No, its definitely called NAFCO. Its a tarkett product. On the price sheet from my distributor it also says permastone. I think that may just be the product line. They recommend Qbond for this product. I have no issues following the specs on this one and appreciate the input. I am curious as to how you strike a line down the length of a room with a pencil though. Wouldnt it be easier with a chalk line?
Your right! Nafco! My bad, lol Yeah it would be easier to strike a chalk line. My husband does but he also puts a dark pencil line ware he will start first row of tiles to see it through the glue, Just to start off. Then once first row of tiles are started, it all goes pretty good. Its Just So you have a line squared to start with. I don't know what rm your doing? Kitchen, dining, bath rm i dont know what kind of floor you are going over if its a concrete or wood subfloor is it going over a vinyl floor?? I don't know all the details of what you are facing. But their is factors you will need to do over and on certain floors it's going on. But going over vinyl on a wood floor we put a whole new subfloor dn. with luan first and we make sure its level then we skim coated seams of the luan subfloor and level as needed. He squares to cabinets so he don't have a sliver of a piece to put in under the toe kick of cabinet. or you can square to walls! Which ever square ing would be easier for you.
But once you glue the whole area of floor ware you want this installed you CAN NOT walk on glue even if its dry. You can not start from center of room like regular tile. You have to start from outside of room and work your way in. Otherwise you will contaminate the glue thus leaving dust particles that will cause glue not to stick. believe me you don't want that!
Im sorry I wasn't very detailed. We have this in our house and we love it so far. It's only been since last September. Its so easy to work with and so easy to clean i love it! We did not grout ours.
We have installed it in other homes with and without the grout, Some people prefer the grouted look. It Looks nice either way.
Before anything make sure sub floor is level and up to the standards the directions on the box says. Also the tile has grout lines on two side only, so you will have to make sure all the tiles are going the same direction. Other wise it won't look good.
Sorry! Lol hope this helps, I think you can do this. It isn't that hard. Just don't try to cut corners on the leveling and the sub floor and glue, and you will do fine. And you will love it.
If I can do it and I am a 48 year old woman, than I know you can. Lol we have been doing flooring for 20 years.
Have fun show us pictures when your done.
