If a dog pees on the floor or some other large quantity of liquid spills (especially if you are not able to clean it up right away) would you have to pull up planks to clean it?

Question 10

2 questions: 1. What exactly is the HRT protective surface on the Amorim wise cork tiles? I saw acrylic coating referenced below so is it basically water based poly? How many coats appx? 2. Is there anything I can do to prevent water intrusion/dirt buildup in the cracks between the tiles (other than hire a good installer)? Considering glue down installation to help in this regard. Also saw some other folks have used some kind of adhesive between the tiles on the click lock edges to help them stick/prevent peeling or separation. Any recommendations from you folks/manufacturer? Thank you! View answer

Question 33

(Not really a question?) Sample boxes vs colors seen on computer: I have heard on this site and many others that the colors do not match the Website. This is usually used as a criticism. The color discrepancy comes from the settings on your computer and the Website. Those two will never match. Every computer is different when it comes to color. Also, you are dealing with light on your computer. It will always make colors and other items look different than in real life. THIS is why it is SO important to get the the boxes of samples; so you can see what the product REALLY looks like. Three cheers for GBS for providing the SAMPLES in a box. View answer

Question 35

I love, love, love this waterproof cork. Unfortunately someone dropped something really sharp on it and there is a tiny gouge in the surface--not even a divot, just a tiny bit of the surface was shaved off. What's the best product or method for repairing this? Color is Fashionable Grafite. If it were dark black I'd use a Sharpie, but this is a dark, soft gray. View answer

Is the Cork Look Identity Grafite considered a "warm" or "cool" color? I have the sample box and still can't tell for sure.

Question 42

I want in my bathroom but am hesitant due to the chance of water seeping into seems and getting moldy or warping the material, esp since it is a layered veneer.

Question 48

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
