Cocobolo Flooring in Beautiful Bellingham Home
Before any good installation is started, prep of existing home components is a must. This installation will be over radiant heat. The wood 2×4′s have had paint and dirt spilled over them.
Process: We must sand the 2×4′s to ensure a good glue bond. The 2×4′s are loose and will be re-screwed to the sub-floor. A stable 3/4″ plywood is installed over the “sleeper” 2×4′s.
