which is a better flooring option for a below grade basement - laminate, cork, or carpet?

Environmentalists fear that if all wineries adopt screwcaps, the cork forests in Europe will be developed, but if the cork industry just better promotes cork FLOORING (a great environmental product), shouldn't that be enough to offset losing the stopper market? Forest concerns notwithstanding, cork DOES fail as a stopper by allowing cork taint to ruin up to 20% of all wine produced annually. Wineries could even help promote this, not least by using cork flooring (perhaps outside of production areas) themselves. cattdaddy: What am I asking? I'm not sure what you are saying. Is it good to have cork in forests? I haven't asked or declared anything about such a concept. What does that have to do with my question? Forgive me, but you really seem uneducated about current wine trends. Plumpjack costs over $100 and uses a screwcap and has for years. Even traditional *gasp* French appellations and using more Stelvin screwcaps. Environmentalists have made the wine corks an issue, if you don't think it's an issue, tell them that, not me. This is their assertion that screwcaps will lead to less need of growing cork oaks, thus leading to cutting of forests in favor of more lucrative real estate deals: http://www.ajc.com/business/content/business/stories/2007/08/28/Corks_0829.html (The above is an AP article by Sarah Skidmore available on many websites.) As far as recycling cork, where can I do that where I live? Where I live we DO recycle aluminum (the material in the screwcap) David, 15% may be the high end of the anecdotal claims (from the wine industry itself, not me). However, you also appear to be mistaken. I read alot of wine periodicals and I've never once read a winemaker state they were switching to screwcaps because of a lack of cork!!! Show me your contrary evidence, please, I would love to see it. The only reason winemakers are even daring to try to overcome the silly romance of corks in the marketplace is because screwcaps do not permit the wine to be tainted by the compounds cork allows to taint wines: http://www.winepros.org/wine101/vincyc-tca.htm "Damage to the wine industry annually from Cork Taint is estimated to be $10-billion worldwide." And just logically ... if there was a cork shortage, but winemakers were moving toscrewcaps, why would environmentalists be protesting this move?? Currently wine stoppers are the most important part of the cork trade. If a shortage were real, it would be for other uses, such as flooring.

Help removing cork tiles? I am currently removing old cork tiles from the floor of my house. They are stuck down to the cement and as I'm chiselling them up I'm being left with a lot of glue residue with fragments of the cork too. Any tips on easy removal of the old tiles, but more importantly removing the glue? We are replacing them with new ceramic floor tiles. I was thinking maybe a heat gun and a scraper to clean it up but Dad has suggested a grinder! Any experiences with fast and easy removal of residue? I've still got a room of cork to remove so if there's a better way than hammer and chisel I'd love to hear about it!
