Got questions? We’ve got the answers!

HOW SHOULD THE SURFACE BE PREPPED BEFORE APPLYING CORK ADHESIVE?

Before you begin installing cork, it’s crucial to make sure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease or dust. A well-prepared base ensures the adhesive bonds properly. If the surface is uneven, consider using a leveling compound for a smooth application. Proper prep work leads to better adhesion and a long-lasting finish.

HOW MUCH WAKOL D3540 CORK ADHESIVE DO YOU NEED PER SQUARE FOOT?

You'll need about 150 to 250 grams per square meter of Wakol D3540 cork adhesive. That translates to approximately 4 square meters per 0.8 kg container and around 12.5 square meters with a 2.5 kg pack.

WHAT MISTAKES SHOULD YOU AVOID WHEN APPLYING CORK ADHESIVE?

Avoid using too much adhesive—excess glue can cause the cork to shift and create bumps or uneven spots. It’s also important to stick with one type of adhesive rather than mixing different kinds, as this ensures even drying and durability. Additionally, always check that the surface is smooth, clean, and dry. If it’s dusty, a primer can help improve adhesion. Remember, proper prep work is the foundation for a strong bond!

One of the biggest benefits of cork adhesive is its incredible strength and long-term durability. Once the cork is in place, it stays put for years without shifting or peeling. This ensures your space maintains its elegant, natural look with minimal maintenance.

Planning to install cork on a wall? Make sure to use a flexible adhesive that accommodates natural expansion and contraction. For flooring, opt for a heavy-duty adhesive that can withstand daily wear and tear. While there are many types of contact adhesives available, it’s always best to use one specifically designed for cork. This choice saves time, prevents issues, and guarantees a secure, long-lasting bond. Cork adhesives are specially formulated for the material, ensuring the best possible results with less hassle.
