Timber Flooring Installation FAQs
Q: How long does timber flooring installation take?
Installation timelines vary based on many factors, such as the size of the space, type of flooring selected, and the installation method to be used. As a general guide, most residential projects take between 1 to 5 days to complete. Your chosen installer will be able to provide a more accurate timeframe after assessing your project site and understanding the requirements.
Q: Do you need to prepare your home for installation?
Yes, some preparation is required. We recommend clearing the area of all furniture and personal items prior to installation. If necessary, existing flooring may need to be removed, and your subfloor should be clean, dry, and level. Your installer can guide you through any specific requirements ahead of time.
Q: Can timber flooring be installed over tiles?
Yes, timber flooring can often be installed over existing tiles, provided the tiles are sound, level, and properly adhered. Your installer will assess whether the existing surface is suitable or if preparation work is needed to ensure a secure and long-lasting result.

Q: Can you install timber flooring over underfloor heating?
Yes, many of our engineered timber flooring products are compatible with underfloor heating. However, suitability varies between products and also between the type of underfloor heating system being used. Installation must follow strict guidelines to protect the integrity of the timber. Always confirm product compatibility with your Havwoods consultant before making a selection.
Learn more:
Q: Are there different types of flooring installation methods?
Yes. The most common timber flooring installation methods are:
- Glue-down (Direct Stick)
- Floating Floor
- Nail-down (typically for solid timber)
Each has its own benefits depending on the project, subfloor type, and usage requirements. Your installer or Havwoods consultant can advise which is most appropriate for your needs and which timber flooring products are suitable for your chosen installation method.
Learn more:
Q: What is a glue-down or direct stick installation?
The glue down or direct stick timber flooring installation method involves adhering each timber board directly to the subfloor using wood flooring adhesive. It offers a stable, solid feel underfoot and is suitable for both residential and commercial spaces. It’s often recommended for areas with high foot traffic or for optimal acoustic performance.
All of Havwoods timber flooring products are suitable for glue down installation.
Havwoods offer timber flooring adhesive designed specifically to work with Havwoods timber flooring that you can purchase at the same time as your selected timber flooring product.
Q: What is a floating floor installation?
Floating floors are installed without being fixed directly to the subfloor. Instead, boards are connected to each other, typically using a click-lock system. This method is fast, cost-effective, and allows for easy removal or replacement of damaged boards, making it ideal for commercial or temporary applications.
Learn more:
Q: Will the installer remove my existing flooring?
Many installers offer removal of old flooring as part of their service, however it is best to confirm this upfront as there may be additional cost involved. The type of existing flooring and subfloor condition may affect installation method, time and cost.
Q: Do I need an acoustic underlay?
In many multi-residential or apartment projects, an acoustic underlay may be required to meet building codes or body corporate requirements. In many spaces, underlay can be helpful with sound reduction and comfort. Your Havwoods consultant and your installer can advise on suitable options for your specific project.
Havwoods offer underlays available to purchase with your timber flooring order.
