Installation & Care
 INSTALLATION
PURE RENDITION
A nail-down application makes Eterna floors easy to install. With prefinished wood floors, you can say goodbye to dust and unpleasant odors.

Eterna hardwood flooring must be installed on main floors and above. Not for basement floors.
INGENUITY PLUS

WHERE ?
Faster to install than traditional hardwood floors, Ingenuity floors can be installed in any room in your home - including basement rooms.

HOW ?
Use the method that’s most appropriate for your home:

  • Nailed or stapled onto a wood sub-floor.
  • Glued directly on concrete -- even over radiant-heated concrete, cork or an approved acoustic membrane. (Use Eterna Ingenuity Sealer and Eterna Ingenuity Lock adhesive for optimal installation.)
  • Float: On main floors and above.*

*Floating installations are not recommended nor guaranteed if installed below grade.

MAINTENANCE
humidity control

Humidity is wood’s worst enemy. To protect your floors, maintain humidity levels between 35% and 55% for Pure Rendition Collection floors, and between 35% and 65% for IngenuityPLUS Collection floors.

regular control

Maintain your floor with the Eterna Floor-Care cleaner kit — nothing could be easier!

TOUCH-UPS

If your floor needs minor repairs, Eterna Touch-Up kits provide the matching stain felt, fill stick and action valve marker.
