The main floor of the Coliseum in Rome consisted of a wooden floor covered with sand. The term arena refers to the sand that covered the floor.

You should always use an underlayment for hardwood floors. Use either Red Rosin paper or 15lb Fortifiber hardwood underlayment. Fortifiber is recommended, heavy duty and better quality vapor barrier.

Abrasion in laminate floors refers to the wearing away or damage to the surface layer of the flooring caused by friction, foot traffic, or other abrasive elements. This can lead to a decrease in the flooring's aesthetic appeal and durability over time. Regular cleaning and maintenance can help prevent and minimize abrasion on laminate floors.

can you mix ceramic and porcelain tile on a bathroom floor

It all depends on the sealer you used! I use a product called StableCrete that penetrates into the grout joints to waterproof them without leaving a film. Ready for light traffic in four hours. The Grout is what you seal with a ceramic install and not the ceramic!

The first thing that happens is the Hydration process is interrupted by the water in the mix no longer being able to properly mix with and have time to react [Hydrate] the Portland Cement. Since the cement is the ingredient that "glues" the fines and aggregate together to form this artificial rock, there is a loss of the compressive strentgh intended for that particular mix.

A concrete floor meant to develop 3500 psi may only test out at 2500. With a bad cure you will see dusting, scaling and flaking of a finished surface almost immediately. Very Important to observe ambient temperatures hot and cold when placing concrete. If you live in a cold area, Freeze Thaw Damage is a condition where excess moisture that is allowed to accumulate IN a Cured concrete will expand on freezing [10-15%] and cause surface delaminations, pop outs and scaling of a surface long after it has set or cured. That's why it is so important to waterproof even an aged concrete with a penetrating sealer to decrease the moisture content and avoid this also.

You mix it according to the instructions and pour it into the low areas as needed. While it is still liquid, it flows and produces a level surface. See Link

No, they are not. Biodegradable things are organic, based on the chemicals of living things. Ceramic is inorganic, so there's nothing to attack. Ceramics are not unlike stone.

You should immediately try to mop up, or remove as much, if not all, of the water as you can. Leaving the water on the wood floor will cause it to warp out of shape.

Anything that adds time to an installation is a chargable item. The fitter is a highly skilled trades person, taking up an existing flooring takes up their time and they will no doubt incurr disposal costs aswell. As the customer you have to pay for the time, and costs are always reflected in any estimate. My advice is: take it up yourself!

I've always assumed it's a euphemism, that he peed his pants. Not an unreasonable reaction when staring at the business end of a large caliber handgun held by someone with malice in mind.

wood: wood can crack unlike concrete and wood is affected by water which can cause it to rot whereas concrete is not

Metals: Metals can rust whereas concrete does not and metals can easily scratch

Bricks: Bricks are more expensive than concrete and bricks take generally more 'man power' to place down whereas concrete does not.

Hope this has been a good help

Yes! But you need to make sure you have proper support underneath i.e floor joists. Make sure they are sturdy and supportive, if they start moving, your tile will be ruined. Try to use 3/4" pressboard on the joists screwed every 8"...stagger the boards so there is no continuous running joints. On top of that use 1/2" cement board like durock. You must use thin set between the two boards and screw them together. Also, use thin set , as you would spackle, in the joints of durock with mesh material as reinforcement. Make sure to use the green screws specifically made for cement board. Wait 24 hrs and start tiling...goodluck

But really, a tip means a lot more to us than the $$. It confirms that we did a good job and that we showed respect to your home and family. I may make $1000 installing a floor, but it is that $20 tip that makes my day.
