Question 12

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

we have a large studio with concrete floor but do not want to cover the whole thing - more like a 12x16' foot area so wonder if there is a strategy for edging such that there is not a right angle lip? View answer

Question 16

Does this product have any odor? Also, we would be installing on a OSB subfloor above a sealed and conditioned crawl space, it seems the instructions say not to put down a vapor barrier if installing over wood. Would we need an underlayment and if so should it be breathable? Or is it best to install directly over the OSB subfloor? View answer

Question 17

Does Wicanders cork flooring require sealants after installation? View answer

Asked 3 ´years ago

Question 18

Great product from the description but being sensitive to chemicals, I find that the poly underlay needed for a basement gives off VOCs that bother me. I know they are covered by the floor but I have found the VOCs being a gas will migrate out along the perimeter. I don't want to seal the edges with a caulk as they can become moldy over time. Do you have a recommendation for a moisture barrier that would not pose VOC/odor problems from degassing? Also how safe are the top coats acrylic and PET for the cork and wood look, respectively?

What is the core of the waterproof cork and how do they make it waterproof? Being E1 certified, it seems like that means it is a wood core which means some natural formaldehyde (none added as per the ingredients sheet). View answer
