Telluride fooring installation evokes town's rugged beauty By Ron Treister T elluride. You hear the name. But what comes to mind? Originally a mining town, Telluride widely is thought of as an all-season resort. It's well-known that the Telluride Ski Resort is the region's main attraction during winter months. But when summer comes around, Telluride transforms itself into an outdoor recreation hot spot, with thousands of tourists mountain biking, hiking, river rafting, sightseeing, and more. In the summer, there are flm festivals, wine festivals and music festivals almost every weekend. It's a good place to enjoy life, whether you are full-time or part-time resident. And it's good place to invest in a world-class condominium project. More specifcally, a two-unit luxury condomini- um project, slated to be built on the top foor of an existing, classic Telluride building. The structure's top foor never really was devel- oped – until now. Architectural designs specifed the best of the best building materials. And these included 5-inch, 6-inch and 7-inch wide, solid oak ¾-inch planks to be installed in the living room, kitchen, hallway and master bedroom of both units. Not surprisingly, high-quality Bostik installation materials were insisted upon for this project. "This was a world-class project, which called for world-class construction products," says James M. Allred, territory sales manager for Bostik's Consumer and Construction Division. "Anytime when working with wood, whether it is solid or engineered, a major concern is moisture intrusion coming either from the ground (in this case from the concrete slab) or from the atmosphere." Allred says that's why its Greenforce wood fooring adhesive was an obvious choice. The adhesive not only offers the unsurpassed strength of urethane, but it's easy to clean and install, and controls moisture vapor. Greenforce also has been formulated with Bostik's exclusive Axios Tri-Linking Technology, which means the wood fooring always will be installed at optimal levels. AXIOS technology combines the tenacious bond strength of Bostik's high-performance urethane chemistry with the remarkable ease of use experienced from today's most advanced European, hybrid polymer systems. With moisture vapor protection equivalent to that of premium moisture mitigation coatings, it offers the ultimate installation pro- tection and simplicity. When combined with Bostik's No. 39 pat- ent-pending Thickness Control Spacer Technology, its performance is equivalent to that of cork's sound dampening properties.
