Answer This Question

A:  Thanks for your question. Underlayments give the planks too much cushion and allow too much movement and this will cause gapping.

    A:  We used underlayment with this flooring, over concrete, and it has held up beautifully for over 12 years. We are about to do the same in our new house.

            Q:There is a drop in my floor of about 3/4" over a 3' space. Can I use these planks directly onto the tiles or do I need to do something more to the floor. It is too big of an area to "level" the floor

            A:  Thank you for your question- The subfloor surface must be smooth, flat, dry, clean and solid. Subfloors should be flat within a tolerance of 1/4" (6 mm) over 10' (3.05 m). Subfloors should not slope more than 1" (2.5 cm) per 6' (1.8 m) in any direction. Rises or voids must be sanded or filled with a cementitious leveling/patching compound.

              Answer This Question

              A:  Thank you for your question- If the adhesive strips are pulling up, you can use super glue. Just a small bead down the strip, use a hand roller and roll the seam. Be sure not to get any of the glue on the bottom of the planks, as this will attach the planks to the floor, and it won't be able to expand and contract as a unit.

                A:  Thanks for your question. It really is best to remove the sticky substance completely but if you can't, the way to fix it will depend on your subfloor. If you have plywood, an additional layer or plywood or luan is the way to cover it. If you have concrete, you can use the 6 mil poly sheeting.
