Install French Oak Hardwood Flooring in Palencia

/in /by

Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 does flooring, tile, and stone work for Residential and Commercial clients.

A local building contractor friend recently contracted Dan and his team to install 9.4″ wide engineered French Oak hardwood flooring from the Asheville collection by Palmetto Road in a new construction home in the Palencia community in St. Augustine, Florida. This home has over 3,000 square feet of floor space downstairs, and 1,300 square feet of flooring upstairs. This new house has large open rooms (and closets) and plenty of big windows, from which to enjoy views of the surrounding area.

– Exterior of new house.

Our flooring installation practice begins with leveling the subfloors. We leveled the concrete slab subfloor downstairs. And our crew sanded and hand scraped the edges of the sheet plywood subfloor upstairs. A quality flooring installation requires a leveled subfloor.

– Leveling.

We began engineered French Oak flooring installation at the back doors of the new house. Our crew laid flooring side to side as you entered the front door of the house. The hallway was over 80 feet long, and included a lot of doorways and door casings (to tuck the flooring under).

As can be seen in several photos, the fireplace provided opportunities for our crew to display our skill at tight flooring fitting. Our motto is “Measure twice, cut once.”

– Installing.

Our builder friend told us that he was very pleased with our French Oak flooring installation in the new house. Dan’s Floor Store always likes to have happy clients!

French Oak flooring - installed.

8″ wide French Oak Flooring Installation – Plantation

/in /by

Some of our local building contractors call Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 for their flooring projects (both new installations and refinishing, and also tile and stone work). This job for a local building contractor was installing 8″ wide, aged and smoked engineered French Oak flooring, Casimiro of the Villa Borghese collection by Bella Cera . We installed these wood floors in a 3,300 square foot new construction home in the Plantation community, in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.

Our crew began this project by leveling the concrete slab subfloor with quality Bostik SL175 . A leveled subfloor is important for a good flooring job.

We installed the French Oak flooring with durable Bostik GreenForce adhesive .
Some of the photos show the custom cut wooden reducers we made for every place where the Oak wood flooring met with the tile flooring. The top surface of the wood flooring was higher than that of the tile. These reducers create a smoother transition between areas of the two different flooring media.
An important part of appealing flooring installations is making precision cuts, like around in floor electrical outlets, in floor plumbing, built-in cabinetry, and fireplace hearths. Our plan is to “Measure twice, and cut once.” We used flooring straps when installing the French Oak wood flooring, because of the width of the flooring planks.

Seeing the finished French Oak flooring installation on this job, our client had to agree, it turned out beautifully. And Dan’s Floor Store likes to have happy clients!

These Marsh Landing Country Club neighborhood homeowners contracted Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 to replace or refresh the all the existing flooring in their home, while they were going to be away for 2 weeks.

Our crew began by removing the old flooring in most areas of the home. Next we leveled all of the bare concrete slab subfloor for a better wood flooring installation.

Then our crew installed 1,800 square feet of 8″ wide engineered, hardwood French White Oak flooring by Palmetto Road flooring, from the Veranda collection, color named Sand Dune. We used durable Bostik Greenforce adhesive to install the French White Oak plank flooring.

These photos show the installed French White Oak flooring.

Moving on to the kid’s bedrooms, we sanded and then finished 450 square feet of 2 1/4″ wide, select grade White Oak flooring.
– Our crew began by sanding these floors and hand scraping around the edges.
– Finishing, we first applied quality Pallmann products – clear waterborne polyurethane Pallmann Pall-X Clear Sealer.
– Then a second coat of finish, Pallmann Pall-X Power Ultra Matte.
– Our final finish coat was made with Pallmann Pall-X Gold Ultra Matte.

Here are some photos of the refinished 2 1/4″ wide White Oak flooring. To complete this home flooring improvement project, we installed shoe molding around the perimeter of all the wood flooring in this home.

Engineered French Oak Plank Flooring Installed in Ponte Vedra Beach

/in , /by

A local new home builder contracted Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 to install hardwood flooring in a project home under construction in Ponte Vedra Beach, on Ponte Vedra Boulevard.

We began by doing a large amount of leveling on the concrete slab and plywood sheet subfloors. Our crew always levels the subfloor prior to installing hardwood flooring.

The flooring selected for this project was 8″ wide x 9/16″ thick, engineered French Oak plank flooring from the Charleston collection; Cottonfield by Palmetto Road.

We covered 4,000 sq.ft. of floor with this engineered French Oak hardwood. For this project, our crew used Bostik Green Force adhesive . The flooring straps we use for the wide plank installations can be seen in some of the photos.

A picture framed fireplace, and a change of direction down the hall, leading to the master suite, were two highlights of the main French Oak flooring installation work.

We also installed the French Oak planks and nosing for a staircase.

What we considered to be the showpiece of this flooring project is in the bourbon room, where our crew made a special herringbone design with the French Oak flooring. To create the herringbone pattern, we made additional cuts on each plank, to make the extra tongues and grooves needed for a solid wood floor.

Our clients and builder were thrilled with our work and the outcome. And Dan’s Floor Store always likes to have happy clients and builders.

Engineered French Oak Flooring & Treads – Plantation Golf & Country Club PVB

/in , /by

Front view of the project home - Engineered French Oak flooring and stair tread installationDan’s Floor Store was contracted to install engineered French Oak flooring and stair treads in a new construction home in the Plantation Golf & Country Club community of Ponte Vedra Beach.
Boy, from this photo (taken when we went back for more photos) this is becoming such a beautiful home!

Our client selected 8″ wide, engineered French Oak flooring, from Bella Cera‘s Villa Borghese collection.

We began by leveling the concrete slab subfloor on the first level. We had to use a large amount of floor leveler to get the concrete slab ready for our wood flooring. Upstairs, our crew went from room to room, sanding all of the plywood subfloor seams to achieve a level surface.

Then we installed 4,000 square feet of the hardwood French Oak flooring. We used flooring straps when installing this French Oak wood flooring, because of the width of the flooring planks.

Our crew also did the staircase, including two landings and 21 treads in the same French Oak flooring, using nosing and flooring for the stair treads. In all, this project took several weeks to complete

The new flooring and stair treads were covered for protection while the rest of the construction work finished.

We returned to the home several weeks later, when the construction work was completed, and our new flooring and stair treads were unveiled. Everything looked great, so we got some more photos of this wood flooring and stairs project.

Engineered French Oak Flooring Installation in Nocatee

/in /by

Unless we are working with a new construction project, flooring installation projects usually require removal of the existing floor covering. And that is how we started this engineered French Oak flooring installation project.

Our crew began this project in a home in Nocatee by removing over 2,000 square feet of existing tile and wood flooring.

After we removed the tile and old wood flooring, we found a high level of moisture in the concrete slab subfloor. The high moisture content of the slab was caused by the tile having been put down before the slab had thoroughly cured.

So, after leveling the concrete slab subfloor, we applied Bostik MVP4 Moisture Barrier to the slab to abate the prevalent moisture.

Our client chose Bella Cera Villa Borghese engineered French Oak flooring in the Abele color. To be able to properly install the French Oak flooring, we undercut the stone fireplace, using a jamb saw with a masonry bit blade.

As evidenced by the note from our client, she was overjoyed with the job that we delivered! This turned out to be another beautiful wood flooring installation! And Dan’s Floor Store likes to have happy clients!

French Oak Hardwood Flooring Install – Matching Stairs – St. Augustine Beach

/in , , /by

French Oak hardwood flooring installedIt’s always nice when a prior client refers a friend to your business. For this wood flooring installation project in Saint Augustine Beach, one of Dan’s Floor Store’s prior clients referred a friend of theirs to us.

Our new client selected Bella Cera Villa Borghese engineered French Oak hardwood flooring in the Alessandra color. This is a really beautiful flooring with that kind of a whitewashed look that blends in beautifully with the beach area in which this house is situated.

Before we could install the new wood flooring, our crew did a massive amount of floor leveling with Bostik SL-150 Self Leveling Underlayment.

Then we had to seal the concrete floor with Bostik MVP4 because of a high level of moisture in the concrete slab subfloor.

Now were were ready to glue the engineered French Oak hardwood flooring down, over top of the MVP4 moisture barrier. The solid oak stair treads were done with a perfect stain match; super beautiful.

Needless to say these customers were so thrilled with the outcome of their wood floor installation and stair tread project. And Dan’s Floor Store likes to have happy clients!

French Oak Wood Flooring Installation and Stair Treads to Match in Vilano Beach

/in , /by

This Dan’s Floor Store project was in a new construction house in Vilano Beach, Florida. The home has a nice view across the Tolomato River from the back porch (where we set up a temporary work area).

Our client chose 8″ wide engineered French Oak wood flooring; Galano from the Villa Borghese collection by Bella Cera for this project.

Our crew did a lot of prep work on the plywood subfloor, i.e., sand off paint overspray and sanding down unlevel plywood seams.

We used flooring straps when installing the French Oak wood flooring, because of the width of the flooring planks.

Our crew sanded, stained, and finished the individual stair treads to match the new French Oak wood flooring, prior to installing them. We have found that working on the stair treads prior to installing them is much more efficient. Prior to installation is preferred to doing the stair tread work in place.

Our client agreed that the new wood floors and stained and finished stair treads turned out beautifully, and Dan’s Floor Store likes to have happy clients!

French Oak Wood Flooring Installation – Odom’s Mill PVB

/in /by

French Oak wood flooring installedClients living in the Odom’s Mill subdivision of Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida chose Dan’s Floor Store to improve their home by installing wood flooring. After removing their old carpeting and 500 square feet of tile flooring, we installed 2000 feet of French Oak wood flooring by Bella Cera.

First, we removed the the tile and carpeting. Then we could see the massive amount of floor leveling that needed to be done, in preparation for installing the new wood floors.

Bostik SL 150, self-leveling underlayment did a great job of leveling the subfloor. We took these photos while leveling the surface of the concrete subfloor.

For this French Oak wood flooring installation we used Bostik GreenForce adhesive and moisture control membrane. There was not a moisture problem in the concrete subfloor at this home. Our client said that they would feel better using the Bostik GreenForce adhesive with moisture control membrane so we did. Based on our years of experience, Dan’s Floor Store uses Bostik’s adhesives exclusively in our work.

Because of the 8 inch width of these French Oak wood flooring planks, we used special flooring straps to hold the planks together during installation.

Our client selected a grayish colored engineered, 8 inch wide by 5/8 inch thick Bella Cera French Oak hardwood designated Maracantonio in their Villa Borghese collection. This hardwood flooring is double smoked, wire brushed, hand distressed and hand stained, for an appearance that is very beachy and current.

We also removed all of the existing baseboards as part of this project. We replaced the old baseboards with 5 1/4 inch tall new baseboards and shoe molding.

Needless to say our customers were absolutely thrilled with the outcome of our work! They love their new wood floors! Reviewing this project, Dan was also very happy with the results he achieved. Dan is probably his own number one critic. Dan’s Floor Store focuses on the goal of the best craftsmanship possible with every Dan’s floor store project.
