Question: We installed marmoleum click in our laundry room in 2018. Has the product changed since then? Ours has not been waterproof because if there is any water near a seam the core material starts to swell.
Answer: Per the Cinch Loc page, "There have been two major changes for the Marmoleum Click Line in 2023. Our best-selling non-toxic flooring just became a lot better. Forbo has re-invented their Marmoleum Click Cinch Loc line of floating planks and squares with a new waterproof core and a new Topshield Pro long-lasting surface finish. " It became so in 2023. So yours would not have been waterproof.

Question: I see conflicting information about the subfloor requirements for Cinch-Loc. Some comments say max 3/16 over 8' span, others (including Forbo) say 3/32 over 6' span. Also, will the Quiet Walk Plus compensate for 1/16th variation or 3/32 (or, what is considered "little subfloor imperfections")? Thanks.
Answer: We always suggest and follow what Forbo says in their installation guide : https://www.greenbuildingsupply.com/c... "Marmoleum Cinch LOC Seal can be installed on any clean, dry, structurally sound subfloor. The subfloor must be flat to within 3/32" in 6' (2.0mm in 2 meters). " It is best practice to go by the actual manufacturer words. According to the QuietWalk Plus installation : https://www.greenbuildingsupply.com/c..." . If the flooring manfuacturer does not specify requirements for flatness, your subfloor must be flat within 1/8" over 6' span, or 3/16" over a 10' span. All leveling, prep work, priming, etc must be done prior to installation of underlayment."
