Don’t Choose Patterned Carpet from Small Samples

Floors are big purchases. Before you commit to a patterned carpet, make sure you see that carpet in a larger space. You can find room scenes online or directly on the sample board itself.
Radiant Heat Mats Can Ruin Floors
Просмотров 4421 день назад
Electric heat mats are great products, but be careful where you use them. Don’t void your floating floor warranty and damage your planks. Trust your vinyl plank or laminate manufacturer ONLY-not the electric heat mat company. Crucially, the heat mat company won’t cover you if the floor fails.

Просмотров 482 месяца назад
A main visual difference between hardwood floors and luxury vinyl is the irritating pattern repeat noticeable in larger rooms. PureGrain from Engineered Floors solves this problem by digitally printing patterns directly on the vinyl. With 35 pattern variations, the finished vinyl floor looks more like real hardwood.
Installing Cabinets Could “Explode” Your Floors

Install flooring AFTER cabinets-never break this rule. Pinning down cabinets on top of hardwood and luxury vinyl floors is a recipe for disaster and will lead to a failed installation.

When to Choose Tile and Stone Looks in Luxury Vinyl
Просмотров 1113 месяца назад
It’s hard to coordinate wood-look floors between two adjacent rooms (a problem often found in older homes with a separate kitchen and dining rooms). Consider a stone or tile look in the kitchen instead. And if you don’t want to pay for the real thing, we have great news - tile and stone looks in luxury vinyl have come a long way in recent years. Here are some of the latest styles!

    You do if you are going to use them anywhere you may want to have the edge exposed, on steps for example, you may want to round the edges. SO having the same colur all the way through is preffered in such a scenario.

    Is it safer to cover it or have it removed? A home I might buy has asbestos tile under carpet. We don’t like the carpet so want to remove it and cover it back up. It’s only in two bedrooms so we could afford to it removed professionally if it’s the safest option. The tile from what we could see before removing the carpet was in tact. Also if we just covered it with click flooring Will removing the carpet beforehand be dangerous?

    If you wanna do from scratch, you can use advantec which is better than regular subfloor. We couldn’t swing whole house in wood. Done right and with stain or paint and good seal, it holds up and looks good.

      I hate carpets. I just happen to be lumbered with them. I moved into my current brand-new house a few years ago and it had fitted carpet throughout except in the bathroom. It really looked nice as the builder showed me around. Pristine beige carpet everywhere! It didn't stay pristine for long. Soon I was buying a more powerful vacuum cleaner. As I got older, I needed more stamina to push the nozzle across the carpet, especially when the suction was turned right up. But as time passed, inevitably the carpet got dirty. So I then purchased a carpet washer. This does work, though the manufacturer's genuine detergent (which you're supposed to use exclusively if you don't want to void the warranty) costs and arm and a leg. Actually, both arms and both legs. That liquid is exorbitantly priced. I should have had all the carpet ripped out ages ago and had wood flooring laid instead. I have a lot of contact with European families and in practically every house I visit, they have either wooden floors or ceramic tiles, both of which a dead easy to keep clean compared to carpet. I believe hard flooring is also the norm in Australia.

    Great informative video. Sometimes too much agitation can shred carpeting. I have mostly hardwood, but I have area rugs in each room. Some are delicate. I have three vacuum cleaners and each of them performs differently. My best well-rounded vacuum cleaner is my vintage Kirby. It has enough agitation to remove dirt, but it won't damage delicate material. You can also shut off the brush roll by turning the belt lifter to the 'off' position. My most powerful vacuum cleaner is a Royal all-metal upright. It has insane agitation and airflow, and it will remove deep embedded grit, but it can be too much for delicate rugs. I use it once in awhile on the rugs that aren't delicate.

    Hi Ken, Is the Bruce brand you are referencing a real hardwood product? I have original narrow plank hardwood oak flooring and I'm wanting to remodel kitchen and bathrooms with a high quality manufactured product recommended for those areas that will match my existing real wood but be more durable. Does my situation apply to the product you are recommending here? Thanks

    • @islandcarpettilehardwoods7804
      @islandcarpettilehardwoods7804 Год назад

      Hi Diane! Thanks for the comment. Yes, the Bruce brand shown in the video should work if your existing floor is 2 1/4" wide and 3/4" thick. Good luck with your project and let us know if you have any other questions!
