User questions & answers

Question:	How thick is this material
Answer:	Black with beige specks
Question:	Is this not a poly barrier? Description says Foil. What mil thickness
Answer:	That side is where the adhesive normally is on handlebar tape, its so that when you roll up your handlebars the foam will line up properly. Its the bottom side
Question:	Is this make in 10 ft width
Answer:	yes more than enough for one bike
Question:	Can this be used for with a radon mitigation system
Answer:	This is really more for grip, it is thin and offers a bit of cushion. If you're looking to make the metal bar a bit softer it will work. But if you want more cushion, I would suggest a thicker foam tape instead of cork.

User questions & answers

Question:	What tape should I use for the joints that don't already have the tape
Answer:	No formaldehyde. There is a polyurethane binder that keep the cork granules bonded together. Cork Underlayment is loved because it resists moisture and is hypoallergenic...in addition to made from sustainable cork trees, cork is a superior sound and thermal insulator. Even engineered floors feel more like hardwood floors when using cork underlayment.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this be used under Floating Vinyl Plank flooring
Answer:	I've been using Cinelli tape for about 30 years and every package has come with two short pieces for the levers and a pair of bar end caps.
Question:	Oh great! i see you’re the same seller for the other underlayment i asked about. would you recommend layering this one and the foil one ? or one
Answer:	Yes it has two rolls of tape plus the end caps and tapes to finish it up
Question:	Wanting to use this as a radiant barrier and an underlayment all in one..can this be done
Answer:	It has a strip of adhesive on the back side that is about 1/3 the width of the tape and is centered. This allows the tape to be wrapped in either direction. You want to overlap about 1/3 of the tape width with each wrap. You want the adhesive to go on the bar and not on the previous wrap. The adhesive is not super sticky - it allows the tape to be repositioned if you don't like where it's going as you wrap the bars. It is sticky enough to prevent the tape from sliding after you wrap it with some tension in the tape. The most tricky thing about this tape is to get it started at the bar end, the first wrap has to to be at a 90 degree angle to properly get seated under the bar plug, then you have to transition to an angled wrap quickly without making it bunch up. The tape has a lot of stretch to it. As you change direction, stretch it so one side will have more tension than the other. But you have to keep at least some tension through the whole width so it doesn't bunch up. One thing about this tape is that I never had to cut off excess at the end, you have to plan ahead as you wrap it to avoid excessive overlap, or else you will run out too soon. They provide a short piece to go behind each brake lever to avoid a gap in the wrap pattern. The Tape they provide to secure the end is OK, but it is not stretchy and it's hard to make it look good without getting crinkled up. I always put a couple wraps of black PVC electrical tape around the end first. You can stretch that real tight, to give it a neat appearance. The Cinelli tape can go over that. Do not use duct tape, it will leave a yucky residue on the bar.
Question:	Is this stuff tear resistant or reinforced? 6mil plastic isn’t tough enough and I’m not seeing whe
Answer:	Yes two rubber plugs

Product description

• Acts as a crack isolation membrane that resists transfer of stress cracks from subfloor through to flooring surfaces
• Reduces thermal transmission, increasing the effectiveness of floor heating systems
• Easy to install in both glue-down and loose-lay configurations

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it smell chemicals?/ Thanks
Answer:	It depends on what type of floor you are laying. For floating floors such as click laminate or hardwood, it does not need to be glued. Tape the seams with duct tape and lay your floor. If you are glueing down hardwood, the cork needs to be glued to the subfloor.
Question:	Can i lay this on top of a hard wood floor and then put padding and carpeting over it to soundproof my floor to make it quiet for my neighbor below
Answer:	You can use either. Cork will transmit less noise. If the laminate is floating, you don't have to glue down the cork, just tape the seems. If you are gluing down the laminate, you would have to glue down the cork first. In either case, the 1/4" plywood would be stapled down with a pneumatic stapler (or screwed, but that is a lot of work). Staples every 4-5" in the body of the plywood, every 2" around the edge. This is assuming that you have a plywood subfloor, not concrete.
Question:	Would this help dampen the sound of a treadmill? I live in a 2nd floor apartment
Answer:	Cork is an outstanding insulator and can be used under the radiant heat elements - typically on concrete. I have radiant heat floors in the bathrooms. I did not use cork underlayment however because I live in Florida and did not have to concern my self too much with the time to heat a floor. I did talk with the manufactuer (Warm Touch) and they suggested underlayment (like Cork) under radiant heat if you are in climates where it gets cold. It allows the floor to heat quicker and reduce heat losses into the subflooring. I used this product under all my wood floors - it is awesome. Cork is a sustainable product, moisture resistant and bugs do not like it.
Question:	We will be installing strand bamboo over our concrete slab. Is this cork underlayment all we need or should we install a moisture barrier too
Answer:	It's 4 ft x 50 ft

User questions & answers

Question:	What else is needed for installing tyvek protec underlayment
Answer:	Yes, it will work to protect your wood from water but I believe I remember reading it is not to be used as a vapor wrap. The recommendation is to double up on low pitch roof so keep that in mind. Also, if you get moisture trapped behind it, it might be bad so the wood needs to be dry. You affix with plastic head nails. No glue.
Question:	Cuanto mide el rollo
Answer:	Yes, our product will work just fine in this application.
Question:	can this be used with concrete tile
Answer:	Yes this would seal exterior wood. I have used it on wood slab benches outside and it’s incredibly slick to walk on when wet. Epoxy is more for boat trim not for sealing docks. You’d be better off with an oil. Plywood bubbles in direct sun when it has moisture in it. Trex it if able.
Question:	Is this product waterproof
Answer:	Absolutely. Thats how its supposed to be

Answer:	I am not sure I used it with tile. I don't why not?? The carpet would not be moving so the advanta Green would stay in place??? I am sorry I do not know more..Linda
Question:	What is the thickness
Answer:	too thin. Maybe 1/16"
Question:	Can insulayment be doubled up under ceramic tile

Question:	I want to use this to create a pond 1 foot deep, how big will the pond be
Answer:	The sauce spilled out on one dish and it looked ruined. I put it in the sink and used soap and a sponge then put it outside to dry. It's fine now. I don't think I would put it in the machine because the insulation might be compromised.
