Frequently Asked Questions
Can my old floor be sanded?▾
Often yes, if enough thickness remains above the nails. A professional checks that before starting, because one sanding too many ruins the floor.
Why do gaps appear in winter?▾
Because dry air shrinks the wood. Keeping reasonable indoor humidity reduces it. The gaps often close again in spring.
Can a floating floor go over an uneven base?▾
Not without preparation. A wavy base makes joints creak and wears the locking system. Levelling is part of the job and belongs in the quote.
What flooring suits a basement?▾
A product that tolerates moisture, over a dry, properly insulated base. Solid hardwood rarely suits a basement.
Should neighbours be told?▾
In a building, yes, and check what the declaration of co-ownership or bylaws require for sound insulation before choosing the installation.
Flooring in Montréal: what to know
Many Montreal apartments have original hardwood, sometimes a century old, hidden under carpet or 1970s vinyl. Bringing it back is often cheaper than a new floor of equivalent quality.
Sanding
An old floor can usually be sanded several times, but not indefinitely: the thickness above the nails sets the limit. A professional checks that thickness before promising a result.
The subfloor
In an old plex, floors slope and undulate. You have to decide what gets corrected and what gets accepted. Fully levelling is expensive, and a floating floor over an uneven base eventually creaks at the joints.
Humidity
Wood moves with air humidity. In winter, too little creates gaps between boards; in summer, too much makes them swell. That is not a defect, that is wood being wood.
Condos and neighbours
In a building, sound insulation between floors may be governed by the bylaws or the declaration of co-ownership. Check before choosing your installation.
