Cork flooring tiles are manufactured in 12-inch squares and so are mounted on the sub-surface with flooring adhesive. They can be installed directly onto concrete slabs or higher 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 should be clean, dry, smooth and level. The following information provides some typical steps involved with 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 adjust to underneath
* Make sure the concrete is clean, dry, smooth and level just before beginning the installationNote: using a smooth sub-surface is vital for glued-down tiles ? the shape of imperfections inside concrete or loose debris forgotten will be seen and felt inside the finished surface
* Apply sub-floor primer to the concrete which has a roller and allow to dry just before applying adhesive
Preparation for installation on wood or hardboard:
* Repair any uneven areas
* Check moisture content in the sub-floor according to the manufacturer?s recommendations
* If sub-flooring is over a crawlspace, cover the bottom 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 allow tiles to match underneath
* As with concrete, ensure that the sub-floor is level, clean and most significantly, smooth in order to avoid any irregular shape transfer through the cork
* Apply sub-floor primer having a roller and enable to dry prior to applying adhesive
Acclimation:
* Most manufacturers recommend acclimating cork tiles for 2-3 days, at normal-living temperature and humidity levels, and in the room the location where the tiles will be installed
Note: reference your flooring manufacturer?s documentation for specific details
* Apply the recommended adhesive to the sub-floor having a roller, doing work in small areas during a period, and permit it to dry
Installation of tiles:
* Since cork has natural variations in shade and pattern, sort from the boxes and select tiles which will provide the best overall look
* Using spacers, leave an expansion space around the border from the room and around any fixed objects, like pipes and kitchen islands
Note: make reference to your manufacturer?s instructions since expansion space recommendations can vary 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 are in place, and ahead of applying sealer, roll your entire floor according on the manufacturer?s recommendations
* Allow the adhesive to dry completely before walking on the floor
Note: the typical recommendation is 24 hours, but this might vary according to climatic conditions
* Clean the finished floor using a polyurethane cleaner then seal it having a urethane sealer, as recommended with the manufacturer
