White Oak Herringbone in a Fifth Avenue Co-op

The problem

A full renovation of a Fifth Avenue co-op apartment on the Upper East Side called for about 1,400 square feet of new hardwood flooring, with sound control under the floor for the neighbors below.

Preparation

A soundproofing membrane was installed across the entire subfloor before a single piece of wood went down.

Materials and method

Solid unfinished white oak herringbone in 3 by 18 inch pieces, installed by full glue-down over the soundproofing membrane, then sanded, stained dark walnut, and finished on site with Bona Traffic HD.

The result

About 1,400 square feet of dark walnut herringbone across the apartment, with sound control built in underneath.
