Question 9

I am going to put this in a very dry basement in the gym area over concrete (new construction). A treadmill will be on it. I prefer to do a floating installation for ease of removal. However, will the treadmill cause a problem with that type of installation? What underlayment would be best for me to use? I am planning on a vapor barrier at least. View answer

Question 29

How is the waterproof cork flooring different than the traditional cork flooring feel-wise? We love the feel of cork and the idea of it being waterproof is appealing but does it take away from the natural feel? How thick is the waterproof coating or is it kind of soaked into the cork? I see that the traditional also has an acrylic layer on top. How is it different? View answer

Question 30

When looking at the website for this flooring, the Creme Weave in a couple of the pictures looks like beige and brown and the other picture with the flowers looks to be off white with gray? So which is it? And, no feature to see it loaded into a room? View answer

Question 31

If the cork flooring is truly waterproof why do you need a moisture barrier to install over a concrete basement floor? I would be concerned that I would be trapping moisture underneath the floor rather than letting it escape. This escaped moisture would then be sent out using a dehumidifier. I just want to make sure I'm not creating another health risk my trapping the moisture. View answer
