Methods for laying cork floors
In order to start laying a cork floor, it is not necessary to carry out some specialized preliminary work. Just clear the upper surface.
To date, two ways to lay cork floors can be distinguished. First, we will consider how to lay glue. First of all, it is necessary to choose the appropriate glue, which will correspond to the tile itself and the base on which it will be glued. There are quite a lot of different adhesive compositions, so the choice will always help you make a department consultant.
In the adhesive method, the styling of the floor always begins with the center of the room. For the beginning it is better to completely lay the floor with tiles, then start glue them, starting with entire elements. The corresponding glue is applied both to the tile and to the floor surface itself. After the glue dries a little (more detailed information on this subject is indicated on the package), you can start gluing. It is important to glue several tiles along one guide, then along the perpendicular. It is important to ensure that there are no gaps between the tiles.
If all the tiles are pasted, then it is better to bring furniture into the room on the second day.
