Mullican Caramel Nature Installation

Mullican Caramel Nature Installation — modern flooring photography

Q: I’m looking at your Maple Caramel Nature 3″ by Mullican. I want to do a floating installation. Other than an underlayment, is there anything else (materials wise) that I would need to buy?

A: This is dependent on where you intend to install. If you are installing over a concrete subfloor you MUST use a moisture barrier (usually 6 mil poly) and don’t forget to use a seam tape to seal the seams of the vapor barrier. If you plan to do this install yourself, you’ll want to get some tools such as spacers, a tapping block, pull bar, etc. Beyond that, Once you have your floor and underlayment (which I suggest cork as always because its the best stuff out there) you will be all set to go.
Also you will want to get an adhesive for the joints, since this is not a click-together wood floor. Kahrs’ Landobond or Cal Flor’s Eurobond is a good example of an adhesive for this purpose.
