HARDWOOD FLOOR INSTALLATION

Milburn Flooring’s wood floor division has been busy maintaining schools in Long Island, Queens, Brooklyn, Bronx, and Westchester.  From classrooms, auditorium stages, and gym floors, Milburn performs every aspect of wood floor installations. A complete wood floor replacement installation requires several steps beginning with rip-up which they follow strict OSHA guidelines while conducting. Milburn performs self-leveling and grinding services as a foundation to optimize the overall performance of the floor. Self-leveling and/or grinding concrete ensures a flat surface which is essential to building a level gymnasium floor. They offer custom sub-flooring options that create a level surface and provides even shock absorption eliminating dead spots. “Floating Floors” are primarily installed atop the concrete sub-floor with several layers that enhance performance including a moisture barrier, rubber padding, plywood, and hardwood. The term “Floating Floors” refers to a method of installation that is not permanently affixed to the concrete sub-floor or hard surface which allows for expansion. Milburn highly recommends Floating Floor systems because of the temperature and humidity changes inherent of Long Island and the tri-state area. So far this year Milburn’s team tackled 25 new gymnasium installations. A typical gym floor replacement takes 3-4 weeks. Newfield High School, Huntington High School, Unity Drive, Bayshore YMCA, and JFK Middle School are just a few of the gym floors that Milburn Flooring completed this year. Aside from all the gymnasium work in school buildings, these services were applied to other areas, specifically auditorium stages and classrooms. Hardwood was installed in 7 classrooms where a full replacement was needed due to flood damage. RENU’s restoration team was on site to assist with the remediation and removal while Milburn replaced the floor. Although classrooms are rare for hardwood systems it was essential here to preserve a historical look consistent with the rest of the building. Milburn is accustomed to handling unique requests or specific needs and always approaches each job with a fresh perspective to provide quality service. All employees are OSHA safety certified and strive to make every worksite safe not only for job site workers but also for the occupants of the buildings. They are experts at working in occupied spaces and can foresee and mitigate any potential issues from their decades of experience.
