There are few different ways currently exists in terms of hardwood flooring installation in Toronto.
Here are main systems used by professional wood flooring installers:

  • Tongue and groove system: One plank of wood material has a groove on its one side and end the other side and end of the wooden plank has a tongue i.e a wooden extend along an edge center
Further, the planks could be glued down to the sub floors or nailed down ( which is not recommended for the most engineered flooring material).

  • Click or lock Flooring installation system. In this case, two planks made of solid wood ( or engineered or laminated) are simply clicked together like a puzzle. Such system is perfect for self flooring installation. Minimal tools required and less construction mess is produced during the installation. This system is also beneficial for replacement flooring process as well as renovation. Limited solid hardwood flooring are design for the click system ( mostly used for the laminated and engineered flooring material).
  • Glue-down method is widely used within the flooring installation industry, especially for parquet type of wood flooring. It is also popular due to the fact that parquet floors could be glue-down to the concrete sub floors. However, glue-down method is not limited strictly to the parquet hardwood flooring and could be effectively used for engineered hardwood flooring installation as well.
There are many factors that could affect the system or method being used for flooring installation.  Additional research and knowledge about different installation systems will enable you to make an informative choice.

Most of the flooring installation companies provide free-of charge estimation, during which you can ask all the relevant questions in terms of flooring material, installation method, cost etc.

The cost of wooden floor material depends on the quality, type, size, populatiry, uniqness (exostic wood species such as brazilian cherry, oak etc) of the chosen wood flooring material. Each type of flooring material has its own advantages and downsides. However, in terms of cost the hierarchy goes like this: (from most expensive to least expensive) Hardwood Flooring, Engineered Hardwood Flooring, Laminate Flooring.There are reasons behind cost of the material.

Perhaps, the installation preparation process is more time consuming than the actual flooring installation. In comparison to glue-down method, used mainly by professional floor installers, the tongue and groove method requires less construction tools and flooring installation products. Moreover, tongue and groove method requires less effort for the DIY projects. Finally, in terms of money, the tongue and groove installation method would cost less, but the final look of your hardwood engineered floors  will be of equal quality as if you would use other two methods.

The installation guide provided by manufacturers is usually very informative and detailed. The hardest part could be to collect the proper measurements of the installation area, and as a result, the proper amount of the material needed for the installation.

Weather it is a DIY project or weather you are  planning to hire a team of professional flooring installers, don't forget to weigh all the pros and cons of the installation methods currently available.
