Easy Installation Method

Installation is easy with the click system that Bennett & Jones use in their engineered wood flooring creations. There is no need for excessive tools and this floor is even suitable for a floating installation without glue. With real wood flooring you must always leave the planks in their original packaging in the room that you intend to install it in for 48 hours prior to laying it. This allows the floor to acclimatise to the room’s temperature and moisture levels, as it made of an organic material that is reactive to heat and liquid. You should ensure that you prepare your subfloor accordingly so that it is clean, dry and free from cracks and debris. To compensate for any unevenness in the substrate it is recommended to use an underlay. This not only creates a moisture barrier but also insulates the sound made from impacts.  This flooring is even suitable for hot water based under floor heating systems when the guidelines are adhered to.
