Flooring

Use Goop or Goof-off available from Home Depot or any hardware store. If you don't want to use a chemical (although ceramic tile is very tough stuff) you could first try rubbing the area with baby oil. I suggest you try it on an area that isn't in the middle of your floor first to make sure that nothing bad happens in a visible area.

Answer Take a warm iron and some paper toweling and put the toweling down, hold the iron over it briefly and keep doing this until the wax gets warm and bleeds into the toweling. Be careful the iron is not too hot! Then take a light grid piece of sandpaper and lightly go back and forth on the red stain length-wise (do not press too hard) until the dye is out. After the dye is gone you can use a paste wax to bring up the shine.

Answer Try an ice cube on the wax to freeze it and then try scraping it off with a putty knife or razor blade. Use light pressure while doing this. (My concern is that, by heating the wax, some of the dye may work into the flooring.)

My kids left a sap trail on my hardwood through out the house so I used Non stick cooking spray. Spray on sap and clean off with a rag or paper towel. Be sure to clean your floors with whatever you usually use to get the oil residue off. Worked like a charm!

Try an ice cube to freeze it and then scrape it off. If that doesn't work, then rubbing it with margarine or ammonia (windex) may do the trick. These work well for wax and tar. * Try a scraping most of the sap away with a credit card or equivalent then apply a little 'Skin So Soft' by Avon rub with a clean cloth.

Kerosene, Turpentine, or Mineral Sprits will disolve tree sap and tar.

Hey there! Congratulations on your decision to construct a new home! When it comes to flooring options like marble, granite, and tiles, it depends on your personal preferences and the vibe you want to create in your space.

Let me share a little story from my own experience. When I was building my dream home, I spent ages trying to decide between marble, granite, and tiles for the flooring. After much deliberation and countless Pinterest boards, I finally settled on marble. Marble flooring adds a touch of timeless elegance to any room and instantly elevates the overall aesthetic. Plus, it's surprisingly easy to clean and maintain, which is a huge bonus for busy folks like us.

That being said, granite and tiles also have their unique advantages. Granite is incredibly durable and can withstand heavy foot traffic, making it ideal for high-traffic areas like entryways and kitchens. On the other hand, tiles offer endless versatility in terms of colors, patterns, and textures, allowing you to unleash your creativity and customize your flooring to suit your style. Ultimately, it boils down to your individual preferences, budget, and the specific needs of your home. So take your time, weigh your options, and choose the flooring that speaks to you and your vision for your dream home!

The simplest way to figure out if an old tile has asbestos is to send a sample to an asbestos testing center. Use caution when collecting a sample as inhaling of asbestos particles has known to cause cancer.

A title held by local leaders in the area could have been "village chief" or "tribal elder." These roles were often responsible for governing and making decisions for the community.

Asbestos was last used in floor tiles in the late 1980s before being largely discontinued due to health concerns linked to asbestos exposure. Since then, alternative materials have been used in the production of floor tiles.

The floor of a synagogue is typically covered with carpet or hardwood flooring. It may also have tiles or a traditional rug called a "Bimah."

Uhm.. Floor? It is a thing. You can touch most things, you can touch the floor... It is the 'bottom' of a house, the opposite of a ceiling. People walk on the floor, you keep most of your furniture on the floor.

I don't think it is a place, but there may well be a place called Floor.

You can use a water-based polyurethane ( or oil-based if you prefer). Go to Home Depot or Lowe's where there is a big selection. Some of these products zero in on their uses for particular projects.

To age Saltillo tile, you can use a mixture of water and vinegar to create a patina. Apply the solution to the tile and let it sit for a while before rinsing. You can also try using a color-enhancing sealer to give the tiles an aged look.

Carpet Cushion or "padding" is just as important as the carpet itself. There are various different types of materials used in carpet cushion. Many years ago, natural fibres (horse hair etc) were used to make a "felt" pad. Synthetic fibres are now used. Felt is used typically were there is commercial traffic and a greater need for sound/acoustic insulation. The large majority of carpet cushion sold/used today is made from rebonded urethane foam chip material. This rebonded (rebond) product combines both reclaimed urethane chips from recycling old mattress/upholstery foam and new (prime) urethane foam. This method is the most cost effective and is scalable in both density and thickness. A moisture barrier is attached to resist absorption of liquid spills penetrating through the carpet. This underlayment (underlay) does a good job providing support for all types of stretched installations. Many years ago a composite material of clay & rubber was used to make carpet cushion. This provided an extremely dense and low profile underlayment (underlay). Unfortunately, the bonding of the clay and rubber does not stay intact. Also, rubber tends to change its shape as a result of environmental changes (humidity/temperature) modern rubber underlayment (underlay) utilizes much more stable, closed cell SBR rubber. However, a "waffle" texture to the surface of the rubber padding can, add to the lack of a proper stretch if a power stretcher is not used on larger room sizes. A special webbed layer is attached to the top of rubber (and some rebond chip products) to allow a "double-stik" installation method. This allows the carpet to be glued directly to the surface of the underlayment (underlay) and the underlayment glued (typically with a release adhesive) directly to the substrate (concrete/plywood). There are now virgin foam padding products available that are made from natural oils and are closed cell construction (won't absorb moisture). These are premium products that provide the very best in support for all carpets; they also offer very good comfort. The principle density ratings of carpet cushion is expressed by either pounds per cubic foot or total weight of a square yard. the bare mininum density found in rebond is typically a 4lb density. Contractors use this quality as it offers a short term performance at minimal cost. The flooring industry considers a 6lb or more density a "High Density" product. Many manufacture's warranties are null & void without this minimal density being used. There is also 7lb, 8lb,9lb and 10 lb carpet cushions in rebond chip products. Again, because the raw material is taken from recycled foam, density can be inconsistant. Rubber underlayment (underlay) is generally very high 18lb to 35lb density. Rubber padding can also be made much thinner then rebond chip because of this higher density. When using carpet cushion in a stretched installation, the tack strips (smoothedge) that is nailed/glued around the base of the room walls is typically 5/16" high. The thickness of the underlayment (underlay) is almost completely comfort related. Manufactures quite often offer various thicknesses measured within 1/32" increments as this does effect costs but most consumers would never be able to feel the diffrerence between a 7/16" padding a 13/32" padding. Padding over 7/16" in thickness is not very installation-friendly as the smoothedge is only 5/16" high and the carpet can "pull back" away from the wall causing a loose fitted section. The same can be said about padding thinner then 3/8" as the carpet is literally getting "stretched" over the thickness of the padding "down" across the 5/16" smoothedge. Finally, there is another term of performance regarding underlayment (underlay), the compression/recovery factor. It simply means how resilent is the padding from onging traffic. Rebonded chip padding tends to "compress" down in high traffic areas; the lower the density the more this becomes apparent. SBR rubber and virgin/prime urethane foams have very little compression issues. The higher the density, the more "ridgid" the feel. The thinner the padding the less "compression" happens. It is simply a user-based decision. Carpet cleaning can cause the most problems if excessive moisture is used with a padding that is not closed cell.

-- Each sheet of plywood covers 4 x 8 = 32 square feet.

-- 10 x 10 = 100 square feet.

-- 100/32 = 3.125 . . . If you cover only the floor of the room, then you need 4 sheets,
but you only use 1/8 of the fourth one.

-- 200/32 = 6.25 . . . If you cover both the floor and the ceiling, then you need 7 sheets,
but you only use 1/4 of the seventh one.

-- If you want to cover one or more walls, then we'd need to know the height of the room

A 12 by 12 vinyl floor tile covers an area of 1 square foot. If the room measures 16' by 16', it has an area of 256 square feet. So, you would need 256 12 by 12 vinyl floor tiles to cover the entire floor.

It is not recommended to photocopy a laminated document as the lamination may cause issues with the copy quality and potentially damage the photocopier. It is best to remove the lamination before making a copy for the best results.

Newspaper was often used as an insulating or padding material beneath carpeting in older homes as a cost-effective and accessible option. It was a common practice before modern insulation materials became widely available.

Palm branches were laid down on the floor for Jesus to walk on during his Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem, as described in the Bible (Matthew 21:8-9). This event is also known as Palm Sunday and is celebrated by Christians as the beginning of Holy Week.
