Island Carpet Tile & Hardwoods
Добавлен 31 янв 2018
Heading South for the Winter? You Still Need to Take Care of Your Hardwood Floors
Taking care of your hardwood floor is paramount, even when you’re not at home. Remember, wood expands and contracts when the temperature and humidity change. If you go south for the winter and leave your Rhody thermostat down at 58, you may notice gaps or other issues with your hardwood floor when you return in the hot and humid summer.

To Bevel or Not to Bevel Floors: Now It’s Up to You!

But today, they’re purely added for aesthetic reasons. We’re always happy to show you a bevy of bevel examples to help you decide.

Good video
what about glue down plank gapping over time ?
I used to recommend bevel luxury vinyl. But bevel catches dirt. So I now I don’t recommend but give a warning on bevel and any super textured material.
How do you clean them?
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 money was no concern is it safer to have a company remove it or do you potentially contaminate your whole home?
The cheapest and safest way is to lay plastic down on it and then the new tile.
so helpful! Winner
I think you just saved me thousands. Thanks for the the no bs.
Happy to have helped!
Glue Down 💯 if installed right, it will last a lifetime
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.
Whats the point of protecting a beautiful carpet if it spoiled by an ugly arpet protector
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.
Good tip
Half of the video is useless banter 🤷♀️ just show the repair for crying out loud
Thank you
🎉
What happens if you have wood floorboards in the bathroom. Will they have to be removed and replaced with cement board?
comment for the algorithm
A scuffed hardwood floor gives it vintage appeal.
Can we stop shepping once it starts?
Thank you for the information
Super helpful and honest thank you

Thanks.
That is some really thin LVP.. Looks very low end which helps with the repair though.

Hi Ken, I want to connect with you regarding rug manufacturing. How can we connect? Would really appreciate a response.
Click is crap, glue down is best!
Tufted =toxic
The piicture of the floating plank is so close up that I can't even tell what I am looking at.
Thank you super helpful, looking at two rugs one wool and one tencel, this has helped me decide to pass on the latter.
Very glad we could help!
I know nothing about boats but out of curiosity, why is Fall a good time to carpet the boat? Is there a specific reaaon?
Good question! Choosing the late fall means any installation time won't take away from peak season. You can also immediately set sail when you're ready in the spring.
@@islandcarpettilehardwoods7804 Ah yup, of course, makes sense. I was thinking it must be around the boat base materials expanding/contractng or something. I didn't stop to think about the vehicle usage aspect of it. Cheers.
Will the glue down vinyl tile shrink over time?
I agree
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.
Do all glue downs shrink
goat
Thank Ken, What about fading due to sun exposure. Is there a difference between Glazed and Through body porcelain tile?
P r o m o s m
What do you think of Eurolon fiber? Is it really better than plain old polypropylene? I like the feel of it, and it seems like it would hold up better than viscose/tencel.
thanks for uploading. favorite flooring channel I know of
Thank you, we appreciate it!
Jesus is Alive he love us all you heard a loud voice if you couldn't see your why you look up to heaven
I could listen to you talk all day. You are a natural storyteller.
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
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!
Straight to the point and valuable info, love it!
