Cutting corners on site is all too common of quite a few installers. While sometimes you may luck out, this most often means quite a few troubles in the future. One such problem is the lack of enough nails. While nails themselves aren´t expensive, proper nailing is time consuming, so many fitters tend to do a skimpy work and nail every second or third floor block. The thing is you won´t even notice until it´s too late, i.e. your floor has gotten damaged, because nails penetrate deep into the wood and out of sight. Nailing is not always mandatory, depending on the wood, subfloor, local conditions like humidity, average temperatures etc., but if your floor needs them, they are of crucial importance. What happens most often if you floor hasn´t been properly nailed? Floor blocks get loose with time and start making noises when walked on. This is the first sign of the impendinf need of floor repair and you better not ignore it, because you may end up with your floor blocks deformed beyonf repair.
