5. Can cork flooring be installed in the basement.

Some wine cellars are built in the basement, and if yours is, it is alright to install cork flooring in it. It is recommended, though, that you install cork floating floors in basements. Because of the risk of moisture migration from the concrete slab, floating floors should be placed over a moisture barrier of 6 mil film polyethylene. You may glue down the cork tiles in your basement, but you need to first place a moisture barrier over the concrete slab, and on top of this barrier install a plywood sub floor. Glue the cork tiles on to the sub floor.

6. Is the color of all the wine cellar cork flooring consistent?

Cork, like wood, is a natural product. One common characteristic of natural products is their shade variations. The inconsistency of shades does not make cork flooring less attractive. In fact, this is one of the characteristics that makes it interestingly beautiful.

7. Can wine cellar cork flooring be dyed or stained with specific colors? Can they be stenciled?

Cork flooring can be stained with any color. But it is important to remember that only cork floors that do not have a surface finish on them can be color stained. There are some cork tiles on the market that have a surface finish applied, like urethane or wax. It is recommended that you use a water based stain for your cork floor, and apply it evenly by using a soft cloth or a staining sponge. Also, allow the stain sufficient time to dry, then apply 3 coats of water based flooring urethane. Some people stencil their cork floors before they apply urethane. This can create beautiful and unique floor finishes.
