Nola Dustless install all kinds of wood floors from regular domestic flooring to Antique and custom designed flooring. We offer all types of wood styles including Parquet, Medallion, Planks and strip. Investing in wood flooring for your house is an investment that takes careful consideration - why? There are endless amounts of wood types out there and vast arrays of stains that actually can look totally different depending on the wood you apply them to. Before installing your wood floor, we will determine what type (if any) of sub-floor is required. The type of sub-floor will help us determine the type of wood floor we can install. A sub-floor is a non-decorative layer of planks or plywood laid between the top flooring and the joists. Not only does it act as an insulator, but it also provides a good foundation for your final finish. For these reasons it is imperative you have an expert at hand to guide you through the process.
Installing
Glue Down - This is a very stable and solid floor on completion however it is time consuming and can be slightly more expensive. The advantage of glue down floors is the reduction in boards moving and thus creaking occurring when the floor settles.
Nail Down - This is the quickest and probably the most cost effective method of wood floor installation. The longterm longevity may not be the same as glue down as over time some creaking can occur however most wood types can be nailed down leaving you with more of a choice when it comes to the type of wood to choose.
Floating - This method is both cost effective and efficient. This floor will not creak once installed nor does it have to be attached to a sub-floor. Floating floors are very popular in today's world.
With the dustless sanding system that we employ during all of our projects, you can breathe easy knowing we will refinish your floors while keeping the air dust-free.
Nola Dustless has over 50 years of combined experience and knowledge of hardwood flooring.
Installation methods
We install wood floors using nail-down or glue-down methods when appropriate for the product, subfloor, and room.
Engineered vs. solid wood
Solid flooring is milled from one piece of wood. Engineered flooring has a real-wood wear layer over a layered core; selection depends on the room and subfloor.
Acclimation and humidity in Louisiana
Wood flooring should acclimate to jobsite conditions before installation. In Greater New Orleans, indoor humidity and temperature can vary, so we follow the flooring manufacturer’s requirements and recommend stable climate control.
Subfloor preparation
We check the subfloor for cleanliness, dryness, flatness, and soundness and address needed preparation before installation.
