Welcome to a whole new season of Building Resilience, a show about whole-house solutions for extreme climate, healthy homes, and sustainability.

In today’s episode, we’re going into the basement of a castle that is being renovated to install some durable engineered flooring over a concrete slab.
The first step in the process is flattening out the humps in the floor, which is done with a diamond blade grinder and a big fan.

They lay the floor in sections, since it is such a big basement. Small rooms are done in one shot and the larger rooms are done section by section. The first step is cleaning up the floor of old glue globs, sweeping the dust, and vacuuming up.

Now we can get down to business and spill some glue. They usually spread enough for a couple of courses, so they don't step in in, so it doesn't skin over, and so it stays relatively clean of debris.

The flooring boards are tongue and groove, so when laying new planks, the main consideration is getting the tongue into the groove for a tight fit.

The primary method for tightening the fit is to whack it with a mallet.

As with any other piece of wood, for the last piece, you can measure or scribe, and scribing is always faster and more accurate.

One thing you can see in this shot is that the flooring does not necessarily want to sit in the glue, which is why later you’ll see them weigh down the flooring after they finish a section.

And this section of flooring butts into the brick wall whereas other sections slip into undercuts in the wall like this.

The undercut allows a little wiggle room for fitting while still achieving a really great finished look, but it doesn’t remove all complications.
