W...We took possession of our new home in April/08. We have tigerwood by Mirage - Every single room creaks and cracks (not squeaks)with very step taken. An annoyance everyone said would go away in time. Well it hasn't. Turns out that the Home Warranty inspector claims that the two support beams were raised too high causing too much variance in levelness. Thus the improper subfloor and installation are the cause. He claims that if left in its current condition the floor boards will work loose from the sub-floor. Very disappointing in a new home. P.S. I dislike when everyone always says squeaks - no, my floor does not squeak it creaks and cracks, many times on its own. Hope this helps - perhaps having someone with experience and knowledge inspect your floor and subfloor to insure requirements for Mirage flooring are met - otherwise your warranty could be void as mine currently is. (I'm fortunate Home Warranty has insured me the proper repairs will be done.) SueSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14949851630933704555noreply@blogger.com
