DETAIL
First Dawn brings this feeling of warmth and renewal to your floors, washing soft brown and gray with a barely-there golden illumination. The gray grainlines and subtly darker striations in the wood bring visual complexity to this versatile, neutral floor.
WOOD
Wood subfloors that allow for nailing (at industry prescribed schedule) require at minimum; the use of a caulking gun (such as Wakol MS 265) adhesive bead, applied across the full width of the planks at intervals of 8-12” in addition to mechanical fastening. Full-spread wood flooring adhesive applied by trowel to the substrate surface is recommended and will provide the most optimal method of glue-assist.
INSTALLATION
-Flooring should be installed in the direction recommended by the Architect or Designer or parallel to the longest wall. -Expansion space of at least ½” is required around the perimeter of the installation in each room. -Installation using full-spread glue requires the of use appropriate surface weight to properly set the individual board into the adhesive. Adhesive transfer of 95% or more to the bottom of the plank is required and must retain contact with the adhesive and substrate once dry and cured. 5 gallon buckets filled with sand or water are most commonly used for this purpose. Depending on adhesive requirement weights can typically be redistributed after 20 minutes.
