What is a better option for flooring and why; natural stone or faux stone flooring? Is faux stone flooring quite a bit cheaper to have installed? Just want an idea to help me become more informed on these two flooring options while considering them. Thank you.
Hi, I’d like to know what the difference is between a glue-down and floating floor and what are their pros/cons? Thanks.
I’ve noticed the prices of natural stone tiles and flooring can vary greatly. Why would this be the case and does price usually mean quality or does it really depend? How can I best judge when a product is of good quality, regardless of the cost? I’d like to find some high quality examples so that I can consider them and weigh up my options for a new installation of tiles/flooring in different rooms throughout my home.
Do stair runners come in a standard width?
Hi. I live in 1st floor 1930s maisonette. My loving room and corridor leading to it seem to have springy floor. Whenever i walk everything is shaking. Other rooms and kitchen seem to be much more solid. Living room is roughly 4m x5m. How can this be fixed? Do i need joist replacement?
I have had some tiles fitted recently which have not been fitted correctly which do not seem to have enough adhesive used. They are quite loose in some areas when they have any weight on them & can be quite wobbly in some cases. I want to lift off the tiles so they can be refitted with more adhesive. Is there any simple way for me to lift off the tiles without causing any damage to the tiles themselves and the floors beneath? Is there any tools that could be used for this specific purpose?
If I were to have an engineered hardwood floor installed in the kitchen and then a solid hardwood floor fitted in my living room, would it feel weird for us or even our guests, walking on one surface then another? Would it feel out of place to have these two types of flooring on the same level of my house?
How much would it cost to re - tile a 2m x 2m bathroom which already has existing tiles? Just for the labour without the tile price.
Carpet fitter wanted to use spray glue to stick down carpet? Yes he was using grippers and stair pads and bars, but wanted to glue the whole lot down to stop it from moving and curling. He used spray glue when cutting the carpet which melted the gloss paint on the stairs and he left dirty boot prints embedded in the melted paint. He also cut the carpet outside in the communal car park without putting down any protection, is this the norm for carpet fitters or would there be alternatives to prevent such damage?
