Understanding the type of flooring you choose is crucial before installation.
A “floating floor” refers to flooring where the pieces interlock with one another. These are not affixed to the subfloor but instead rest or “float” on top of it.
A glued-down floor is secured to the subfloor using adhesive, providing a firm attachment.
A nailed-down floor requires a plywood base or similar material for the nails to anchor into. Both glued-down and nailed-down floors offer a sturdier feel as they are firmly secured to the subfloor.
