Sunshine Flooring 101: Understanding the Installation Process

Jan 10, 2024

Installing new flooring can be an exciting and transformative experience for any homeowner. However, the installation process can often seem daunting and overwhelming. At Sunshine Flooring, we want to make sure our customers are well-informed and comfortable with the installation process. In this article, we will break down the steps of our installation process and provide tips for a smooth and successful flooring installation.


Pre-Installation Preparation

Before the installation process begins, it is important to properly prepare the space. This includes removing all furniture and items from the room, as well as any old flooring. Our team will also inspect the subfloor for any damage or unevenness that may need to be addressed before installation. This step is crucial for ensuring a smooth and long-lasting installation.


Acclimation Period

Flooring materials need time to acclimate to the environment they'll be installed in. This step is crucial to prevent issues like warping or buckling. Follow manufacturer recommendations for the acclimation period, allowing the flooring to adjust to the temperature and humidity of your home.


Subfloor Inspection and Preparation

Inspecting and preparing the subfloor is a critical step in ensuring a successful installation. Whether you have a plywood or concrete subfloor, it must be clean, dry, and level. Any imperfections should be addressed, ensuring a stable foundation for your new Flooring.


Flooring Layout and Design

Work with your installer to plan the layout and design of your Flooring. This step involves deciding on patterns, considering the direction of the planks, and ensuring a cohesive and aesthetically pleasing result.


Installation Process for Other Flooring Types

For other types of flooring, such as carpet, our team will first measure the space and determine the amount of materials needed. The flooring will then be delivered and acclimated to the room's temperature and humidity levels. Our team will then begin the installation process, which may include cutting and fitting the flooring, as well as applying adhesives or nails. Once the installation is complete, our team will clean up the space and provide instructions for proper maintenance.


Final Inspection and Customer Satisfaction

After the flooring installation process is complete, our team will conduct a final inspection to ensure everything is up to our high standards. We will also walk through the space with the customer to ensure their satisfaction and address any questions or concerns. Our goal is to provide a seamless and stress-free installation process for our customers.


By understanding the floor installation process, our customers can feel confident and prepared for their new flooring. At Sunshine Flooring, we are dedicated to providing top-quality products and services to our customers.
