How To Install Budget Cork Tiles - A Guide


 
Home Improvement
The material that makes up the cork is spongy, soft and has a high durability. This could be due to its descent from the bark of a tree. The cork glue down tiles avail one with the perfect alternative in the case they do not want the floating floors. They are available in a variety of colors; from the deep tones to lighter ones.

Cork flooring has undeniably been around for centuries. Nowadays, designers, architects as well as homeowners keep discovering new benefits. When it comes to the application of the cork glue down tiles, they can be used in practically any concrete or wooden subfloors. The surfaces should, however, be free of dirt, wax, grease or any other obstacle that might hinder a smooth bonding.

Qualities of the Cork Floors

In more advanced terms these cork floors are referred to as being hypoallergenic. This comes about due to its tissues consisting of 90% gaseous matter. It has an amazing insulation quality arising from its extremely low density. On application of pressure to the floor, its volume considerably reduces and on release expands rapidly to the original shape. It is this shock-absorbing property that makes it more comfortable for one to stand and walk on it.

Many manufacturers recommend that you clean the cork tiles for a period of approximately 3 to 4 days. It should be done just at room temperature and at the normal humidity levels. Preferably in the same room that the tiles will be laid. Always ensure that the instructions that the manufacturer outlines clearly on the same are considered by you. When it comes to the cork glue down tile there are some basic key considerations one should note.

1. When compared to the cork floating tiles, the cork glue down tile is much harder to install. The subfloor must be of a suitable material to accommodate it well. This can be plywood, concrete or cement.

2. Before the installation of the cork glue down tile, one must ensure that the subfloor must be completely leveled out. It should also be cleaned out.

3. Next a manufacturer acquired primer should be applied to the subfloor. Then one should wait until it totally dries out. Only after this can one begin to apply an adhesive and intricately lay down the cork glue down tiles accordingly. Ensure that the adhesive applied is one that is recommended. Work simultaneously on small areas while giving them enough time to dry out.

4. A step that is frequently overlooked by inexperienced first-timers is the use of spacers to demarcate an expansion space around the room’s border as well as on fixed objects. This may be such as kitchen islands or even pipes.

5. As one lays out the tiles ensure that pressure is equally applied around the tiles entire surface as it is put in place.

6. On completion, one has to level out the tiles through the use of a drum roller. In the case that an individual decides to install for them, it will cost more than employing the services of professionals. This is due to the workload being a lot.
