Question 5

The installation guide recommends a glue-down installation in high-moisture situations and areas that get direct sunlight. I'm hoping to install this in a kitchen with a skylight, however there's already a glue down cork floor in the room (solid, fairly level, but surface is beyond repair). Can I install this cork floor as a glue-down on top of the existing cork floor? Or is it ok to float? If yes to gluing, what adhesive is best? Thanks! View answer

Question 15

Is the Cork Look Identity Grafite considered a "warm" or "cool" color? I have the sample box and still can't tell for sure. It seems to be both: with a grey-brown and then a warm beige in the little "holes". Maybe that makes it a "neutral" color? How would any of you rate that color: warm, cool, or neutral? View answer

I'm interested in the Amorin product, but I've read the cleaning instructions and it seems like a lot of work to restore the floor to it's natural state if it gets dull. Is it really such a task or does the floor take a long time to reach a dull state? Also, I would be installing this product on a porch that is not temperature controlled. Will this product hold up?

Question 26

I have noticed that the wood look uses rPET or recycled polyethylene terephthalate from water bottles as the top coat. Does the rPET leach out and/or outgas the heavy mental antimony that is used in the manufacturing of PET. Antimony is a heavy metal that is a suspected carcinogen. Since PET in general is considered a one time use plastic that when heated or scratched can possibility release this heavy metal. Since this is a top coat in the cork wood grain product, which has high scratch resistance and I assume no issues with heat, is there any possibility of Antimony being released into the air and/or leaching? Thanks! View answer

Question 42

Our goal is to have a floor that has good cushioning, insulation, soundproofing and can hold up to furniture and foot traffic (2nd floor bedroom, office, playroom). I'm torn between Cork or Marmoleum.I'd like your opinion on the durability of the Go-cork plank product. Indenting, fading and non-waterproof seem to be the main marks against it. Can you interpret these numbers? From what I can see on this website, the Cork has IIC 58, STC 54, r-value: ? compared to Marmoleum IIC57, ASTM E 492, STC ?, r-value 0.53.Am I to understand that marmoleum plank has almost similar properties to Cork plank?
