Knowledgebase

Welcome to the knowledgebase section of the Floor Works website.

What we’ve tried to do is compile almost 50 years of wood flooring experience into a directory that addresses some of the most common questions/issues/concerns that arise when installing a wood floor in New York City.  We’ve included everything from issues associated with glueing a floor down over tar to clearing the front door to the apartment.  You’ll also find general information on specie, graining, sub-floors, resolving water/leak issues and tricks for working in a house.  We hope you find the information worthwhile and any questions can be directed to QA@floorworksny.com.
