What happens here

Once the gap is successfully closed and the plank is tightly in place, the installer uses a specialized pneumatic hardwood flooring nailer to secure the plank to the subfloor. The nailer, a Powernailer 245, drives cleats at an angle through the tongue of the plank, effectively hiding the fasteners and locking the plank in position.

Goal: Permanently fix the plank in place.

Tools and materials

  • Air Compressor — Providing compressed air to power the pneumatic flooring nailer
  • Hardwood Flooring Nailer Powernailer 245 — Driving fasteners through the tongue of the hardwood planks into the subfloor

Instead of trying to beat this in and close this gap, you can take a chisel, pound it in, pull it, close this gap.
