Beachy Look White Oak Flooring Installation – St. Augustine

/in /by

Dan’s Floor Store was called by a previous client living in Davis Shores in St. Augustine, Florida to install some new wood flooring. We had refinished his wood floors, sanding and staining them during our prior visit. Then Hurricane Matthew came through and the floors in his home ended up under 17 inches of water!

His old flooring had to be removed along with the subfloor, drywall, doors and baseboards. All are new because of the hurricane’s water damage.

Beachy look White Oak flooring being installedFor his new wood flooring , our client selected an engineered wood flooring product made by Real Wood Floors, the Vintage Loft collection, color name Foundry.

  • These are 8 1/2inches wide by 5/8inches thick random length planks, up to 7 feet long with 80 percent of lengths to be long boards.
  • It also boasts a 4mm top and has a distinctive look with lines against the grain to add to the already wire brushed texture on this White Oak flooring.

Dan’s Floor Store crew prepared the new plywood subfloor by edging down the seams of the plywood sheets. The edged seams makes it possible for the new wood flooring to lay flat across subfloor. You can see the edged subfloor sheets in in some of the project photos.

We used Bostik’s GreenForce adhesive, a Zero VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) adhesive, for this job.

Dan’s Floor Store uses special flooring straps to hold these White Oak wood planks together during installation, due to the width of the planks.

The White Oak wood flooring in the Foundry color shows shades of grey, silver, and black, to exemplify a beachy modern flooring look.

Replacing Travertine with European White Oak flooring in St. Johns County

/in /by

Earlier this year, Dan’s Floor Store replaced approximately 1200 ft.² of Travetine tile with new European White Oak wood flooring in a home on the river in St. Johns county, Florida.

 

New European White Oak plank flooringThe flooring that was chosen for this project is Vintage Loft by Real Wood Floors, a wire brushed European White Oak wood flooring with a lot of texturing and some beautiful knots and grain for character.

First the existing Travertine tile flooring was removed.

In order for the new solid wood flooring to come flush to the existing Travertine in adjoining rooms, we installed “header boards”. Header boards run perpendicular to the direction of the wooden floor planks. We had to make perfect cuts for a good fit and pleasing appearance, using the old wisdom, “Measure twice and cut once”.

The mud bed for the old Travertine tile was not level enough to properly support the new wood flooring, so we had to taper and feather different thicknesses of plywood subfloor to graduate with the rolling mud bed and properly prepare and level the area for the new wood flooring.

We used flooring straps to get the floor super tight. Some of the planks/boards were very long boards up to 8 foot long to be exact.

The new European White Oak wood plank flooring has a 4 mm sawn face and is coated with UV cured oil. This wood flooring is 8 3/4 inches wide by 5/8 inch thick. The final European White Oak wood flooring looks beautiful!

New White Oak Flooring in Julington Creek

/in /by

Owners of a charming home in Julington Creek in Jacksonville, Florida wanted to upgrade the look and value of their home by installing new wood flooring to cover 800 square feet of the floors in their home.

Following one of our free Dan’s Floor Store consultations, the home owners chose the 8 1/2 inch wide by 5/8 inch thick wire brushed engineered White Oak flooring, with a UV oil topcoat: Vintage Loft by Real Wood Floors.

  • A UV oil finish makes for an attractive furniture-type finish. The oil actually penetrates the wood’s surface and provides rich appearance.

First we remove the old carpet and carpet padding, and clean the slab subfloor.

This photo shows some of the thorough and often extensive subfloor leveling which Dan’s Floor Store must perform as part of every single job. The wood flooring must lay perfectly flat to avoid developing problems with the new wood floor after installation.

This photo shows wood floor planks being strapped together with special flooring straps during installation, due to the width of the planks.

This photo shows wood planks being installed onto the leveled sublfoor, to which wood floor adhesive has been applied.

This new wire brushed engineered White Oak wood floor is a beautiful installation, accented with a lot of radius cuts of the wood planks in the staircase area and elsewhere.
