HANDKNIT PLANK FLOORING
HANDKNIT PLANK FLOORING
A gentle white finish allows the grain of the wood to peek through but bathes these planks in creamy softness.
The whitewash transforms knotholes and their fill to a lovely gray, giving the planks an understated visual texture. Inspired by the warmth and comfort of a handknit sweater, this floor’s character is as at home in a modern loft as in an old farmhouse.

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.
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.
