A hardwood floor does not have the same finish as a piece of wooden furniture. Hardwood adds warmth and beauty and value to your home, and you need to understand how natural wood acts so you know what to expect. Doug Robinson, of Certified Carpet Distributors, Inc. (distributors of carpet, hardwood, ceramic, and vinyl flooring materials) explains how gapping may occur in dry weather, and cupping in humid weather, and why it is important to maintain a consistent level of heat and humidity in your home to minimize the natural expansion and shrinking of wood.

Question by mtsd5468: Is the black/tar paper required under hardwood floor?
I am helping to install a hardwood floor into my neighbor’s house. I have done two similar floors before this one. In both of those cases, I used the black paper between the sub-floor and the hardwood. I hand stapled the paper down and than installed the floor using staples with the air powered hardwood floor machine. Both of those floors came out well and I am very satisfied.

My neighbor purchased the wood for his project at Lumber Liquidators. He was told that “since he is putting a wood pattern into the floor” he should not use the black paper.” The pattern is just a border about 1 foot in from the wall using a darker wood.

I thought the black paper was installed to prevent squeaking between the floor and the sub-floor.

So should we use the black paper or not????

What would happen if we do not install the paper?

Cost savings is not an issue. We are not being wasteful, just don”t want to cheap out on an important item.

THANKS A WHOLE LOT.

Answer by rob s
Either a felt tar paper like you used or a rosin paper. Some wood manufactures spec one or the other or either. This is 2 fold for the usage.1 is to help prevent squeaks from wood to wood contact and the other as a moisture barrier.
