Particle board flooring mess - help?
Comments (1)If you don't want to put down ceramic, you can install "luan" and use Ardex to "flash" and feather the joints and THEN put in vinyl....See MoreSomeone had glued down particle board in my house
Comments (4)My installers we such troopers. They thought that taking up the particle board was going to be quick (if it was screwed down only). It took the better part of a day. They had thought it would take a day. It took two days to do the job. The installer had quoted me only $150 to take up the particle board. I was scared all day as to what he was going to adjust the cost to. Well the amazing thing is that he didn't increase the price. It stay exactly the same. I gave him an extra $100 because of the floor. So now my floor is in and it looks better than I could have ever imagined....See MoreJSI Cabinets (Looking for affordable, White, non-particle board)
Comments (40)All the JSI RTA Cabinets I put in had "Made in Vietnam" stickers. This was late 2020. Two doors were warped and two doors of a mismatched chamfer, but Walcraft is great at sending replacements. I have issues with their assembly style, (you have to get your angle bracket screws dead centered with no pre-drill to keep them square) most seemed to be decent quality, but a bit of slop in the tolerances took a bit of extra finagling to assemble a few of the cabinets properly. PS - love the ~1/2" plywood backs, made it easy to put way too many screws into the studs!...See MoreHigh end European kitchens are particle board???
Comments (26)PLYWOOD - Thin layers of wood veneer glued together alternating the grain of the wood for strength. - Plywood possesses a cross-grain pattern and much stronger and more durable than particleboard. - Plywood is more water resistant than particle board. - Holds nails and screws well. - Physically lighter than particle board. - More expensive than particle board. - Environmentally friendly. PARTICLE BOARD & MDF (MDF - Medium Density Fibreboard is made from smaller particles and particle board larger.) - Wood fibers glued and pressed together. - Gives a smoother surface allowing laminates to be added easily and giving a better finish. - Can swell when exposed to moisture. - Brittle and may not hold nails and screws well. - Physically heavier than plywood. - Cheaper than plywood. - Even more environmentally friendly than plywood....See MoreHU-767631602
