Cork Flooring Installation Tips
By FAF Staff Writer, (242 words) Posted in Cork Flooring on September 15, 2010
There are (6) comments permalink
Cork is a sustainable green flooring option that is resistant to scratches, mildew and mold and is naturally flame retardant. Another advantage is that it is highly sound and impact absorbent and an efficient thermal insulator. Many people choose to install cork flooring for its benefits.
The first step in installation is to open the boxes and expose the cork flooring for between 48 and 72 hours in the same room, to allow the planks to acclimate. Then prepare the sub–floor ensuring that it is totally clean, debris–free, level and perfectly dry. If necessary repair any cracks till the surface is absolutely smooth. Cork can be installed on most existing floors like wood, laminate or concrete. However the floor treatment will vary accordingly. A cork floor needs no underlayment other than a vapor barrier like a plastic sheet.
It is not too difficult to install a click-together floating cork floor but a few guidelines are worth remembering. While cork is suitable for most areas in the house, any unglued seams are bound to absorb moisture which will inevitably swell and warp the individual planks. So cork flooring in damp areas like bathrooms must be avoided.
Use the special tapping block supplied by the manufacturer to butt the planks together to make certain of an efficient and undamaged joint.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions if a polyurethane finish coat is recommended after installation. This will serve as an extra protective layer which will increase the operating life of the cork floor.

Thanks for sharinh. I didn't know that cork floor has so many advantages. In my opinion the big advantage of this type of floor is that it's resistant to mildew and mold.

Good post,
I am weighing out options for cork and laminate flooring. I've heard cork floors are easier to install and better for pets, so probably leaning on that.

I'm considering a cork floor in my kitchen. My kitchen is small, but I like the idea of cork for it's warmth and feeling under the feet. Any comments, nay or yay?

Bonding Hardwood Floors
By FAF Staff Writer, (272 words) Posted in Hardwood Flooring on November 23, 2010
There are (7) comments permalink
When bonding a hardwood floor, the first consideration must be the substrate floor and whether it is concrete, floorboards or asphalt and the condition it is in. Once the substrate has been prepared carefully either of the following adhesive systems can be utilized.
Full Surface Bonding
This method requires adhesive to be spread across the entire substrate floor using a notched trowel, forming a grooved pattern in the bond (rather like tile adhesive methods). This technique is suitable for all types of wood flooring. Work in small sections, as the wood needs to be put into place immediately. Recommended bonds SikaBond® T54, SikaBond® AT–84.
Bead Application
This system of bonding reduces the amount of adhesive required but can only be used with solid wood and engineered wood boards (not a suitable method for parquet). The adhesive is applied from a tube system using a glue gun in straight lines so that the beads of glue run at right angles to the direction you are laying the boards. This is a fast and effective method but again work in small sections, as the boards need to be in place within half an hour.
Remember that most adhesives have a minimum drying time ranging from 12 – 36 hours for the boards to bond securely. There are many products on the market to care for your wood flooring. Some care however must be taken to protect the wood, as some products are not suitable for wood floors and will damage, dull and coat the flooring. Be sure to ask refer to the manufacturer's recommended cleaning products.

Be careful to know what you are getting into, hardwood glue downs can be challenging. Mainly because it is time sensitive!You can't stand back and think about it for a few minutes. It is best for DIY's to stick to nail-downs.

Hardwood Floors offer natural durability. It also offer many colors, styles, finish, textures. Hardwood flooring not only looks wonderful but it can add value to your property and, indeed, make it a focal selling point.

Hardwood floors add a certain touch of style, warmth, and elegance to a home, which is why they’re among the best investments any homeowner, can make in order to improve his or her property value. Unlike many other types of flooring, hardwoods actually improve in both value and appearance as time goes by, and the older the floor becomes, the greater appeal it’s likely to have. The antique flooring will suit our house and the interior of our house. Thanks for sharing..

I think when bonding a hardwood floor the first consideration must be the substrate floor and whether it is concrete, floorboards or ashphalt.
