Preparing for Boen Floor Installation

Regardless of whether it is Boen solid or engineered wood flooring, the products need to undergo the process of acclimatisation for at least 48 hours before fitting. This means, allowing the wood to stay in the same area where it will be fitted in order to adjust to the internal environmental conditions, such as temperature and humidity. In addition, subfloor preparation is essential to ensure that the flooring will be fitted over a perfectly even, dry and clean subfloors. This may involve the application of self levelling compound over concrete subfloors or the installation of underlays or ply wood over wooden subfloors.

Floating Installation of Boen Engineered Flooring

Most Boen engineered wood products, particularly those of 14 mm thickness, are installed as “floating” with the use of their bespoke Xpress Click System. This is a unique engineered floor installation system allowing the individual planks to strongly bond together creating s very stable and secure connection. This floating fitting system also allows for the installation of moisture and sound insulating underlays, ensuring the floors durability and protection. Because of this floating installation, Boen engineered floors are also ideal for areas with underfloor heating systems.

Glue-down Installation

All BOEN X-PRESS 5G products are glued-down to a well levelled, dry and clean subfloors. Those include the 14 mm 3-strip and 1-strip, multi-layer which come with tongue and groove fitting system. The boards are glued down to the surface with the use of speial wood floor adhesives and there is no need to glue between the tongue and the groove.

Boen Solid Wood Nail-Down Installation

The fitting of Boen solid wood products, which are 23mm thick is usually done by nailing down using a specific nail puncher, also called nail gun. The nail down fitting requires a particular skill and it is not something that can be done as a DIY job. Nails are placed at an angle of 45 degrees to the floor to ensure that they cannot be seen from the surface. This method is also called a secret nailing.

Finally, whatever the installation method, it is important that an expansion gap is always left between the natural wooden flooring and the walls or the edges of the room to ensure that there is a sufficient space for the natural expansion and contraction of the timber to take place.

Some Frequently Asked Questions
About

More help...

Can engineered parquet flooring be refinished?

Yes, engineered parquet flooring can often be refinished, but its refinishing potential depends critically on the thickness of its top hardwood veneer layer (wear layer). Unlike solid parquet, which can be sanded many times, engineered parquet has a finite amount of sandable wood. If the veneer is thick enough (typically 3mm or more), it can usually be sanded and refinished at least once, and sometimes two or three times over its lifetime. A professional assessment is always recommended to determine if your specific engineered parquet floor has enough wear layer remaining for a successful restoration
How are your floor restoration service prices calculated?

Our wooden floor restoration service prices are primarily calculated based on several key factors. The most significant element is the type of wooden flooring and the total size in square meters of the area to be restored. We also consider the current condition of the floor, as heavily damaged floors requiring extensive repairs. The type of finish chosen (e.g., oil-based, water-based lacquer, hardwax oil) also influences the price, with commercial grade finishes often being more expensive and some are slower drying.
Finally, any additional services like staining, custom colour matching, or intricate pattern work will be factored into the final price. We aim to provide a transparent, itemised quote after an on-site assessment to ensure you understand all components of the cost.
Do you provide free quotations?

Yes, we offer a quick provisional quote based on the details provided by the client. This helps with budgeting. Alternatively, we can conduct an obligation-free site survey to take exact measurements and assess the specific needs of your wooden floors.
After the site visit, we will provide a final itemized quote within 48 hours. You can request a free site visit either through the "Get a Quote" option on our website or by giving us a call.
Do you repair mosaic fingers parquet flooring?

Yes, mosaic fingers are quite common assets and very often they go through some repairs. Gap filling is always recommend for this type of floor after the repairs.
Do you replace original floorboards with seasoned / reclaimed material?

Yes, as part of our floorboards repairs service we only work with seasoned pine material, which will reflect the age and colour of your existing boards as closely as possible. This ensures a seamless integration with your current flooring.
If the natural color of the new boards does not perfectly align with the existing ones, we can perform local staining to achieve a better match.
