JELINEK CORK:
Cork Mosaic Flooring Installation Instructions



Jelinek Cork Mosaic installation is similar to typical ceramic or mosaic tile installation using the glue then grout method. The existing substrate should be clean, including complete removal of vinyl tiles, old adhesives, loose or weak concrete, dirt, debris, and any other contaminant that may impact the bonding
of the Cork Mosaic.



Step 1: Evenly spread Jelinek Cork adhesive across the prepared substrate. The substrate should be a clean surface, free from any debris.
  
 

Step 2: Carefully place each Jelinek Cork Mosaic sheet next to one another. Jelinek Cork Mosaic can be cut and shaped with a sharp utility knife.

Step 3: If staining the tiles, do so now.

Step 4: Apply two coats of polyurethane to the tiles.
 
 
Step 5: Evenly distribute an unsanded grout product with a high quality rubber trowel, making certain all joints are being completely filled. The finished joints should be uniformly smooth, without any voids or low spots.
  
 
Step 6: After the grout has been cleaned, finish the installation of the Jelinek Cork Mosaic by evenly applying two additional coats of polyurethane.
 
Some color variation may occur among individual tiles due to the natural qualities of cork. The color of the tile can also be altered depending on the type of finish applied.

We are extremely pleased with the cork we purchased from Cork Innovations. We had never seen the cork in person and were pleasantly surprised by the quality and appearance of the product. The cork is comfortable, but we'd recommend an additional cork underlayment for added comfort. This was an ambitous DIY project by our standards, but was surprisingly simple. Importanly, the personal service and guidance was superior to any other retailer with whom we have worked. Thanks to Cork Innovations--not only the best service, but was also the lowest price!
