okay, so you’re thinking about putting in new floors? That’s great! Getting the right tools can make all the difference and save you a ton of headaches. Let’s talk about a few must haves:
Flooring Nailers: If you’re going with hardwood, these are your best friends. These tools are made to shoot nails at just the right angle into the wood. What’s so good about that? Well, they hold each piece of flooring super tight without messing up the surface. Trust me; you don’t want to be hammering each nail by hand!
Flooring Staplers: Think of these as nailers, but they use staples instead of nails. These are awesome for floors like engineered wood or laminate. They can also be faster than using a nailer, so you’ll get the job done quicker.
↔️ Spacers: These little things might not look like much, but they’re super important. They’re just small plastic pieces that you put between the edge of the floor and the wall. Why? Because floors need room to breathe. As the temperature and humidity change, your floor will expand and contract. Spacers make sure there’s a consistent gap all the way around the room so your floor doesn’t buckle or warp.
So, to wrap things up: Nailers, staplers, and spacers are tools that help make sure your new floor looks amazing and stays put for years to come. Using them can really make a difference!
