What to Expect | Calgary Hardwood Flooring Installation
Delivery
Our deliveries are Monday to Friday 8am - 5 pm. We will do our best to give you an approximate time the day of delivery.
Hardwood Flooring Installation
- Our installers typically start between the hours of 8 - 9 am and work until 5 pm. If you require specific dates or times, please notify your sales rep.
- Being a renovation project, please expect some noise and dust. Our installers will do their best to control and minimize the amount of dust. All areas not being done will be polyed off and we will bag the mitre saw used in the home. Our table saw will be used outside on nice days or will be used indoors connected to a portable vacuum.
- Please ensure all furniture is moved from areas that will be getting new flooring the day prior to the arrival of our installers.
- When we do any type of flooring removal, disposal is included.
Humidity
Maintaining hardwood floors is key to its long lasting beauty. The proper humidity should be maintained to minimize gapping that may occur in the dry months. Ideally, you should have your humidity kept at 45% in your home year round. If you do not have enough humidity in your home, you may see possible gapping, checking, as well as some squeaking. We suggest a hygometer to know true humidity level in your home.
RECOMMENDED HUMIDITY SETTINGS - 3/4" solid hardwood ( 35% - 55% )
- engineered hardwood ( 35% - 65% )
Hardwood Flooring Maintenance
- Hardwood floors should be vacuumed with a soft bristle brush prior to cleaning. Especially around foyers and kitchen areas as there maybe more debris on the floor.
- Only use recommended hardwood floor cleaners and follow cleaning instructions. Ex: BONA FLOOR CARE KIT.
