Wayne Morrison, installer for The Hardwood Floor Store of Bollingbrook, Ill., installing 3/4” tongue and groove strip flooring.
Probably the most under appreciated "hero" of any hardwood flooring installation is the fastener. Buried beneath the floor surface, never to be seen or (hopefully) heard from again, the fastener plays a subordinate position in the hardwood flooring industry. And yet, from the contractor's viewpoint, fasteners have always been an intricate element of all wood flooring products that are suitable for a nail down application.
