Let's talk flooring!
Konecto
Some time has passed since the discussion last Sept 2009 re Konecto. I wonder what experiences others have had. I have a job in a house trailer(Texas) and after a year, I am getting substantial shrinkage, mainly on the end joints. It was laid lengthwise, and the traffic is mostly lengthwise also.
Another job is in a nursing home, where we laid over very worn commercial carpet. My disributor rep, and Konecto rep both said they would "stand behind me"on the install. After 1 1/2 years the Konecto is creeping to the wall and buckling. All we can figure is that it's moving on the carpet nap(what was left of it). Also many seams are opening up. I feel the glue is failing. I too was given little tubes of "crazy glue" to repair it. When you try to open a seam, the lip just tears off. Any comments or suggestions out there?Pics attached.

Quote " Even the professional "troubleshooting" rep from Adleta, whom I purchased the flooring from, came to the job to instruct my installers on day 1. He believed the install would work also. Now they are all "crawfishing".
I would get my attorney to send out a letter of intent to suppoena everyone involved and especially the tech guy who thought it would work. And let them know they will be responsible for this floor for the rest of their lives.

I have to agree with Stephen.
The squeaky wheel gets the grease. -

"Existing resilient tile and sheet vinyl floors must be in good condition and thoroughly bonded to the structural floor...
The exception is that any tile or sheet that is of a soft cushion construction must be removed."
