Flooring

In feet: Width x Length = Square Feet

In inches: (width x length) /144= Square Feet

Yes, IF the laminate is sound and well-adhered (not coming loose). You will have to thoroughly sand the surface to a rough, dull finish for the adhesive to properly bond.

The acceptable standard is 4:1 (That is 4 wheelbarrows of sand to TWO bags cement) as the volume of a wheelbarrow is roughly double that of a 50kg bag of cement.

Lots of builders get "confused" by this.

Wood Flooring installation should cost between $3.50 and $4.50 per square foot including installation materials as well.

The Oreck Steam It is a popular steam cleaner for all types of surfaces. Sienna Aqua steam cleaner is a close second with consumers.

I was recently quoted 50 cents to $1 per square foot to remove parquet. So based on that, I'd guess $250-$500. It seems more expensive to remove than other wood floors because it's tile-like and requires more effort. Hope that helps!

Steam cleaning a bamboo floor is not advisable. Bamboo is easily damaged from steam even when it is sealed. Contact the manufacture for further instruction on cleaning beyond a microfiber mop and alcohol based cleaner.

Most carpets are made of synthetic fibers like nylon and polyester. More expensive carpets can also be made of jute and wool.

Depending on the pattern and subfloor probably between $40000-50000 not including materials.

Your dimensions 3' x 3' x 4" equate to .1 cubic yard. One cu yd of concrete weighs from 2000 to 3500 lbs, depending on the mix. Commercial concrete is around 3200 lbs per cu yd, so your .1 cu yd would weigh 320 lbs.

Answer: 184 assuming no waste... There will be waste and broken tiles. Get an extra case.

Math:

13in X 13in = 169 Square inches

169 Square inches / 144 Square inches per square foot = 1.17 square foot per tile

215 square feet / 1.17 square feet = 184 tiles

12' X15' = 180 sq ft

180 sq ft / 9 = 20 sq yds

20 sq yds X $4.50 = $90.00

Concrete is durable, fire resistant, has long life, is energy efficient and important as an earthquake safety product

Whether your feet are clean are not, walking barefoot on carpet causes oil absorption. The oils attract dirt and dust, so the carpet does become dirty faster than if you wore slippers. Remove your shoes at the door and always wear clean slippers when walking on your carpet. This will prolong the period of time between regular carpet shampooing.

On antiqued finished the minimum is 1/8" grout line. On the honed you might be able to get a 1/16" grout line depending on the edging.

There are three types of wood flooring: solid, engineered, engineered floating.

Solid is natural wood usually 3/4" thick.

Engineered is solid piece of wood on top of compressed wood the wood is usually 1/4" thick and the compressed wood is anywhere from 1/4" to 1/2" thick.

Engineered floating is thin solid piece of wood on top of compressed wood, it is thin enough so during installation it does not have to be attached to the subfloor. The solid wood is usually about 1/8" thick and the compressed is 1/4" thick.

All these three types come in all different types of wood species such as bamboo.

You need to contact flooring companies and get estimates. It depends on the area you want to cover, the type of parquet floors you pick, and how much to install them to get a total cost. The prices can vary between companies. I suggest at least 3 estimates.

If you install a tongue&groove bamboo flooring, the cost will be about USD8.00/sqm. If you install a click lock bamboo flooring, the cost will be about USD5.00/sqm. The best way is choose click lock bamboo flooring.

the height of mostrooms is 8ft, but to the next floor is 81/2 ft allowing for the floor joists

As a carpenter this is incorrect. The stud height in an average home wall is 92 5/8" once you add the 1 1/2" from the bottom plate and 3" for the two top plates you get 97 1/8". Then you must add the floor joice which is refered too as a 2 x 8, the actual measurements are 1 1/2" by 7 1/4" (W by H). Once you add that and a sheet of plywood which is 3/8" to the 97 1/8" you get 104 3/4".

The standard height of a wall in a residential house is 104 3/4"

A chemical stripper is one way. Simply sanding off the wax and stain so you restain and finish is another. Be care with the chemical stripper though, it might soak into the wood and make refinishing a hassle. If all you want to do is refinish the floor without re-staining use the Basic Coatings no sanding method, or find someone who uses that method; everything is done in one day with no dust.

The cost to install 650 square feet of wood floor depends on the wood chosen and who you choose to install it. The flooring itself can range from $1.80 to $15 per square foot, while labor can be anywhere from $2 to 8 per square foot.

Yes, I have stayed on the 13th floor of the Luxor. I set it up through one of those online hotel/flight discount things. I assumed I got the 13th floor because it was cheaper, and that less people would want to stay there. I didn't mind at all. It was alright.

Assuming you want the square footage for 12ft wide broadloom carpet; a quick measure of the width of the stair tread (width), typical lineal measurement of both riser and down across stair tread and over and around stair nosing(LF), and total amount of stairs (each). An 8ft ceiling typically has 12 stair treads with 13 risers. Stair tread and riser measure typically 1'6" LF and 1'9" LF allows for tucking and squaring the piece. A typical width is 3'2" wide. Thus you can get 3 widths out of a 12ft wide carpet. Needing 12 stairs x 3'2" wide x 1'9" LF in total. A 12 ft wide carpet running (4 x 1'9" LF) 7'0" . You need 12'0" x 7'0" or 9.33 Sq.yards/84 Sq.feet. If you have "pie shaped" stairs you have to measure the furthest points of both riser and stair tread while measuring the stair tread on a 90 degree angle to the riser so the straightness of the pile direction is consistant from stair to stair regardless of the shape of the stair. Stairs that are opened on the sides( no stringer) must also be measured along furthest points and allow extra tuck space for upholstery of the corners. If the stairs are wider then 4 feet, use a piece of graph paper to draw out the 12 ft width of carpet and "fill-in" the stairs allowing 1"-3" in between cut pieces. Always allow an extra 3" per total cut size to allow for the factory cut to be off-square!
