Solid Hardwood, Engineered and Laminate Flooring - Moving the piano onto the new wood floor

OK. So the floating, engineered longstrip is just about in place and I want to put the piano back so I can finish the last of the room.

Any tips on first lifting then rolling or sliding the piano back onto the floor.

Right now its on the sub floor, just 1/2" below the floating floor. It rests on its own steel wheels now.

I saw those "incredible as-seen-on-tv sliders" at Home Depot that advertise the ease of sliding heavy furniture across wood. My fear is leaving an indentation in the floor.

Once it's in place, it won't get moved again

Any ideas, do's, don'ts etc. would help. THANKS!

Indentions in a new floor would certainly be a worry to me also. Not sure how heavy your piano is but here is one thing you might try. Cut some 1/2 inch wood into 4 or 6 inch squares. Cut an indentation (hole) slightly smaller than the wheels on the piano.(so the wheels will sit into,but not through the holes). Get some scrap carpeting a little bigger than the wood pieces and place them face side down under the wood. Pull the piano to the edge of the new floor and align the wood/carpet pieces with the legs. Lift and place wheels into cutouts in wood. Push forward and do the same with the other legs. Slide the piano where you want it being careful to make sure the wood doesn't slide off the carpeting (could use an adhesive to prevent this).Have you decided what will be under those steel wheels at the final resting place? This was just a thought. I have slid refrigerators on tile floors using carpet and it slides well. The wood will distribute the weight more evenly to help prevent indentions. Good luck on your project and congrats on your new floor.

Hey, I like this! Thanks!

You are very welcome. Hope it works well for you.
