The Solid Timber Flooring Industry Standard provides a reference guide for the installation of solid timber strip flooring over bearers and joists, timber based sheet flooring products and concrete slabs. Floors of this type fit together with a tongue and groove joint and unless they are a prefinished product, after the flooring is in place the floor is then sanded and finished. Also included is parquetry flooring made up of short timber pieces that are adhered to an appropriate subfloor. When installing solid timber flooring many aspects must be considered and this includes assessing the house design, the environment in which the floor is to be laid and the desired appearance of the finished floor.

Such aspects influence the choice of species, the cover width of strip flooring, and the fixings and finish to be applied to uncoated flooring. Information relating to product selection, assessing the installation environment, floor installation, sanding and finishing are provided in the standard together with additional information of importance that is to the floor installer, sander and finisher.
