The answer to this question depends on the condition and type of vinyl. If the vinyl flooring is thin, does not have a thick cushion, and is well secured to the subfloor, you may be able to float flooring over it. In some situations, you may alternatively be able to nail/staple a wood floor over it, as long as the wood subfloor is sound. Talk with our installation department or your contractor to determine the best solution for your space.

This depends on the type of wood floor you have, how it is finished, and how deep the scratches are in the top layer. For minor scratches in you should be able to order touch-up products from the store/contractor from whom you purchased your flooring.

Using a humidifier during the heating months may help reduce the amount of gapping in solid wood floors. To minimize gapping we recommend selecting one of our engineered flooring lines. Engineered wood floors are much more dimensionally stable than solid wood floors and will show little or no gaps between planks. Talk with your authorized Garrison dealer or contractor to determine the best solution for your specific environment.

We recommended felt pads for use under chair legs and other furniture. These pads come in various shapes and sizes and are available at most furniture and discount stores. Some just stick on the bottom of the legs and others need to be nailed on. Follow the directions provided with the pads, and never hit the pads directly with a hammer. Check and clean the pads often to prevent debris, dirt, and small particles from being trapped in the pad, which may cause scratches in the wood flooring’s finish.

We recommend the use of GooGone or AR2000 adhesive remover made by Trinity Hardwood. Both should be available at your local hardware or discount store. As with any chemical, always test first by applying a small amount in an out of the way area.
