Prepping to install SPC over a Red Oak Hardwood Floor
Hello, friends! I plan on laying down SPC over a hardwood floor. American Red Oak, to be specific. I bought this place last year and the floors had not been cared for very well. I am in the military and plan on keeping it as a rental when I retire. The floor creaks a bit. It’s 5/8inch hardwood. Should I screw the hardwood to the subfloor wo prevent creaking once the SPC is installed? I live in NC and it gets quite humid here in the summertime. Also, I noticed in your videos that you always have the baseboards removed when you begin to work…if I go with the floating option, could I remove the quarter rounds and leave the baseboards? Thanks!

Hey Joe,
I originally signed up for the basic subscription for Laminate University. The one that does not come with a blueprint. After doing a deep dive of all of your videos on the site, I would like to upgrade so that I can get a blueprint. It was an extra hundred as I remember. Totally worth it. How do I do that? I didn’t see an option to upgrade on the website.
Thanks,
Steve
