Dan’s Floor Store was contracted by the owner of a home in the Palencia community in St. Augustine, Florida to install some new Pacific Madrone wood flooring in her home.

Her home had been one of the model homes for the community. First we had to remove the old laminate flooring that had been installed in her home. Then we could see that there was a moisture problem in the concrete slab. The slab had not been properly cured prior to installing 6 mm thick plastic as a moisture barrier. First we leveled the concrete subfloor with Bostik SL 150 self-leveling underlayment. (Most concrete slab floors must be leveled to prevent damage to the new wood flooring.) Then we solved the slab moisture problem by installing Bostik MVP (Moisture Vapor Protection) which also serves as an Anti-Fracture and Noise Reduction Membrane. Bostick MVP will protect the new wood flooring from damage by moisture from the slab.

Our client selected a beautiful 3″ wide x 9/16″ thick domestic wood flooring made of Pacific Madrone the wood of a broad leafed evergreen tree found in the Pacific Northwest of our United States. Although Madrone is not often used for flooring, this wood makes a beautiful floor, as you can see in the photos we took after installation. EcoTimber made this wood flooring, which is FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) Certified. FSC Certification is probably the hardest of certifications to get for wood flooring. Another plus for our client’s selection is that there is no formaldehyde in the adhesive that attaches the sub-ply to the veneer of this impressive Pacific Madrone wood flooring.

We also finished this job with white shoe molding around the baseboards and stained-to-match shoe molding around the kitchen cabinetry. As seen in the photos, we did not use any molding around the giant quartz  fireplace. We created a seamless look with all of the Pacific Madrone wood flooring boards butted up tightly to the fireplace hearth.

Our customer was thrilled with her new wood floors. We all agreed that this was another great wood flooring job by Dan’s Floor Store.
