How to select the right flooring for your home Selecting the right flooring for your home can be a tough decision. Flooring sets the tone for the rest of the room and not only has to meet your interior style preferences but also be suitable for your lifestyle. There are so many different types of flooring to choose from with all of them touting different features and benefits.

Before making a flooring purchase, you should ask yourself some basic questions to determine what features are important to you. · What room(s) in your home is the flooring going to be installed in? · Do you have pets and/or children?

· How much can you spend on flooring and installation costs? · Do you prefer a floor that has low maintenance requirements? Your answers to these questions can help guide you in selecting the right flooring for your home.

If you answered yes to any of these questions, one flooring category to consider is sheet vinyl.

hallway / kitchen flooring question?

we have friends who built a house - very pricey - but they paid for ceramic tile in the foyer and hall and then laid linoleum down in the kitchen to save money. it looks cheap - which is what it was.

Since you are splitting the flooring between upstairs and downstairs there should be very little problems.

can we pour concrete over plywood for flooring?

There are instances that special types of concrete can be done over a ply wood flooring.

It depends on what you are doing to the finished floor. For example. I used to do a cement base for ceramic tile.

The is an 100 yr old process and this have held up for years. But this is a special method. If your referring to regular poured cement over plywood, generally not because of the weight.

basement flooring?

The last thing i would put in a basement or bathroom is wood. Wood does not take moisture well at all and absorbs moisture even in the air.

Concrete is the best place for ceramic that's why when it's a wood floor they put concrete backer boards down. I would sugest caramic, vinyl or the newer pvc flooring made by balta it comes in alot of patterns and moves just like a laminate floor

what's an advantage and a disadvantage to having asphalt, rubber, or wood flooring in a horse stall?

Asphalt. Advantage: It's durable and does not absorb water.

Disadvantage: It's hard on the joints while they are standing, and unforgiving when they go to roll - they may bang themselves up. Most expensive, must be professionally laid. Rubber: Advantage: It does not absorb moisture and it's softer and easier on their joints and skin.

Easy to install. Disadvantage: It can be slippy and you have to clean under it sometimes. On dirt, it shifts and sags and poses a tripping hazard.

Wood flooring: Advantage: Softer, more forgiving than asphalt; keeps them dryer. Cheapest alternative. Disadvantages: Splinters.

Wear from horse shoes. Smell if urine puddles underneath. Must be properly installed and maintained or a foot can go through and be trapped, causing severe injuries.

which hardwood flooring to use, woven bamboo walnut or bamboo toast?

well . .

I personally think that hardwood looks better over time, as each piece has it's own characteristic . . you look at a couple of pieces of the bamboo flooring and you see activity in it .

. albeit very dense. When you get it on the floor, it looses any characteristics really quick and looks like a field of uniformity.

Not necessarily a bad thing . . .

but it depends on preference. If you want a more relaxed softer look . .

I think hardwood with a beveled edge and a little distressing is the way to go . . if you want ultra-modern .

. then bamboo would be an ok choice.

How do you make laminate flooring sound more solid, less hollow?

Use a second or even a third layer of plastic under the floor. Laminate flooring is inherently noisy, and very thin sounding, unlike glued down or nailed wood planks.

Also the thickness has something to do with it. But if its already a done deal, more plastic underneath. If thats not an option either, then no dice, theres nothing I know of you can apply over the laminate to help this

how can I determine the type of wood flooring I discovered after removing old carpeting?

congratulations, pulling up carpet and finding wood plank flooring is always a treat and maybe a Pandora's box if you do not invest in the proper steps to refinish it. Given the age, you are probably looking at the floor being pine or oak. You can try to hammer a nail into it, if the nail can start to be driven in ,you have pine.

If the nail will not go very far without great resistance then it's no doubt oak. You can also try to press your finger nail into it. pine will start to dent slightly under your nail, oak will not.

learn how to operate a floor sander and refinish them or better yet hire a pro. there is never a home owners job quite as well done as a professionally done job
