Earthscape


I am wondering if Earthscape is easy to install myself. Also, if Earthscape is durable enough for dogs, furniture moving, etc?

Re: Earthscape


Having installed a few thousand yards of it myself, I would say yes you can do it yourself, using the template approach. Just be forwarned, the material is quite heavy, (probably 2-3x as heavy as a normal felt back), and 13'2" wide, so getting it home may be interesting, in you don't have a pick up or van. If you do decide to do this yourself, feel free to ask questions or ask for installation tips here, we will be happy to help (that's why we're here!).

Re: Earthscape


Do you plan on adhering or loose laying?

Re: Earthscape


Is Earthscape similar to or the same as Flexitec? I have posted questions about Flexitec and have gotten only 1 response.

yes.

It is a loose laid floor. It can be adhered with a PSA adhesive. It is very 'heavy' and quite soft. Few have have any problems with the overall performance of this floor if properly installed and maintained.
