After the glue has dried, use a wood filler to fill any gaps, choosing a filler or putty that will match the
wood species of the medallion and surrounding wood flooring. Once the medallion has been installed,
and all gaps filled, sand the medallion with the surrounding floor using the same procedures as you
would on other hardwood floors. Finish the medallion and floor in the same fashion that you would any
hardwood floor. Consult the NWFA Installation, Sanding and Finishing guidelines and make sure you
follow them.
Caring for your medallion and wood floor properly is important for optimal performance. Follow NWFA
guidelines for maintenance, as well as the guidelines of the finish manufacturer.
Remember, wood is a natural product that will react to its environment, including changes in
temperature and relative humidity, and exposure to sunlight, among other things. If brought into a
space during winter months, slight separation may occur. It is recommended that this medallion be
installed by a professional who has experience doing such work. Our medallions are constructed using a
5/16” thick solid hardwood on top of ½” plywood. They can be installed into any ¾” thick wood floor,
on-, above-, and below-grade. Installation over radiant heat is not recommended.
