Hardwood Flooring

Lee R asked:


I am installing hardwood on the lower level of my splitlevel home. Have removed a halfwall between kitchen and diningroom. Would like to install flooring parallel to joists but everything I’ve read says to install perpendicular. They also recomend laying the flooring parallel to length of room which would put my boards parallel to joists underneath. Any tips or ideas would help.

My husband and i are in the process of tearing the carpet out in our home. there is hardwood underneath the living room but not in the dining room and the hallway. We want the flooring to flow because all the rooms are connected. How do i match hardwoods that we would put in. Or how would laminate wood floor look up next to the real thing?

I want to take out my carpet and install hardwood in my house. It is built on a slab. I know i have to put down a moisture barrier between the concrete and the flooring. Do i glue the moisture barrier to the concrete then glue the hardwood to the moisture barrier?

I have started my own flooring business. Installing laminante and hardwood. While I am experienced in laminante, I have not had the oppurtunity to install hardwood.
I will be installing prefinished tongue and groove haardwood.
