I have oak floors. Nail heads come up, I push them down, and they

I won't even ask why they come up, but just how do I keep them from
doing it.
Pull them and put in larger nails (thicker, longer?)? Some sort of
glue? Move?


Brand new house, repurposed old boards, radiant heat below, nervous about
longer nails....right now I simply have a community hammer and everyone
knows what to do with it and nobody is allowed to go barefoot! Will try a
little glue in the hole. Thanks

The old-fashioned trick I've read about is to drive nails at an angle;
usually two on the end of a board are driven at slightly different
angles. Good if you know where the radiant heat is.
