Cork flooring tiles are made in 12-inch squares and they are mounted towards the sub-surface with flooring adhesive. They can be installed directly onto concrete slabs or older secure wood sub-flooring. Some flooring manufacturers recommend hardboard for glue-down installations, so be sure you follow your manufacturer?s advice.
Regardless from the sub-surface, the preparation requirements are identical. The sub-surface has to be clean, dry, smooth and level. The following information provides some typical steps included in sub-surface preparation of concrete slabs and wood sub-flooring.
Preparation for installation on concrete:
* Patch any cracks or holes per your flooring manufacturer?s recommendations
* Check the concrete for moisture content
Note: test methods vary; follow your manufacturer?s recommendation
* Cut the bottom of door frames enough to allow for tiles to fit underneath
* Make sure the concrete is clean, dry, smooth and level ahead of beginning the installationNote: creating a smooth sub-surface is essential for glued-down tiles ? the shape of imperfections inside concrete or loose debris left out will be seen and felt inside the finished surface
* Apply sub-floor primer on the concrete with a roller and invite to dry ahead of applying adhesive
Preparation for installation on wood or hardboard:
* Repair any uneven areas
* Check moisture content of the sub-floor according towards the manufacturer?s recommendations
* If sub-flooring has ended a crawlspace, cover the soil below the sub-floor with polyethylene sheeting
Note: most manufacturers recommend 6-mil sheets overlapped and taped together
* Cut the bottom of door frames enough to permit tiles to suit underneath
* As with concrete, make sure the sub-floor is level, clean and above all, smooth to prevent any irregular shape transfer over the cork
* Apply sub-floor primer with a roller and allow to dry ahead of applying adhesive
Acclimation:
* Most manufacturers recommend acclimating cork tiles for 2-3 days, at normal-living temperature and humidity levels, and inside room in which the tiles will likely be installed
Note: reference your flooring manufacturer?s documentation for specific details
* Apply the recommended adhesive for the sub-floor using a roller, doing work in small areas during a period, and invite it to dry
Installation of tiles:
* Since cork has natural variations in shade and pattern, sort with the boxes and select tiles that may provide the best overall look
* Using spacers, leave an expansion space around the border with the room and around any fixed objects, like pipes and kitchen islands
Note: make reference to your manufacturer?s instructions since expansion space recommendations may differ from 1/4 in. to 1/2 in.
* Apply pressure equally through the surface of each tile because it is laid in place
* After all tiles have been in place, and before applying sealer, roll your entire floor according towards the manufacturer?s recommendations
* Allow the adhesive to dry completely before walking flooring Peabody MA around the floor
Note: the typical recommendation is a day, but this may vary determined by climatic conditions
* Clean the finished floor which has a polyurethane cleaner then seal it using a urethane sealer, as recommended through the manufacturer
Always follow your flooring manufacturer?s recommendations as well as the end result will probably be a beautiful new cork floor which you?ll be proud to show off for many years.
