Talked to 2 different installers. One will use t-moulding at doorways, the other said don't need it, just run the clic floating floor from hallways straight through to next room. That don't sound right to me because when I ordered the flooring, the store owner looked at the floor plan and ordered enough t-molds to account for the doorways.

Also the condo board said I have to use cork underlay on concrete before they allow installation of floating floor. I know some underlay have moisture barrier for use on concrete. So cork is ok to use for this installation?

Thanks.

For a floating floor install I would use a T stripe to seperate the 2 rooms so each room can move independently from each other.

Yep, the "T" moldings are required to maintain the manufacturers warranty. If the installer doesn't want to use them, ask him to sign a warranty, that if the flooring separates or gets locked in at the doorjambs, he will be responsible. I bet he changes his tune.


You need a moisture barrier under the cork, it is not a moisture barrier.

I would use Taylors moisture blocker and their cork adhesive, to install the cork. Then float the planks over the gluedown cork.
