    Vinyl planks in kitchen?

I’m thinking about installing it in the kitxhen I was recently told by 2 contractors that this type of flooring will not last in a kitchen because it’s a high traffic area and spills, water. I thouught the whole point of using...

    Glue residue on concrete slab

    I spoke to you about wood but now I'm considering tile. With all the potential problems with wood ebcause of the slab, I thought tile may be anceasier route but nobody seems to know what they're doing.

    Glue residue on concrete slab

    Since I'm not getting consistent information from installers, I don't know who is qualified to do the job. So, if I know, beforehand, exactly what needs to be done, I can make an educated decision. Right now, I'm not sure what needs to be done. I've gotten ridiculously high estimates from...

    Glue residue on concrete slab

    So, if I want to float the engineered floor, I don't have to worry about flatness, if I use the padding/underlayment? I thought flatness was an issue for engineered or tile. I was wondering if a self leveler would also be needed.

    HEEEELP! I have no idea!

    As I stated, I don't know if the installers just don't want to be bothered with glueing tongue and groove together. However, my previous floor was glued with Bruce glue and after about 15 years or so, actually started lifting. I think it was laminate-parquet blocks. So, I was told that if...

    HEEEELP! I have no idea!

    I am on a somewhat conservative budget. I have been looking at engineered hardwood. However, I don't know if it's laziness or truthfulness but I've been told not to install flooring that requires ANY type of glue-glue down or tongue and groove. I was told to find a click lock floor. I am...
