Laying hardwood floors

In fact, this technique of laying hardwood floors is followed by only about one day to complete. At that time you can move all of your furniture in and proceed with life. With older techniques, you may be inconvenienced for more than a week.

Also, using this technique, will allow you to install solid wood floor panels rather than manufactured floor panels. These solid hardwoods are thicker and tolerate more abuse.

- Tools

In practice, using staples for laying hardwood floors is not all that much different than using nails. You can use mostly the same tools to perform either task. The obvious difference being that you'll need staples and a stapler instead of a nails and a nailer. Here is a list of the main tools you'll need for this technique:

Staples - You need some sturdy staples so that you can firmly attach your hardwood panels to the wall and foundation.

Stapler - You need to have a good, sturdy staple gun to make driving the staples as easy as possible.

Carpenter's Crayon - You need to mark guidelines for where you'll fit each of the hardwood panels together. You'll also need to mark the floor panels up so you will know where and how to cut them to fit the angles and objects of the room where the floor is being laid.
