Adhesive, finish, transitions and stairs. Match each part to the material and installation you’ve chosen.
Choose supplies for the specified system, rather than treating every cork product the same.
Match the adhesive to cork, the substrate and the application. A floor bond and a vertical wall installation may need different products.
Before you chooseUse the installation guide and the adhesive manufacturer’s current technical data. Do not substitute a general adhesive based only on the word cork.
Choose a compatible finish only when your cork product requires it. Factory-finished and site-finished products have different instructions.
Before you chooseConfirm whether the floor needs a site-applied finish. Follow the product’s coat count, preparation and curing requirements.
Plan doorways, edges and changes in floor height before installation. Choose the right profile and coordinate the material.
Before you chooseA T-molding, reducer and end cap serve different situations. Check actual levels, required expansion gaps and product dimensions.
Resolve the stair edge as part of the whole tread installation. Confirm the profile and dimensions for your specific stair.
Before you chooseConfirm fit and installation with your installer. Check whether the chosen nosing is made to order and review its delivery and return terms before buying.
Compare the system first. Then check the selected product.

|---|---|---|---|
| Adhesive | Material + substrate + application | Coverage & application method | Working time & curing |
| Finish | Cork product + surface treatment | Coverage × required coats | Compatibility & cure time |

Supplies form part of an installation system. Confirm compatibility and quantities with the product instructions or a iCorkfloor specialist before ordering.
Use the instructions for your chosen material and assembly.
Floating click-lock floors and glue-down tiles install differently. Select supplies from the instructions for your exact floor; do not glue a floating system unless its manufacturer specifies that method.
Check the selected product. Some floors arrive factory-finished, while some glue-down systems need a specified site-applied finish.
Measure the doorway, floor levels and edge condition. Then choose the matching profile, length and fixing method while preserving the specified expansion space.
Use the chosen product’s coverage and instructions. Account for substrate, application method, coat count and waste; the room area alone is not a complete quantity specification.
Review the chosen product’s current lead time and the returns policy before ordering. Confirm measurements and compatibility for made-to-order pieces.

Plan the adhesive, finish and trim with your selected floor or wall system. Use the pack coverage and current US price shown for each item; do not treat an adhesive quantity as interchangeable with finish coverage. Check temperature and storage requirements before scheduling delivery.

Forna glue down cork tiles will require the correct adhesive, Wakol D3540 Cork Adhesive to be used as the bonding agent between the subfloor and our cork floor. (3M 30NF Green Fastbond Contact Adhesive can be used as an alternative but may not bring as good results. Be sure to acquire enough adhesive to cover the square footage of intended space. Our glue down floors also require 2 coats of water-based polyurethane (Loba 2K Supra AT) after installation to seal and protect. Failure to adhere to these requirements can void warranty.
When it comes to LONG lasting adhesive and cork, you need to work with a water-based contact cement. We sell Wakol D3540 Cork adhesive. It will lay 170–180 square feet of cork flooring/wall tiles.
If you cannot source the Wakol D3540 cork adhesive locally, then the next best thing is to purchase from iCork FLoor. The other option with the BEST GRAB is: 3M 30NF Green Fastbond Contact Cement adhesive.
Germany’s Loba 2K Supra AT floor finish is only finish that can compliment the elasticity of cork. Glue down cork tiles are extremely flexible which means they require a finish that will move and flex in the same manner. Forna has investigated and experimented with several finishes over the years and deemed the Loba finish as the one that works best with our cork floors. We have also tried other formulations – without much success. If you want the best results then take our recommendations to heart.
When installing cork on walls, we still recommend they receive 1-2 coats of Loba 2K Supra AT polyurethane to seal the seams and prevent shrinkage. Like all wood products, cork can shrink. By applying the 1-2 coats after the tiles are installed, the shrinkage is mitigated to “zero” or none.
