Flooring

Unless they are no-wax tiles, you first clean them thoroughly with ammonia (diluted), then place a coat of floor polish or floor wax on them. After the first coat dries, apply a second coat. With each coat applied, the floor will be shinier.

You can't. Just about any flooring except carpet can be slippery. You may want to place mats in traffic areas such as entrances and in the kitchen where water is likely to get on the floor. People put carpet runners in halls and on stairs. And don't walk around in your socks!

No, luan is a plywood and wood is naturally porous.

You can consider going for hardwood flooring as it one of the best aerobics wood flooring and apt for the purpose. It ensures lifelong sustainability along with the tenderness so that no one is hurt in case of any accident.

I think that luxury vinyl tile or plank is a great option for a kitchen. First, it is waterproof (laminate is not and with water it can be permanently damaged. Second, luxury vinyl is usually glued down to the floor, so it is more secure and feels/sounds more real vs. a laminate floor which is floating and sounds tinny/hollow underneath. Third, if you floor is uneven/not level, the luxury vinyl will work better as it is a flexible material and can tolerate indiscrepancies; a laminate floor will move a lot of if the floor is uneven (and could even buckle and break if it's too uneven.

Please note that you will still need to make sure you floor is smoothed out before putting luxury vinyl on top, as the the vinyl will telegraph the shape of what is underneath it.

Two of the things that are made out of vinyl are records and shower curtains. It is also stated that Walter Semon made golf balls and shoe heels that were made out of vinyl.

The Cost of VDF Flooring is Rs.45 - 55 per Sqmt. This includes only the labor charges and doesn't include the cost of Concrete.

GREAT physics experiment!

Wood is an insulator in part because it is less dense, so once your foot feels the cool, it is being insulated from losing more heat.

The Tile is dense and acts as a "HEAT SINK" it literally draws the heat out of the foot and stores it in the tile.

Nope, not good fro the wood and really not good for the finish. Wood LOVES moisture but moisture damages wood, so you should really be cleaning your wood floor with very minor amounts of an oily based cleaner, NOT with anything with water or steam.

The two most common commission schemes for flooring sales these days is, 5-7% of the gross sale or 20-30% of the Gross margin. The higher % of the gross margin, usually makes the salesperson pay more attention to selling highly profitable items and away from commodity loss leaders.

When putting a marble overlay over tile, like on a countertop or floor, you should first make sure the tile is in good condition and very clean or else it is not an optimal surface for the marble to adhere to. You should use a high flex thin set mortar like Super Flex to adhere it.

A full body ceramic tile carries the design and color through the thickness of the tile. The term "half body tile" appears not to be widely used, but may mean that the design and color do not go through the entire thickness of the tile.

Yes, you can but you need to staple a mesh to it. Then fill the mesh with thin-set and let it dry before putting your tile down with thin-set.

no and it would probably be a bad idea as it is likely to move around. Vinyl is cushioned anyway so there would be no point. Underlay is put under carpet to stop the carpet being crushed. Vinyl will restore after being walked on.

Answer 2:

Underlayment is used on vinyl when installed over a wood substrate. Vinyl will take the shape of the floor below requiring a smooth surface for installation. Without this board, often a floor will telegraph the imperfections below. Additionally the underlayment should have the nail holes and seams between boards patched with a wood filler.

Engineered oak flooring is wooden floors that have been created especially for flooring. It can vary in costs in many ways. It all really depends on what kind of what flooring you get.

"You can purchase flooring in both real wood and in laminate tiles. It depends on which you would rather have, you could check a carpet store for different styles."

I wouldn't. How are you supposed to keep the grounds in the scratch indentations? Contact the mfg. of the flooring or go to a home improvement store to see if there is a product that will "color" the scratched area so it matches the rest of the floor. The problem with laminates is that the actual laminated surface is very thin and if you scratch through it into the backing material, any moisture on the floor will seep into the backing causing it to swell and warp. Also, laminates are not designed to be "refinished".
