flooring installation

Installing cork floors is simple but there are several things to consider in order to fully achieve successful, long lasting results. Be sure to understand all installation instructions before commencing. Contact us for technical assistance if unsure of installation procedures.Wood as a natural material distinguishes itself with special physical and elastic-mechanical characteristics which altogether demands special caution when choosing the material for a quality hardwood flooring installation. The market offers adhesives for parquets and ready estrich, estrich adhesives, self levelling floor compounds and parquet varnishes with wood cement fillers and cleaning products which guarantee quality operations disregarding the type of the flooring.

Will your new flooring be installed over your existing floor covering, or do you want your existing floors or carpets removed before the new one is put in? Removal of old flooring or carpeting can be time consuming — and someone has to haul it away and dispose of it responsibly. Be sure to discuss the situation with your installer and assume that at least one day will be spent on removal, cleanup and preparation. This is usually accomplished by using sand paper. If any filler has come up with the tile, it will need to be repaired and sanded smooth just as in the installation steps described above. Once the area is clean, simply re-apply water based contact cement to the area and to the replacement tile, and once the adhesive is dry to the touch, press replacement tile firmly into place.
