WOOD FLOORING INSTALLATION

Installing RevWood flooring from Mohawk is quick and easy with Uniclic® Technology, our exclusive glueless locking system. For most customers, we recommend hiring a professional to properly install it, but you can still do a few things to prepare.

Both SolidWood and TecWood floors are a beautiful addition to your home, and we’re excited to help you get your installation started. We recommend hiring a professional installation team to ensure it’s all done properly. These tips will help you prepare so everything goes smoothly on the big day.

When you buy SolidWood, TecWood or RevWood flooring, ask your retailer if they have professional floor installers on staff. If not, ask them to recommend an independent installer for your area. In most cases, the retailer will handle all the details of arranging the installation.

Be sure to ask about additional fees for things like old flooring removal and disposal, and moving larger furniture pieces.

Aside from clearing the installation areas in your home, there are a few other ways to prepare:

• Some RevWood floors may need to acclimate to the new environment for 48 hours, so it’s good to have it delivered to your home at least two days before installation.
• Make sure your SolidWood and TecWood floors are delivered to your home at least two days before installation so they can acclimate to the environment. Use the temperature and humidity guidelines recommended for your hardwood floors.
• Always examine your new flooring for damage or defects before installation.
• Be sure to read and follow the installation instructions.
• Take care of any repairs to the subfloors before installing any new flooring, and make sure they're clean and free of debris.

Your professional SolidWood, TecWood or RevWood flooring installation team will arrive with the expertise, tools, and supplies to install your new wood. They’ll need access to electrical power outlets and an area to store their electrical tools, so be prepared to help them set up. It's good to have an idea of how you want to orient your flooring, but the installers should be able to advise if you’re not sure.

Installing new floors, especially in several rooms at once, will likely disrupt your daily routine. Keep in mind that your furniture and belongings will get moved around; plan ahead for removing and disposing of old flooring with your installers.

Keep your new SolidWood, TecWood or RevWood floors in excellent condition with our wood maintenance guidelines.
