When the adhesive has dried, either replace the baseboard you had previously removed or add show molding in order to cover the gap for expansion. Step 2 - Spread Adhesive: Spread your choice of floor adhesive on your floor. It is recommended to use a notched trowel to spread the adhesive because it will create notches that help with adhesion. Once the adhesive is placed along a section, you need to firmly put the boards in place.
It is recommended to lay rags down and then place concrete blocks down to add weight to the boards as they dry. Step 1 - Strip Flooring: Choosing to cover the entire area with strip flooring is optional, but it may make the process of having to be on your knees much more pleasant.
Step 2 Remove Baseboards: Before you can begin laying the new floor, you need to take the time to carefully remove the baseboards. If you remove them correctly, you can reuse them again after you have installed the new floor. Gently loosen it from the wall using a pry bar, then pull it from the wall. Step 4 - Apply Vapor Barrier: You need to lay your vapor barrier along the entire floor and an excess of 6 inches leading up each wall.
Fold in your corners so that it will be able to sit flush to your floor. Secure sections with a nail on the tongue, and simply slide in the next cut when you need one. For the best look, alternate your seams, moving from left to right and then right to left can help with this. About the Author: Gary.
