Today practically all manufacturers follow to some degree what the national wood flooring association nwfa recommends. While manufacturers have made hardwood floors easy to install you do need to take a few steps to prepare the room to make installation easier.

And one of their recommendations is the use of asphalt felt paper over wood sub floors. There may be staples that didn t seat completely so check for them by carefully running your hands over the felt. I am halfway through installing my hardwood floor about 1200 sqft. I find no sense in gluing wood to paper.

What is your expert opinion on the best type of underlayment for my solid hardwood flooring i e wax paper one sided with silicone wax paper two sided felt rosin paper aquabar. Laminate flooring which often contains wood requires a cushioning layer between the laminate planks or tiles and the floor beneath. Nowhere do they mention rosin paper. I personally no longer use rosin paper on wood floor installs simply because i like to use adhesives on miter cuts used for perimeter picture frames and inlays.

With hardwood flooring you have several different installation options. Depending on the product you choose hardwood flooring can be either nailed down glued down or installed with the floating installation technique. Once the floor is covered with felt the tidying up begins.
