A scientific technological breakthrough for flooring adhesives. Meta-Tec is a high solids, one-part reactive cross-linking Amide-Ester-Acrylate adhesive application for wood and other flooring materials. It forms a strong elastomeric bond that exhibits early wet-lay properties of quick initial grab "green strength."

Taylor 2071 is recommended for the installation of dry and foam back parquet, 3", 4", & 7" ply engineered plank, acrylic impreg-nated plank, long plank, shorts, pre-finished and unfinished solid wood (5/16", 1/2", 9/16" and 3/4") and bamboo.

1. Check for these conditions and if they exist correct them before delivering flooring: water or excess moisture underneath or in the house, green or wet subfloors or joists. Check for moisture retarder of 6 mil polyethylene over the earth in crawl spaces.
2. Plywood subfloor, or board subfloor and joists, should be clean, straight and thoroughly dry. Subfloor boards should be 6" wider or less, laid diagonally and spaced approximately 1/4" - 3/8" apart. Plywood subfloor panels should be spaced and nailed according to manufacturers recommendations.
3. Proper nailing of the subfloor and flooring is essential. Floors and/or subfloors not properly nailed may become loose, squeak and buckle. Gluing plywood to joists with an approved construction adhesive strengthens the subfloor and helps maintain a quiet subfloor system.
4. Subfloors with 3/4" strip flooring use either kiln-dried boards of #1 or #2 Common Pine or other dense Group 1 Softwoods suitable for subfloors over wood joists, or exterior plywood. If plywood, 5/8" or 3/4" performance rated products are preferred. Also 3/4" OSB is a comparable substrate. With 1/2" thick strip flooring use a 3/4" subfloor. Nailing flooring strips 8" to 10" apart is the preferred nailing schedule. Flooring strips should contain a minimum of 2 nails. Nail all pieces within 1" - 3" of the ends.
5. Insulate over heating plant & un-insulated heat ducts. Use a double layer of 15 lb. or a single layer of 30 lb. asphalt felt or building paper; or 1/2" standard insulation board between joists. Over a heating plant the insulation should be non-flammable.
6. Provide adequate expansion space next to all verticle surfaces, otherwise buckled floors may result.

CLEAR OAK - Flooring that is mostly heartwood with a minimum number of character marks and discoloration, providing a uniform appearance while allowing for all heartwood natural color variations.
SELECT OAK - Flooring that displays coloration variations produc- ed by different natural heartwood and sapwood with slight imper-fections in milling such as, two flag worm holes to every 8', torn grain and brown streaks less than the length of the piece of flooring.
#1 COMMON OAK - Flooring that contains prominent variations in coloration and varying characters such as, flag worm holes, heavy streaks, checks, and an occasional dark machine burn across the face not exceeding 1/2" wide, 1/16" deep and not more than 3'.
#2 COMMON OAK - Flooring that contains sound natural variations of forest product and manufacturing imperfections. This floring is used when character marks and contrasting appearance is desired such as, checks and worm holes, very heavy brown streaks, and dark machine burn across the face not exceeding 3/64" deep.

1-1/4' SHORTS OAK - Pieces 9" to 18" long are bundled together and designated as 1-1/4' shorts. Pieces graded #1 Common, Select and Clear are bundled together and designated as #1 Common & Better. Pieces graded #2 Common are bundled separately and designated as such. Although pieces 6" under and only 3" over the nominal length of the bundle may be included, although the pieces must average 1-1/4', which is achieved through the natural pre-ponderance of longer lengths.
