Question 2

I have a project that needs to meet Indoor Airplus for DOE Certification, and the carpet pad needs to meet CRI Green Label testing. I don't see this listed as meeting that requirement, but it seems like it should based on the description. Do you know if it does or can the manufacturer provide a certified letter? View answer

Question 3

Hello, I am installing a click-lock engineered hardwood flooring on top of an existing wood floor. The manufacturer recommended underlayment is a 2-in-1 foam underlayment, max 1/8" thick. A vapor barrier is important here as the level directly below is the cellar (not heated) and there is no subfloor below the existing floor. Do you recommend MP Global, QuietWalk Plus for this situation? Thank you! View answer

Question 27

I am building a small kit home on Helical piles in MO. There will be 2 inch pine tongue and groove flooring directly over the joists with no vapour barrier or insulation. The joists and skids are rough sawn hemlock. Would the Vermont Natural Coatings, Exterior, Penetrating Water Proofer be a good product to coat the underside of the 2" flooring, the joists, and the skids with? The skids will only contact the brackets of the helical piles and not come in contact with the ground at all. There should be air flow and limited if any sun exposure. I am concerned with preventing moisture buildup, mold, etc.... and not having to reapply a product later on because that would be extremely difficult to access. View answer

I have MCS and we are having no-VOC cabinets fabricated for our laundry room, which will be painted using AFM Safecoat. Should the PureBond plywood and solid wood be primed before painting with Safecoat? Would semi-gloss be best for laundry room cabinets?

Question 46

Loving this product so far. However, I'm confused on what's the best protocol for sanding. I've heard that before applying oils/sealers, it's best to sand a little, as it 'roughs up' the surface a bit to allow for better oil penetration. Is this true? Also, on the official "Technical Information and Application" PDF for this product, it states "For best absorbency, all surfaces should be sanded NO FINER than #100". But this leaves the surface fairly rough - can I not sand it more finely, creating a smoother wood surface? Thanks a bunch! View answer

Question 47

The installation guide indicates the countertop will expand and contract, possibly up to 1/2 inch. Does that mean we should leave a gap between the edge of the countertop and a rigid structure such as a fixed wall? For a 36"x72" slab, would it expand in both directions equally or might it be less in say the long direction vs the short? Would the 1.5" thickness be prone to significant expansion as well?
