Could You Stsple Every Other Row Of Hardwood Flooring

In my opinion the best thing you could do is have a section of flooring pulled out and see exactly what the subfloor and or backside of the flooring look like.

Could you stsple every other row of hardwood flooring. Check with the flooring manufacturer for recommendations. There is always a possibility. It makes the space seem bigger and helps for resale. Tap the planks into place gently with a mallet or using a tapping block and hammer.

In this case you may only have to repair the section pulled out. While personal preference is a factor the direction in which you run hardwood flooring boards is governed by visual and structural guidelines. Check with the flooring manufacturer for recommendations. This may show more to the extent of the damage.

Thanks for the question. The correct direction for laying hardwood floors. Load the brad nailer with 1 2 inch brads. If there is a doorway at the end of the hall that separates the spaces you can choose to install wood running in a different.

What if you just removed the floor trim and like two of every three planks to make them longer and flow into the next room then just do the same flooring. I think you should always do the same throughout if you can. Attach the groove of the next row to the tongue of the first row ensuring a snug fit. When installing new wood flooring parallel to an existing solid nail down floor add a minimum of 3 8 plywood underlayment over the existing floor to increase stability.
