Hardwood Flooring Installation Areas

A hardwood floor could be installed above grade or on grade in the following subfloors:

• Wood Subfloors either plywood or OSB board. Remember that wood subfloors must be structurally sound and free from movement.

• Concrete subfloors. When installing hardwood flooring on concrete, this must be at least 30 days old, and must have passed all moisture tests.

• Hardwood flooring could be installed over radiant heating systems, only if approved and recommended by the manufacturer.

• Hardwood flooring could also be installed over tile, stone, bamboo and vinyl. These surfaces must be checked for integrity prior hardwood installation.
