Cork flooring is becoming more popular than ever for all kinds of spaces as it helps people to save money and enjoy various other benefits. It is quick and easy to install and you can choose from a wide range of cork floor tiles such as floating, glued, or nailed. These various choices allow you to make the right decision depending upon your unique requirements. However, floating floors are always a way better option when compared to its counterparts or other flooring options. They can click and lock together, assisting in no mess installation whereas when one opts for adhered tiles, they need to make use of an adhesive to lock the tiles in place, which can turn out to be a little messy.

However, the shape of the subfloor that determines which tiles must be used, floating, or glue-down cork tiles. If your subfloor is cracked, in poor condition, unlevel and currently has old vinyl tiles or sheeting that is grimy or filthy, then you must opt for Floating Cork Flooring as it is a highly recommended option. This is because using floating floors over poor subfloors avoids costly subfloor repairs, so you save a significant amount of money, time, and effort. However, if there’s a risk of moisture migration, make sure you install a moisture barrier first before you install the floating cork floor, especially for places like Kitchen Flooring.

Floating cork flooring is not nailed or glued to a concrete or plywood subfloor; however, it sits on top of your subfloor. As no nailing or gluing is required, it takes less time to install and can be easily placed on a slightly inconsistent floor. Normal tiles, on the other hand, have to be glued or nailed down, which takes a significant amount of time and you will also need to repair the inconsistencies in the floor before normal tiles are laid down. If done otherwise, the inconsistencies will be easily visible, taking away the look and feel of your tiles.

Listed below are some major benefits of installing floating cork flooring.

1. As compared to its counterparts, you enjoy a great level of comfort when installing floating cork flooring.

2. It can also be installed over radiant heat, however, keep in mind that the surface temperature must not exceed over 82 degrees.

3. You can install the flooring over wood, laminates, vinyl and tiles subfloor.

5. When using these tiles or flooring option, do leave an expansion gap around the perimeter of the room.

6. As it is not baked or rigid, it is far more comfortable underfoot, a benefit that one doesn’t enjoy with traditional flooring options.
