Advantages and technology for laying cork tiles
Camping tiles are a natural material that is made from a cork oak bark. Cork oak bark has a unique combination of properties. The traffic jam does not accumulate static electricity, elastic, strong, moisture resistant, not susceptible to decay processes and is a popular floor covering due to their qualities such as durability and unpretentiousness in cleaning. In order to lay cork tiles, it is necessary to first perform a black floor of plywood or wood -fiber plates (chipboard, OSB). Laying cork tiles on an unprepared, uneven surface significantly reduces the service life of the floor.
The color of cork tiles can be either natural or multi -colored. Thanks to multi -colored tiles, you can create a beautiful pattern.
Before laying the tile, it should be left in the acclimatization room for a day, so it will become more elastic.
In order to lay cork tiles, you must first find the center of the room. It is from it that the location of the tile should be outlined. If you plan to create a pattern using tiles, then you first need to lay it out dry. Then starting from the corner, the mastic should be applied to the floor, but so that it does not advance on it. Lay the first tiles carefully and evenly, because it is the whole styling in the future that depends on its location. Tiles should be placed near each other, following the joints coincide. To make the coating better, go along it with a rolling pin. After the work is over, wipe with a rag of excess mastic.
If you put not sealed tiles, then it should be sealing. Hermetization of cork tiles is best performed before laying it.
