Mastic-stained concrete floors: advice needed - re-tile or polish?
Comments (6)Hi, Lazy Gardens -- this is my first House post so my question didn't get in! I have 4 bedrooms where I had a licensed asbestos remediator remove vinyl asbestos tiles. I have 13" cream-colored light gloss ceramic tiles in the rest of the house -- not ready to redo those now, but there's no way to match those tiles. Small Florida home, lots of light in the small bedrooms. I was hoping for terrazzo underneath, but no luck. Retile with 13" tiles like the rest of the house, or larger tiles that are more modern, or get this concrete ground and polished?...See MoreNeed Advice on Floors- Hardwood, Laminate or Tile?
Comments (2)Today's laminate floors are pretty safe - so long as you stick with the high end products ($3/sf or more). In a kitchen, I would still suggest the tile. It is the best product for the area. Laminate flooring should never go in a kitchen/bath. So long as you stick with a privately run flooring company (stay away from Home Depot, etc) and work with the best laminate they carry, you will be just fine. You are looking for flooring that is CARB II compliant. CARB II is the highest level of indoor air quality testing that North America has. Or you can go a step above that and work with a European laminate (Europe has tougher air quality laws than California)....See MoreAdvice needed for 12' x 7.5' bathroom floor tile and shower wall tile
Comments (25)Home Depot is the only place within two hours that sells the pre-fab, and the colors are horrible. I need three bathroom countertops, and the largest is 52". I should be able to find remnants, but I can't even find fabricators who have remnants. Nobody has a website and the fabricators don't advertise, at all. I found six places in Tulsa, but none of them have quartzite remnants. I can only find stone suppliers. I will make a list of suppliers this weekend, and call them on Monday. Maybe they have a list of fabricators near me. Even Google maps didn't have anyone listed near me. They didn't have the two fabricators that are a half hour away from me. What is your opinion on glossy vs honed in a bathroom. My kitchen has leathered Sea Pearl quartzite, and I love it. I prefer matte colors usually, but I doubt I would like leathered bathroom countertops....See MoreNeed advice on floor tile selection
Comments (2)I would say my style is traditional. We live in Middle Tennessee. There are very few days we can use our screened porch because of the heat and humidity here. The sunroom will have a separate heating/air unit, so we will still be able to open the screened windows on the rare days when the weather cooperates....See MoreJoLynn Sundstrom
