LVT is on the rise here, a lot of big apartment Complexes going that way. Along with carpet Tiles or with Smart strand Carpet waterproof pad. Pp swear by smart strand. They like the LVT grouted.

Bamboo, that bad ha? I've never installed it. I don't think it's pretty floor, I dont blame you for not wanting to install it. I get sick of sales pp. saying things they have no clue of, and what gets me is the customer believes everyone els who never touched a tool. I've been getting CPT...

We do a lot of new construction what they do is raise cabinets high enough so laminate will have the expansion it needs. Then they put the face board on under toe kick and cabinet molding around it. They will set the cabinets on a flat 1x4 under it leaving about a 1/2inch lift from all the edge...

I just went to LL the other day, for the 1st Time. I seen products look good in pkgs. but corners smashed , tongues broken, wood looks warped. Customers don't really know what to look for on product. A lot of installers have te worse time, with what they sell wood, and carpet and it's not their...

That's nice! But what's the cost? I really like the fact with tile you don't have to worry about the water in a kitchen and entry and dining room. Especially with animals. Thanks for that idea. It won't hurt to ask them.

The only reason I asked about Engineered is because the customer is shopping for a flooring to up date her flooring and painting walls to resell the house. For a house they really want! But they also are scarred that if their house don't sell in time to get the other house. They will have to...

Who can tell me about Engineered wood flooring? Is it like installing Laminate? Also do you think it would be wise to put it in from a garage entry hall into a kitchen and through a dinning room out to front entry. Customer wants a wow look that flows beautifully. But also if home does not sell...

I didn't know that! Please forgive me. But tanks for telling me.

It looks like a panda bear! The eyes look pretty real. What a Trip!

O good, I'm sorry I misunderstood! I'm really new to this all! To answer your question The LVT Luxury vinyl tile is beautiful and installer friendly. One thing I've noticed is that you don't want to wait too long to roll it. Otherwise tile will not stick and you have to pull up the tile and re...

Sorry Ken, if I offended u! I've installed this vinyl Tile in manny homes and I'm going to do 675sf in a kitchen laundry rm and entry hall and pantry. You just need to look up the the mill specs, and follow what they say for installation directions . We are doing a entry and a 1/2 bath rm...

Your right! Nafco! My bad, lol Yeah it would be easier to strike a chalk line. My husband does but he also puts a dark pencil line ware he will start first row of tiles to see it through the glue, Just to start off. Then once first row of tiles are started, it all goes pretty good. Its Just So...

DO YOU MEAN NAVCO? LOL! Its a LVT luxury vinyl tile! Right? We use a Drill to drill the holes and use a jig saw with a fine tooth blade for notches. Make sure you square room off draw the lines with a pencil when you glue over pencil the glue drys clear. Soyou will be able to see the lines...

SO HOW ARE YOU DOING GUMP? I just thought of a idea, if all else fails with corners and you don't want other flooring. Try lifting tile corner and stick some gorilla glue under the corners, clean all oozing glue immediately, OFF SURFACE AND GROUT GROVES, roll flat and stick something heavy...
