installing hardwood floors Frequently Asked Questions
when installing hardwood floors , should i run all the wood the same way throughout the house?
i always thought the way to do it was to run it wich ever way the room is longer , but i have an open floor plan , so even though some of the rooms are seperated , (study and living room are seperated by foyer,study is east of foyer,living room is north, in the study i ran the wood n to s should i do the same in the living room even though the room is longer east to west?
It's a matter of personal taste. I like a-asymmetry: every room in my house is/would be different, if I did it again. There is a lot to be said for symmetry on the Macro scale, but it's the details that make homes interesting.
Our 115 yr old farm house floor is bowing, what do I do ?
In the living room of my 115 year old farm house the original structure of the house was built with 12-14 inch logs which run every foot or so above the basement and under our living space. We bought the hardwood floors to install but have not put them in yet because the floor bows terribly. Between the center of the floor and the outwards walls there is atleast a 6" difference..The logs are sound. The weather is so drastic here -25 to 90+. What can we do to even it out without emptying my wallet completely ? Thanks !
first of you have to have total access above and below the existing joists. the old floor must be removed both finished and rough. auxiliary 2x6 or 2x8 joists sound like the best way to go depending upon the span ( check the code with a local carpenter- you may even need 2x10s if it's a large room). if the old timber frame is in good condition as you say, i would consider leaving it in place. the next question has to deal with further bowing. if you secure the auxiliary joists to the timber frame and it continues to bow, you may end up with the same problem. it may be best to let them ride next to each other unmarried. in that way additional bowing of the timer frame joists shouldn't affect the new joists. i know - it's a shame to waste the support of those old joists if the bowing is in fact complete. you'll have to wrestle with that one. after the sub-structure is level you can then proceed with the rough and finished floors. tada! good luck.
