Assuming the wood has a good coat of poly on it the butter is just sitting on he top. Use windex to remove it.

if your grout line is less than 1/4" you use smooth grout, above that you use sanded grout.

There are multiple types of floor cleaners. It all depends on what type of flooring you have at your house. Each type of flooring has their own "best" brand. I would suggest looking online at the reviews once you know what type of flooring you have. Then follow it up with talking to people at different stores to get a collective opinion on which is the best brand.

That "Bubble" is more than likely an area where moisture has migrated up and condensed under the covering to form water. This water is harmful to the glue or mastic that was used to stick the linoleum to the substrate.

You can use a razor knife held at a 45 degree angle to slice open the center of the bubble. An absorbent cloth will absorb moisture underneath and a hair dryer to evaporate any remaining moisture will restore a dry surface. Apply glue starting at the outer edge of the bubble working your way to the center where your cut was made. Pressure Roll toward the center and see glue coming up through the angled cut. Remove any excess glue that comes to the surface from the cut and place something flat with a weight on top and allow to cure for the recommended time.

Any floor covering is susceptible for moisture to collect underneath and is especially true in rooms that have water in them. [Baths, Kitchens and Laundry Rooms] If the substrate is concrete, All Concretes Should Be Waterproofed before any floor covering is installed. That will stop moisture vapor emissions that cause this.

In principle,

Area of bathroom = 2*1 = 2 sq metres

Area of each tile = 0.5*0.5 = 0.25 sq m

So number of tiles required = 2/0.25 = 8 tiles.

In practice, you will need to allow for breakage.

30 tiles! But you'll need more than 30 tiles to cover wastage, breakage, etc.

It will cost between $4600 and $6100 depending on the contractor, number of layers to remove and material used.

If it's plywood, it's probably at least 3/4 real ply as opposed to 3/4 composite, what I call Japanese wood. However, I wouldn't use ply under ceramic tile. I would use at the very least the material called Hardi-Board. Ask about it at the hardware store.

That depends how much more and how much you like the look. If on the wall, wear and tear means little.

(added to original answer):

Porcelain is harder and denser than ceramic tile. It will take more abuse without cracking, and can be used outdoors in harsh climates because it will withstand freeze/thaw cycles that ceramic cannot.

So your answer depends on how you're going to use it. If you're putting the tile on a kitchen floor or billiards room where hard things are likely to be dropped on it, then yes, porcelain is worth paying more. But if you're installing tile on a bathroom floor, where the hardest thing to hit the floor are plastic shampoo bottles, then no - the higher price of porcelain isn't worth it unless you just happen to like the look of your porcelain choice better than a ceramic choice.

There are different kinds of porcelain, too - which might make a difference when used outdoors or in rooms where there will be much heavy use. Some porcelain tiles have a dense gray body and a glazed color top coat; others are "color-through" or "color-body" porcelain - in these, the same color of the surface is the same color throughout. They cost more than glazed porcelain. If you chip a glazed porcelain tile, the gray body will show through. If you chip a color-body porcelain tile, the chipped area will likely be insignificant or nearly invisible.

Floor tile are always thicker and the clay the tile is made from on the back of the tile will be dark. I'm sure that's right but can't back it up with proof.

4 sq ft

144/2.25=64. 18x18 tile cover 2.25 sq ft area.

Vinyl flooring can last up to 10 or 15 years if it is installed on a smooth solid surface in a low to medium traffic area.

1 and 1/3 tiles of 9 x 12 tiles will equal 1 square feet. Therefore, it will take 25 times 1-1/3 tiles or approx. 34 9x12 tiles to tile a 25 square foot area.

If you are talking about ceramic or porcelain tiles then yes. Granite tile and counters can also be cleaned using acetone. For softer stones like marble and travertine I would recommend using petrochemicals.

Nine you retard! Twelve by twelve inches is one square foot you GENIUS!

P.S. If you are not setting them straight by staright, you would want to leave about inch of plaster in between each tile so they wont break easy and can expand and shrink with the cold weather.

hard wood it is way cheeper but way worse

Assuming the question is about pavers that are 12 inch x 12 inch,

then each paver covers 1 sq foot and so 150 pavers would be required. However, this also assumes that there is no wastage at all and that there are no breakages.

You can't answer how many tile you need since the size of the tile wasn't provided in the question.

You will need 100 square feet of tile to cover the area and 10 square feet extra for cuts, breaks, and mistakes.

Buy 110 square feet of tile.

18"x18"/144 sq inches per sq ft = 2.25 sq ft per tile for 18x18 tiles

900 sq ft / 2.25 sqft/tile = 400 tiles +10% for waste and cuts = 440 tiles
