Installation of Corkcomfort Floors over Heated Subfloors:
Any Heated Subfloor has certain working conditions depending on the heating system and the subfloor. In order to avoid problems with functioning and durability during the construction phase, the norms and rules concerning installation are to be followed very strictly.
The drying of a heated subfloor has to be made by turning the heating on/off with a pause before installation of the floor, following a documented protocol. After that you can begin the “heating phase”. The beginning of the heating phase in concrete subfloors is to be made not before 21 days after complete curing of the substrate. The heating phase has to begin with running temperature of 25ºC, (78ºF) during 3 days.
The subfloor should be in place and cured for at least 60-90 days. The temperature should then be increased each day until the maximum temperature allowed according to the manufacturer system. This maximum value should be kept for at least 72 hours and maintained for 5-7 days without any turning off. The decreasing of temperature is made by reducing it each day until 18ºC on the surface is achieved. During the installation, the temperature of the surface should not exceed 18ºC (65ºF) and should be kept for 3 days after finishing the installation (for floating floors). Then the temperature should be increased slowly to a max. of 28ºC (82ºF) on the subfloor surface.
