I had misread the Underlayment requirements...... need to use 15lb Asphalt felt (doubling over heating ducts)

Yes, it's prefinished

No, I'm going to discuss further with the supplier see if they can get more info. Not sure how noticeable 1/32" will be and how have needed.

So heard back that I should leave 3/4" around perimeter and any fixed structure. I should also start in central area and work outwards in each direction. They also recommend using 1/32" aluminum spacers if the width is over 20'. So I think that means using a temporary 1/32" washer or similar...

DC is nearest (abt. 25m inland) 11.1 to 12.6. Not sure if that's considered a big swing.

Yes, home conditioned and heated year round. There are a couple of areas in middle of width where I could add 1/16th or 1/8th washers when nailing to add some additional expansion spacing.

Hi, anyone have experience in installing Hickory solid hardwood floors when the maximum length is 45ft and width 36ft (I am asking manufacturer). Don't want any transitions. Boards are various lengths x 4in x 3/4" It will be over 3/4" plywood with an acoustical Underlayment. I have existing...

It's electric wire, that was hot glued to the backer board and then tile over it...... tiles were back buttered so expecting good adhesion. I'm pretty much expecting to be not worth trying to save, be easier to remove everything..... backer board was screwed only so hopefully that can just be...

So going to be doing a bathroom remodel which will entail removing existing tile over a heated floor. Ideally want to remove the tile without damaging the heated floor. Existing is 6x24 Glazed Porcelain Floor Tile and believe the thinset was VersaBond. Are there tips (other than going slow...

I can see how with the colours how easy it is to be random but end up with a pattern in places. Appreciate everyone's advice..... thanks.

So been looking at various LVP patterns...... by far I prefer a more random pattern than something that repeats. But how do you come up with something that looks random as surely if you start a new row with off cuts from prior rows you run risk of a pattern emerging. So any tips on getting...

At moment leaning towards Lowes Smartcore

The casing is 20yrs old so unlikely buy off shelf exact, but I can take off inside pantry and use that for patching.... then replace panty with newer. I replaced all the baseboard for 6" a while back so would rather not replace again..... so likely will see if I can get away with not removing...

I will either remove all base and reinstall, or use a shoe .... to be decided Not sure adding 1/2" ply is cost effective given its price at moment! Really not looking at replacing the casing so I guess will experiment with either patching or some architectural detail. Was not aware LVP could...

Thanks CJ Just in the investigation phase now, will likely get project underway late July/August Couple of questions 1) how to deal with the door casing/jambs previously undercut for 3/4" flooring 2) is it possible to reverse the installation direction to deal with room layouts.... with...
