    When it comes to hardwood floors,it is always a huge project rather its for the flooring instraller or a home owner. However, the most common issue that tends to arise here is choosing the right glue for the job. This is what we are here for today, to help you find the best glue for hardwood floors. Something you might be wondering is what the best type of glue for hardwood floors is. The answer would be that urethane glue is best for hardwood floors.

Urethane adhesives are ideal for this task because they are great textured adhesives, ones that often remain very flexible, thus being suitable for applications that require the glue to move when pressure is applied, such as when one walks around on a floor.

Our overall pick for the best urethane glue for hardwood floors is Carmen's One Step Adhesive with low VOC.

How much glue you will need for hardwood floors will depend on one main factor, and this is how well the individual pieces of flooring fit together. In other words, it has to do with how thick the glue line needs to be.

If your sub-floor is very straight and level, and all of the wooden boards are cut to size well, the glue line may be as thin as 1/64th of an inch, or in other words, everything fits together well. If this is the case, a single gallon of wood glue may be enough to cover up to 100 square feet of surface area.
