| I just had engineered wood floors installed (glued down over cork) as part of my kitchen remodel. I think the installers did a pretty sloppy job as I noted in my original post.
My main question is, how much creeking is okay? It is certainly not excessive, but here and there. I just don't know what to expect with a glue-down application. I've had one disappointment after another throughout the entire project and I'm getting burned out with the contractors doing sloppy work. The floors were installed by a separate company and not through my GC. My kitchen cabs are scheduled to go in soon, and will be placed ontop of the floors so of course I want to address any issues asap. I'm really just not sure what is reasonable to expect. Thank you!!! |

| Can you live with it? Is it a reasonable complaint? If the answer to 1st question is NO and 2nd question is YES, then I'd bring it up with them. I'm dealing with a poor GC now so I'm in the same boat with you. But if something's not to your liking, speak up while they can do something about it. |

| Hi berardmr! Thanks! And I am so sorry for what you are going through with your contractor too. I saw your post re: your floors. You have very legit concerns. Could I live with this (a few creeks)? Yes, I guess I could. I really just didn't know if creeking was normal with glue-down. I do have some other concerns about the way they "fixed" the individual pieces that had issues, and the fact that they even used boards that were defective so I will be talking with my sales person today. Good luck with your project! I hope your issues get resolved quickly and the work can move ahead! I understand how frustrating it is!! |

| You might check in the flooring forum, but as I understand it, creeking is a result of the joists, what's under the floor, not the floor itself. |
