Bostitch Hardwood
Can I use a finish stapler to install engineered hardwood floors?
I am installing about 1000sf of engineered hardwood flooring, and I would like to use the Bostitch SB-150SX finish stapler that I already own to fasten the flooring. Has anyone attempted using a finish stapler (as opposed to a flooring stapler) to install flooring? Am I making a mistake?
Yes you can, depending on the thickness. 1/2" thickness max. 1 1/2" long, 3/16 crown staple every 4 to 6 inches and no more than 2 inches from the end. I have two of these staplers and have laid 1000's of sq. ft. without a problem. Lay the flooring pependicular to the floor joists and you should be fine.
