Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, allow the boards to acclimatize in the room where they will be laid for at least 48 hours to adjust to local humidity levels. Ensure your subfloor is level, clean, and dry to prevent future movement or creaking. Use a standard wood flooring adhesive or a secret nailing method to secure the boards to your joists. For maintenance, keep the floor free of grit by using floor mats at entrances, and clean regularly with a slightly damp mop or a vacuum with a soft brush attachment. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, as moisture can cause natural wood to swell.
