Dog- & wheelchair-friendly flooring
Comments (5)Particle board works well for carpet and vinyl, its a pain in the butt when you want to upgrade to something nicer, like tile or wood. With big dogs and wheelchairs Tile or Laminate or sheet vinyl are going to hold up the best. wood will just get banged up. when on a budget and especially with the size you are looking at, laminate may work well. and although I wont go as far as saying PB will be just fine as an underlayment, people do lay right over it and it works for them. gotta weigh the pros and cons. You may never have an issue just laying right over PB and save a few bucks, but in a few years time it may become soft and spongy. Def No tile over PB, that's just asking for problems....See MoreCortec LVP commercial grade floors after a month
Comments (50)Millworkman, you were right!!! We asked the Board and management, and the top of the concrete is ours, so we can smooth it and level it. We were told another reno was done recently, and it included fixing the cement before the installation....See MoreBasement flooring dilemma - Hardwood stairs to LVP flooring transition
Comments (9)We have hardwood on our main floor and LVP on our stairs down to the basement as well as on the basement floor (over cement). When the LVP was first installed on the stairs (it's been a little over a year now), my husband thought the "lip" part of the stair treads (the bull-nosed edge piece) was not installed perfectly flush and secure on several (I think 4) of the treads, so I wonder if that is not uncommon and is what your flooring contractor is worried about. I didn't even notice it, but my husband is a perfectionist and it bothered him. Rather than complain and have the installers come back to address the issue, my husband fixed the issue himself. I think he used tiny little nails (with no heads) to better secure the edge pieces to the adjoining LVP pieces, and I used dots of acrylic paint from my art supplies to cover the bitty nail holes. We have never had a problem with them since and we are up and down the stairs many times daily so they get heavy use. Just wanted to mention our experience in case that makes any difference for your decision. I don't regret using it on our stairs. We picked an LVP that coordinates pretty well with our upstairs hardwood in color, just a little more rustic which fits our basement vibe. We didn't want to introduce yet another type of flooring just for the stairs....See MoreNeed help selecting LVP! but also LVP vs Bamboo flooring??
