Prevent
any scratches and indentations on the surface of the
board by keeping the nailer plate (base) clean, free
from nicks and scratches at all times. Also by putting
down the nailer on the plywood or on a piece of cardboard,
not directly on the prefinished floor.
By
adopting a standing position while using the manual
nailer, you will deploy more strength when you drive
the nails in. Nails that are nearly embedded can be
driven in place by using the hammer and nail punch.
Hold
the nailer firmly in place and hit the head with the
rubber end of the mallet.
Make sure the nailer base is squared and sits well
on the edge of the strip to avoid damaging the edges
of
the strips.
Verify
regularly the hardwood floor nailer is in working
condition to prevent damages to the strips.
*Pneumatic
nailer. Air pressure should be adjusted adequately for
each species of hardwood floor being installed and checked
regularly (always try it before using).
*Great attention to detail during fabrication on the part
of the Vintage Hardwood Flooring team ensures exceptional
QUALITY in the finished product. Longevity of hardwood
floors is directly related to proper installation and
lifetime commitment to appropriate care and maintenance.
Moldings
used with Hardwood Floors
Wood
floors require an expansion space at the wall. Molding
is used to cover the expansion area, to hide cut ends,
to create height differences, and to accent the floor.
Profiles are many and vary through the industry.
