Flooring

Archive for the ‘Cork Flooring’ Category

We are building a new house in the country. The living room, dining room, and kitchen are one open area. Which Flooring product would be the best for this area. The laundry room is through a door off of the dining room and will probably have a tile floor. This is a second home.

I’ve see some upper end homes with incredibly beautiful laminate floors. Others with real hardwood. I think overall for quality, hardwood is the best. Have you ever considered bamboo, amazingly tough also.

The MACK Group, LLC, a premier concrete surface preparation, floor covering removal and asbestos contractor, recently completed the removal of a cork and rubberized gym floor for a private commercial client. The project was completed in the State of New Jersey.

The client selected the Mack Group, LLC (MACK) based on their impeccable safety record, their attention to schedule and project specifications as well as their economical approach to flooring removal services.

MACK was contracted to remove over five thousand (5,000) square feet of a cork and rubberized gym floor. The client wanted to have the gym floor removed so that a new gym floor could be installed. 

The project had several requirements that MACK had to address.  The work needed to be completed with minimal dust generation. While removing the floor covering the subsurface floor could not be damaged.  In addition, the work had to be completed within a tight budget and time schedule.

In order to meet the project demands, MACK utilized one of their special floor covering removal machines from their fleet of concrete resurfacing floor covering removal and grinding machines.  These machines are equipped with HEPA filtration units which produced virtually no dust during operations.  The machines are also very efficient in removing floor covering materials including ceramic tile, epoxy coatings and gym floors.

Skilled technicians utilized the floor covering removal machine to remove the gym floor.  The floor scraping machine allowed MACK to easily resurface the floor tile in a dust free environment without damaging the existing subfloor.  All removed materials were properly transported and disposed at an approved landfill.

The project was completed on schedule and without incident or injury.

We recently installed a lisbon cork floor in our kitchen and dining room. The directions stated to coat the floor with a water based polyurethane…no buffing or sanding required. Our floor is now shiny in some areas and dull in others…very blotchy to it’s appearance. Does anyone know how to fix this? I think we may have applied the polyurethane too thick in some areas. Any advice would really help. Thanks in advance.

It’s not a big problem. Lightly sand the whole floor, and give it a second coat. That will even it out.
