….that way the floor doesn`t have to be perfectly level and there is no problems with boards coming loose from the floor and rattling when walked on

This totally sucks! they hve no idea what they doing! That’s why they don’t job! They talk more then they work duds! Totally pendejos!

azidiot99 July 21st, 2012 (#)

If you use the cut piece from one row to start the nest your seams will look like a step ladder, not good. Skip a row or two for a more professional look.

ThePantyDroper July 21st, 2012 (#)

I would never use that underlay. She also used way too many finishing nails with the brad nailer. You only need 4 max.

baldyned July 21st, 2012 (#)

Here’s a question for you Scott..why are you such a cock?

kjbaert July 21st, 2012 (#)

sorry, also dont use tar paper as an underlayment. use the same material but without the tar in it. youll smell that later on.

kjbaert July 21st, 2012 (#)

myself i recomend keeping the flooring in the house for about three months before installation.

Showing the calculations using the real numbers instead of xxx would have been real helpful.

tarkett85 July 21st, 2012 (#)

moisture moisture why don’t you mention the most important thing about any floorcovering

tarkett85 July 21st, 2012 (#)

also test moisture in subfloor, floorcovering and Rh of the room to be fitted in they must match or you will get a failed floor. also letting the boards acclimatise could take weeks or months not just days you MUST test prior to fitting

OneJokeAtATime July 21st, 2012 (#)

They didn’t show the blind nailer because the don’t know how to use it. The biggest tools in this whole video were them. Plus anyone who KNOWS how to lay hardwood knows that you dry lay six or more rows to make sure the end seams look OK.
