What happens here
The video introduces the fundamental components of a hardwood floor system: the subfloor, a vapor barrier (like roofing felt), and the hardwood planks themselves. It highlights the tongue and groove design of hardwood boards, explaining how the tongue of one board fits into the groove of the next to create a secure, interlocking connection.
Goal: Familiarize yourself with hardwood flooring components and their connection mechanism.

- Hardwood Planks — The primary flooring material with tongue and groove edges
- Subfloor — The base layer on which hardwood flooring is installed
