ECO-FRIENDLY FLOORING—
Yes, you can still have beautiful hardwood flooring without affecting the environment. The two sources for these floors are Cork & Bamboo.
These products regrow from the same plant after harvesting, therefore, these materials are renewable and not damaging the eco-system.
Bamboo is twice are hard as oak wood. It's very durable and can handle a lot of foot traffic, active kids, and pets.
Available in an assortment of different colors and is finished with a high-quality coating to keep the floor looking new for decades!
Cork has very good insulating abilities, as well as being very durable and resilient.
Mounting Mechanisms → a proper sub-floor is necessary for effective mounting. It must be a flat surface to decrease instability and warping.
There are 3 main ways to mount your floor~ Gluing, Nailing/Stapling, or Floating
Glue~ Before installation, it's important that you choose the right glue based on the sub-floor to be mounted on.
A suggestion for a good glue is a water-proof adhesive. This reduces moisture vapor transmission, and has good bonding strength and flexibility.
Glue is generally used to mount onto concrete floors and rarely used on Solid wood flooring, mostly for engineered flooring.
Fortunately, adhesives are no longer toxic and mostly eco-friendly. The 3 main adhesives are water-based, urethane based, and acrylic.
Nails/Staples~ A nail/staple gun uses air-pressure from a connected compressor to force the nails/staples into the floor.
Nails may loosen over time if they don't have a grip on a proper sub-floor. Also, staples may secure the floor too tight which can create a squeaky floor.
Float~ It is the quickest installation process of all. A floating floor isn't nailed down, rather it's either glued or snapped together.
Which this procedure, you can mount a floor on any material such as, concrete, sheet vinyl, ceramic tile, and plywood.
The best choice of wood for this process is engineered since it is very stable.
Types of Molding:
Quarter Round~ used to blend the wall base and the flooring. Also good for around cabinets.
Stair Nosing~ used to blend the step of a staircase with the floor.
Reducer~ used to transition from one surface to another one. i.e. hardwood to carpet
Threshold~ used in doorways to transition the different floors in each room.
Base Shoe~ same as the quarter round, but it's used in limited spaces.
Baseboard~ a thin piece of wood that is glued up against the wall and is flush with the floor.
