  • Floors and Ceilings

One of the wood boards used in the construction of a finish floor.

CONT

Replacing damaged floorboard. Cut the piece or pieces of new flooring to length to ensure a snug fit. It's a good idea to take the piece of floorboard you're replacing with you when you go to buy the new floorboard. This can serve as a template and will ensure that you get the right amount of flooring needed.
