Wood Flooring

Wood Flooring
By Mark Flooring Mark's blog

I’ve received an advanced copy of Wood Flooring: A Complete Guide to Layout, Installation, and Finishing and I can say it is loaded with outstanding information. From basic wood flooring–including engineered wood flooring–installation tips and tricks to diagnosing wood floor failures the book is cover-to-cover rich with important information. 

If you’re a beginner–especially if you’re working in an old house–Wood Flooring has the basic information you need–everything from underlyament to a wood density chart.
