Although modified thinset will bond to the vinyl floor covering it doesn't mean it will allow for a successful installation. The vinyl should be removed along with the 1/4" plywood underlayment.

Fitting vinyl flooring is straightforward, but you do need to prepare the surface to perfection. Timber floors need to be " gloved " i.e.: have a plywood layer fitted to them to provide a flat clean surface. The plywood needs to be fixed every 100mm preferably with rust resistant nails or short screws, making sure all fixings do not sit proud of the surface. Concrete floors need to be latexed or a smoothing compound installed. To provide a nice clean smooth and flat workable surface.

Yes, choose our clic floating cork floor and you can install directly over your existing flooring with very little surface preparation.

Yes. The Texas Asbestos Health Protection Rules (TAHPR) allow a person who has had the Resilient Floor Covering Institute (RFCI) guidelines training to use those guidelines for flooring removal in leu of a license. The guidelines must be followed strictly.

The base ingredient is rigid PVC (polyvinyl chloride), modified to provide superior strength and ultraviolet (UV) resistance. The formulation is similar to vinyl siding, which has a nearly 30 year history of durability and structural integrity.

We produce other finished products such as stair treads, thresholds, casing stock, counters, mouldings and other millwork. We also sell rough-sawn material for projects such as customer-made counters, cabinets, furniture and beams.

Longleaf packs your flooring in manageable size bundles which are banded together with plastic strapping. The average size bundle is roughly 15 to 20 square feet and weighs about 45 pounds. The bundles are then assembled on wood pallets and banded, as one or more units, with steel strapping. Our finished packs are easily maneuvered by forklift, lull, or other mechanical means.

Many steps can be taken to help reduce scratches on a wood floor. First, you can put throw rugs down in any high traffic areas such as in entryways, in front of your sink or refrigerator, or down a highly traveled hallway. One of the best things you can do is dust, sweep or mop on a regular basis to keep any dirt or debris from collecting on the surface or the floor. You can also put felt pads under the legs of any chairs or tables.

Excessive moisture is the most common cause of buckling floors. Moisture can come from leaking pipes, wet basements or crawl spaces, plywood exposed to the elements during construction, and houses left vacant without proper ventilation. You would need to identify the source of the problem, and eliminate it. Floors can also buckle if a proper expansion gap around each wall is not used.

Peel the outer vinyl layer off dry. Soak the backing layer, wait 10 to 15 minutes and scrape off. For more detailed instructions or options, see our wallcovering removal guide.

Not when it comes to siding. Vinyl siding's outstanding features and benefits have made it the most popular siding material in America today. And because vinyl is the preferred siding for more and more homeowners, it retains most of its installed cost (see previous question for details). It's the material of choice on new luxury homes...and the first choice for remodeling projects large and small.

Making cork tiles is not a very arduous task, though the whole process, from growth to formation of tiles, is rather time consuming. After the cork is pruned (on usually 9 or 10 year cycles), it is collected and laid in the sun to air dry. The selective shavings are then ground up to varying degrees and sorted into different categories (mainly by size of pieces). Depending on the mixture, the pieces are either intermixed or left alone as large chunks.

Anything you can dream of, similar to your home. Some popular choices are ceramic or porcelain tile, acrylic finishes, and carpet.

Pre-finished flooring has a great advantage over unfinished flooring. Both floors install exactly the same, however, once the pre-finished floor is installed you're all done. The only thing you have left to do is move the furniture back into the room and enjoy. An unfinished floor requires sanding and then the application of urethane. This can take an extra couple of days labor with an incomparable amount of aggravation.

Natural floorings are carpets/rugs made from natural fibers, either vegetable, such as Seagrass, Sisal, Mountain Grass or Jute; or animal such as Wool.
