DETAIL
The natural color of the wood is visible beneath the gray wash, creating a hue that is best described as “greige.” The result is a wonderful neutral floor that is both peaceful and eye-catching.
SURFACE
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.
MANUFACTURING PROCESS
- Product must be made in the USA
- Hot glue process for engineered structure
- Multi-point individual board press laminating process
SOLID WOOD FLOORING
- Moisture content should be in the 6-9% range
- Milling tolerance must meet or exceed NWFA Standards
- Relief grooves 3/8” deep, every ¾” across the bottom of the planks

DETAIL
-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. -Depending on subfloor conditions and nature of the adhesive the use of shims may be required to ensure flush edge and end joint configuration.
SUBFLOOR REQUIREMENT
-Subfloor must be flat. Level and flat to within 3/16” in 10’. Check with your installer with regard to specific requirements that intended underlayment and/or adhesives may require that are different than this specification. -Floor must have all loose debris, paint, drywall material or other material removed that may impact appropriate adhesion of the flooring material to the substrate structure.
-Concrete substrates must be dry. Dryness of substrate must be measured and documented (photographed), and dated using appropriate testing methods. Relative Humidity testing (ASTM F2170) must not exceed 75%. Calcium Chloride testing (ASTM F1869) must not exceed 3lbs of moisture emission per 1000sf over a 24 hour period. -Wood subfloors are not to exceed 12% and should be within 2% of the moisture content of the flooring material prior to starting installation, when sampled using an appropriate resistance (pin-type) meter.
