Product Description

Wood You Like's Wooden Floor Installation Manual,Everything you need to know about DIY wooden floors: learn all the tricks of the trade, know what to look for when selecting your wood floor, what to ask the sales-person (and more importantly what every sales person should ask you about your circumstances such as what type of underfloor your home has). The Manual is the first in its kind: written by specialists who deal with wooden flooring and all the different situations imaginable on a daily basis, situations and circumstances DIY-ers can encounter too but with the Manual at hand are no longer an obstacle for them. The manual covers all the basics from what to note when selecting your own natural wooden flooring, the schedule of works, three different installation methods to the easy maintenance principles that will keep your floor healthy and beautiful and much, much more. Installing a wood floor isn't rocket science - all it needs is some common sense, patience, the right preparations at the right time and of course quality materials and the right tools. Wood You Like's Installation Manual for Wooden Flooring covers it all: including tricks of the trade to install your own floor like a professional!

From the Back Cover

"How do I install the last row?"..... "My room is part chipboard, part concrete. What do I do?".... "Can I install a wood floor in a kitchen?".... "I've got underfloor heating, can I have wood flooring?".... "Do I glue or float my wood floor?".... . "The pack says to glue it, the supplier says nail it. Now what?".... "I've got two dogs and four kids, my wife likes wood flooring, what do you suggest?".... "How do I know how much wood to buy?".... "There are Marley tiles, can I glue a wood floor on them?"....

Just a small collection of questions that has found its way to Wood You Like's inbox over the last 5 years. After answering all questions individually the owners/directors have now created a comprehensive manual on installing natural wooden floorboards for diy-ers based on these frequently asked questions. The manual covers all basics from what to note when selecting your own natural wooden flooring, the schedule of works, three different installation methods to the easy maintenance principles that will keep your floor healthy and beautiful and much, much more.

Installing a wood floor isn't rocket science - all it needs is some common sense, patience, the right preparations at the right time and of course quality materials and the right tools. Wood You Like's Installation Manual for Wooden Flooring covers it all: including tricks of the trade to install your own floor like a professional!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Guide, 18 Jan 2011
This review is from: Wooden Floor Installation Manual: Everything You Need to Know About DIY Wooden Floors (Q&A's on Wooden Floors) (Paperback)
I have long been a fan of Karin from 'Wood You Like' through her help in online forums. Taking the plunge to lay a wooden floor this guide was a must for me. Great little book that as well as giving superb advice also debunks many myths regarding what products can and cannot be used where.

If you are thinking about laying your own wood floor then it really is a must have item but get it at right at the start of the process to gain the nest results.

5.0 out of 5 stars get orofessional results when laying a wooden floor, 13 April 2010

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Wooden Floor Installation Manual: Everything You Need to Know About DIY Wooden Floors (Q&A's on Wooden Floors) (Paperback)
Not a book as such, more of a DIY help guide and very good it is too! If you are planning to lay a wooden floor for the first time, then this book is a real god send.
Many topics are covered, (eg. preparing an existing floor, glue or nail) and advice is also provided in plain english.

If you purchase the book there are so many photos and other floor laying projects giving you ideas, general help and advice which can be viewed if you to visit their web site.
If you have laid a floor before then this book may still appeal. It has lots of hints and tips from people who lay the wooden floors for a living. Not celeb DIY'ers here.
In short, it's like having an expert on hand to ask how they would get around a specific problem...

5.0 out of 5 stars Manually the best, 8 Dec 2011
This review is from: Wooden Floor Installation Manual: Everything You Need to Know About DIY Wooden Floors (Q&A's on Wooden Floors) (Paperback)
This manual puts all the information, including the often misleading and/or vague instruction on the packets, together between two covers and leaves very little doubt on how to go about laying any flooring. I needed to use the secret nailing method and although the detail on this method was limited, all the other advice more than made up for it by having loads of practical and technical included for all the other methods.
