Hello,
I'm intalling some 4" x .75" plank flooring in purple heart and was wondering if anyone know where I can find counterbore plugs for the screw holes. I've been scouring the internet and unable to come up with a source. -Chung |

Jeff,
What I (my contr) did was screw down 1/2" plwood over the existing 3/4"? or 7/8"? sub-floor then used a sander to knock off & level the joints. After that they used a grout to fill in a few low spots. The trowel adhesive was trowled over the plywood as the floor (wood) was being installed. As the tongue & groove flooring was installed they had a big F-hammer type thingie that pushed the boards together. Nailing was done about every 8" into the tongue/goove joint. Forgot to say, after the first rough sanding they again trowled filler (walnut color) into any open cracks/grooves then finished sanding. Big guys with arms & shoulders like apes. It took them (3) days to lay down about 1200 sq ft. of flooring. Tom |
