Installation Tips for Hardwood Remnants
Whether you're handling the installation yourself or preparing a job site for a client, understanding how to install hardwood remnants correctly is key to a successful project. The installation method depends on the type of hardwood you're working with - solid or engineered - and the condition of the subfloor.
Tools You'll Need
Before starting, make sure you have the right tools on hand. For most hardwood installs, you'll need a flooring nailer or stapler, tape measure, spacers, saw, mallet, and possibly adhesive depending on your method. For a complete checklist, see our tools for flooring installation.
Solid Hardwood Installation Basics
Solid hardwood is typically installed using a nail-down or staple-down method. This works best over plywood subfloors. Planks are attached directly to the subfloor using a flooring nailer, ensuring a firm hold and long-lasting results. Be sure to leave proper expansion gaps around the perimeter of the room, especially in environments with seasonal humidity changes.
Engineered Hardwood Installation Options
Engineered hardwood offers more installation flexibility. Depending on the product, you may be able to use a floating method (where planks click together and float over an underlayment), glue-down application for a permanent bond, or even staple installation similar to solid hardwood. Always check the manufacturer's specifications to choose the best method for your specific remnant.
Who Buys Hardwood Remnants?
Hardwood remnants are a smart solution for a wide range of customers who want quality flooring without committing to a full-size order. These pieces are practical, cost-effective, and ideal for targeted upgrades or quick fixes.
A homeowner might pick up a few planks to patch damaged boards in a high-traffic area. Contractors often stop in to grab just enough material to complete a single-room renovation or repair. DIYers use remnants to upgrade spaces like hallways, entryways, or offices where only a small amount of flooring is needed. Landlords frequently rely on remnants to replace worn sections before listing a rental unit - saving time and money while keeping the property looking great.
No matter the project size, hardwood remnants offer a fast, affordable way to get the job done right.

Yes, but stair installations are more complex and often require precise cuts. We recommend consulting a professional for stair jobs.
How do I acclimate hardwood remnants before installation?
Let the wood sit in the installation room for 3 - 5 days to adjust to the environment. This helps prevent warping or gapping after install.
