floating wood floors Frequently Asked Questions
Engineered wood floating floor stapled & w/o expansion gaps. Are future problems likely?
We purchased an engineered wood floor and installation. The floor clics/snaps together and is specifically designed to be floated. After noticing a sticky/cruchy sound when walking on several areas and reading the manufacturer's literature closer, we realized the floor is stapled down and has no expansion gaps on the sides. The crunchy/sticky sound appears to be the floor being pushed down onto the tar paper when placing our body weight on our foot and when we lift the foot (i.e., placing our body weight on the other foot) the floor sounds like its raising up and the crunchy sticky sound we are hearing is the tar paper. The installers fixed the cunchy/sticky sound on one end by pulling the floor up and glueng it down. That part of the floor now feels and sounds fine but the cruchy/sticky sound has now moved to the area adjacent to the side that is glued down. Should I be worried about future problems such as buckling? Why or why not.
There isn't suppose to be tar paper under wood floors, to begin with, the purchased engineered wood is suppose to have a backing to do what the laid down tar papers does, if that is what you are describing. Being stapled down, I have to assume you laid the engineered floor over plywood substrate. The crunchy sounds might be the wood strips expanding and contracting along the interlocking edges, sawdust/dirt not completely removed when the flooring was put down, or tarpaper sticking as you describe.
Gluing the floor down will lead to problems over time, as the subfloor naturally expands and contracts due to temperature changes and aging, and the glued down areas restricts these movements, causing either the subfloor or the flooring, whichever is weaker, to crack, check, etc. Hope this helps.
Need to find out what type of cement mix to float a cement floor?
i cant afford to buy a self leveling mix so i was wondering what else i can use ? i m trying to install wood floors but the cement floor is all wacked out
thanks
Depends on how deep you need to pour. Ardex , you can pour to maybe a 1/4 inch and then feather finish. Your leveling compounds, some up to an 1 1/2 ' deep and to a feather finish ( 2 pours that deep) No other cement you can mix , since it ll have a sand base won t go to a feather finish and hold. Any questions you can e mail me thru my avatar and I ll help you. GL
