What would you recommend, a power stapler or a power nailer to lay down 3/4" Oak flooring over 3/8" plywood screwed to 5/8" particle board? What do you think of hardwood flooring in the main entrance?
I would not install wood flooring at any entrance because of the abuse it gets from grit that comes in on our footwear. I used a power stapler on my hardwood and would do so again.
