Whoa...up there with the old Patina solid stuff.



Thats about what the Navarre collection is running.

Snip: Navarre Timeless Wood Floors™ consists of 24 wide plank natural oil finished oak floors in an engineered tongue and groove construction. Three widths and two thicknesses are represented:

· 7 ¼” width in 13/16” and 5/8” thickness

· 10 ¼” width in 13/16” thickness

· 12” wide, 3-strip in 5/8” thickness

According to Erramuzpe, “The 13/16” thickness and its ¼” wear layer is similar to a solid floor but much more stable and offers the option to be glued down over a concrete slab.


Lengths run like 84 inches to 72 inches and 6mm wear layer

I want the video of the first time you lay a 12" wide by 6 foot long plank on the second row, into the glue and try to engage the tongue & groove!!!!


Take it from experience. You will not be so eager to take on another wide/long plank gluedown!

You might show me some pictures of how you tried it and I might enlighten you.

I just finished one, piece of cake. Infact the install went so quick with those widths and lengths. Big, easy money.
Tapping block, Pull Bar, Strap Clamps :wink:

Yes, strap clamps are the key, as you beat the crap out of it.

Setting the plank, with that much surface into the glue and it doesn't budge.

Perry, I could see where that might be a problem working by yourself. But using a helper and engaging the T&G before it hits the glue might help.

Did a Kahrs 11" wide by 7 foot planks.

The first time I sat a plank for the second row, panic sat in. It didn't move.

After I fought that first three rows worth of adhesive I had spread. I quit spreading out so much adhesive, so it was really wet and I could slip and slide the plank.

Oh ya... You can easily have a fight on your hands with that tight t&g tolerance. And that soft Spruce back, that the glue sucks down, ( especially if it's flashed), and the porosity of the Spruce back sets the glue even quicker :roll: .
