FloorMall University - where YOU become the Expert!

ood Flooring that carries the WFI and/or NOFMA trademark/certification is a precision-made product of enduring beauty. The ultimate appearance and performance in any application, however, are dependent upon the installer and upon close attention to a number of details prior to and during the actual installation process.

In this manual we have incorporated many years of practical experience to describe the simplest methods of achieving successful installations of various types of oak and other hardwood flooring.

This information is generally applicable to most hardwood flooring. Individual manufacturers may provide instructions which vary from these, particularly in the laying of specialty floorings. Always read and follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer.

Before starting any flooring installation please be sure to read all sections of this manual. Should you encounter a situation not covered here, or have additional questions, we invite you to contact the Technical Department of NOFMA for assistance. 901/526-5016, 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Central Time, Monday through Friday.

NOTE: This brochure covers only the installation methods. Finishing is treated in a separate manual available on request from the WFI.
