Question 14

Hi,Per the description above, 'This floor CAN NOT be floated . Installation: nail or glue into any environment with 35-55% relative humidity'. I read this article below 'Is bamboo flooring safer than hardwood for a desert environment?' which suggests a floating installation for dry climates. - My Question; Does this mean this product would not be suited for Arizona where we have low humidity all year round, and could not float this product per the specs. We would have to glue it to the cement. Thank you for your help! View answer

Question 15

I'm looking for a flooring solution for my short term rental (Airbnb) in Wyoming. This is my first winter in the house, and the humidity is constantly reading 24-26%. Although I'd love to offer the luxury of a hardwood floor, a floating Marmoleum floor seems to make the most sense for the dry air, traffic, cleaning, etc. Any experience with Marmoleum in the dry northern Rocky Mountain region? I'm also considering Kahrs engineered, but wood seems very risky. View answer

Question 16

Is Drybarrier an acceptable subfloor for this wood-like cork flooring material? If so, what underlayment would also be recommended? Planning to install in a concrete basement below grade. As of right now, moisture is no problem but we did have water infiltration one time after our sump pump malfunctioned (less than 1/8" water on the floor) so I'm trying to plan for the worst despite it not being the norm. Thank you! View answer

Question 17

I am building an outdoor dining table that will be under a large canopy on a patio so it won't be exposed to direct rain, snow or sun. The frame is heat-treated pallet lumber and the top is reclaimed lumber with some of the boards affected by dry rot (I'm chiseling out the dry rot).I'd like to use as natural products as possible for the finish. I will likely paint the frame / legs and I'll like to put a clear, satin finish on the top. A couple of specific questions:1. Do you sell or recommend any will filler for filling the larger dry rotted areas? 2. What do you recommend for a clear satin finish for the top? 3. What do you recommend for painting the frame and legs? Thank you very much! View answer

Question 30

I've a project with several slabs of raw live-edge Saman Acacia wood installed as kitchen counters, vanity top, and as a breakfast nook. The project is in the midwest (high humidity area) and need to ensure the finish is waterproof (around the undermount sink and in a bathroom) and does not require frequent maintenance. While a poly coating would likely be the best waterproofing option, we don't want to cover our raw wood with a plastic-looking coat and prefer to be able to spot refinish. We've had Bioshield #9 recommended to us but I wanted to see if AFM penetrating oil or AFM oil wax would be a better option in terms of waterproofing and longevity for my Saman Acacia? View answer

Good Afternoon, Mr. Goj, I want to paint the interior of a terracotta pot to seal it with the AFM Safecoat DynoSeal (dark color). After decoupaging the exterior of the pot, I want to seal it with the AFM Polyureseal EXT Satin (clear color). Is there a certain temperature range, they should be applied? And a level of humidity? I was going to apply indoors, if it was safe. it's been raining and a little cooler, outdoors. I purchased the samples, and will probably be buying the regular size at some point. I thank you so much for your time. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Blessed New Year. View answer
