Its versatility and many benefits have made this wonder material a home owners flooring dream come true. It's strong, it's durable, it looks great, it insulates and is environment-friendly to boot. It can be used for glue down floors and well as cork floating flooring. You can opt for either one of these options depending on your specific need and existing floor condition. A floating cork floor can be installed above the existing concrete or wood floors that you have.
The prerequisite for installing glue-down tiles is that the floor has to be dry, dirt-free, grease-free, moisture-free, and crack-free and should have no wax layer on it. In short there should be nothing that can prove to be a hindrance to creating a strong bond. In contrast, a floating cork floor is not attached to the substrate. Instead, the individual planks are interlinked with adjacent ones and all the pieces function as one single unit. There are minimal signs of shrinkage and expansion that are the typicality of other wood products. Cork floating flooring is a quicker option to a glue-down variety.
It is very simple to install cork floating flooring. This kind of flooring is generally opted for by DIY homeowners. No special sub-floor is required and the one that is used for tiles works well for the cork floor as well. A tile, laminate, ceramic and vinyl flooring can be used as a substrate so long as there are minimal height variations in the floor. This floor is pre-finished thus making its installation a hassle-free one. You do not need to affix them with nails as they click together and create a whole floor.
