This document discusses different types of wooden flooring, including hardwood, engineered wood, laminate, and fabricated wood flooring. It describes the materials, installation process involving tongue and groove joints, tools used, and maintenance of wooden floors. The key types are hardwood made from single timber pieces, engineered wood made from layers of real wood, and laminate flooring made to look like wood but is more durable and easier to install than hardwood. Proper preparation, tools, and maintenance are required to install and care for wooden flooring.

 The wooden floor is bound to flex in case of unevenness of surface.
Therefore, the floor must be leveled before placing the wooden
planks.
 Disconnect and remove all electronic equipments including
televisions, stereos and computers. Remove all electrical wires
running under carpets and door cases.
 The flooring pieces have to be trimmed at the end of almost every
row.
 Similar cuts have to made at door frames. So, the blades of the saw
being used must be sharpened to avoid chipping of the floor.
