Comments about Lisbon Cork Lamego Cork:
I'm not sure about the other people who commented about this floor. My floor turned out great. I installed it myself, and took my time to make sure the cuts were right on.
I did have about 15% waste even though I tried to use every scrap. The only bad part is that you can only use certain sides of a scrap piece.
I put it throughout my home and did not use a transition for the thresholds of the rooms. It looks amazing without the break in tresholds. Again, I took my time and made sure my cuts were exact and measured about 5 times before I made a cut. I squared up the beginning boards to fit the rooms.
You have to make sure you just let the boards click, and don't over hit them together. If you do, you'll get volcano like edges.
I laid about 900 square feet. The boards were all similar in color. They say that they are prefinished, but then in the instructions they recommend a few coats after, to fill in the seams. I put on some coats of water based polyurethane and it came out fine. I just wished that I used a better brand. I sprayed the finish on and it came out evenly. Take into account that I'm just a beginner and this was the first time that I've finished floors.
All in all, I've had a lot of comments from family and friends. They like the floors, and I'm proud to have put them in all by myself. It was easy, yet time consuming. But I did take my time and did it right. Also none of my boards have shifted. It looks like the day I put them in. But it's only been 5 months.

Beware of the color lots. We were two boxes short, the color difference from one side of the room to the next was drastic; one somewhat uniform, one patterned.

Comments about Lisbon Cork Lamego Cork:
This product looks great but it was a little annoying to install it kept bowing out. It also chips very easy. Even though we made sure every joint was close together before finishing the border it's only been a few weeks and some of the boards are separating. If you place any furniture on the flooring expect indentions and they don't come back up. So if you like to rearrange your furniture a lot not a good idea. Stains easy.

Great floor option if you don't mind taking your shoes off. I love the look and feel of it and it's easy to walk in. I used in my upper apartment over tenants for it's ability to absorb sound. It's easy to clean and is considered green. The air quality is excellent and it'll warm in the winter.

Comments about Lisbon Cork Lamego Cork:
This floor looked great for about 10 minutes. It is so fragile that painters tape will remove the finish - and the color is on the top only so then you have the lighter cork showing through. It's a shame because it is really pretty. I would absolutely remove this floor if I could- but I've paid for product, install and new baseboards and paint (not to mention living in the mess for weeks) so I'm just going to have to buy a lot of rugs. pity.
