Flooring install question(s)
Comments (1)Man. Thats a shame. They could at LEAST made the filler color match better. Nope dont let themglue ANY Thing. Defeats the point of a floating floor They dont want to do it because the amount of work it takes to replace a row. If it was just the nail hole id say youre being a little obsessive. But the scratches are unacceptable. Especially when it was their fault. If they are really good they could attempt to sand the scratches out. I understand its floating but it can be done by a good pro. Keep on their butts hopefully you havent paid them yet....See MoreTile floor question for those who have tile floors
Comments (10)Thanks all. We literally layed out all the tile last night. We layed out the insert also and glad we did. We discovered that it caused the first row of tile to be layed a certain way so that the staggered look could flow properly. We also decided to start the staggered look at the foyer, horizontal to the door. Where the foyer turns we will lay a decorative strip to divide where the two patterns meet. Then we will start the stagger at the garage door, also horizontal. When you stand at the T in the hall/foyer you can see the horizontal staggered pattern at both doorways. By having the stagger in hall be at the turn in foyer rather than ending at the T, it allows the hall to look bigger. Having the transitional decorative strip at the T seemed to chop the hall off too much. From way up on the stairs looking down at the tile, the strip looks good. The bath and laundry will now have a staggered look rather than a diamond angle. I will post pics when done. Magothyrivergirl- Hope you read my post in fireplaces about the paint issue I had with KozyHeat. It was a nightmare that at least got resolved. Considering a granite tile fell off wall onto the back of my head, resulting in several staples- ouch!- I was not pleased to come across this paint issue. But in the end it looks really nice. I will post pics of that once I get he floors all done....See MoreKahrs/Stuga flooring reviews
Comments (3)SJ, I am super thankful for your input. I just got Kahrs floor delivered to be installed and stumbled on this thread. Hubby who actually knows quite a bit about HVAC systems says that temperatures and humidity are frequently misunderstood. We used to have hardwood floors in our old house and while our doors will have a tighter fit in summer and be lighter in winter floors are still going strong at house built 1951. Of course they do not built them like this anymore. My new house has hmidifier function on furnace set at 35% but hubby says it is only adds to inefficiency of the system? Our summers in Chicago are humid. Hubby states if air conditioner is oversized it will lower temp without taking humidity out and upper floor still will be different as all humidity will go down to lower level. So generally upper level floor does not need to be dehumidified but ground level or basement does. We also had split level air conditioner that allows to remove humidity without changing temperatures much. Is this something you generally agree with? To the OP- I will let you know in a couple weeks what my new floor looks like. I went with Kahrs because it is oldest company with great records and DIY friendly. My floors arrived packaged in a plastic and they do not recommend opening them up, few had tear on the plastic so I covered it up with loose sheet of plastic as Kahrs recommends sealing it back till ready to use....See MoreStuga Engineered hardwood??
Comments (15)I had Stuga floors installed about five years ago. They look terrible now. They are in my secondary residence that I do no rent out; I am only there about once per month. We don't wear shoes. We dyson everynight before bed. And yet, they look filthy. They look blotchy, the "patina" isn't consistent all over the floors. I called the company and for the last six months we have been working on solutions. They suggested I try a Bona Power Scrub. I spent $3500 on this power scrub. I took time off work, flew to my vacation home, removed all furniture from my entire home all for zero improvemenet and am out $3500. The owner sent a floor specialist to test the floors of my home and they chalked it all up to natural patina. Even on their website they discuss how a patina is supposed to make things look more beautiful. My floors just look embarassingly dirty. The prosepect of again moving all my furniture out and investing in all new floors.....overwhelming. Funny how none of the neighbors suffer from these types of issues with their wood floors. Stuga looked pretty on day one, but ultimately I suggest you all choose something else. Choose a different floor for sure. Devastating....See MoreRelated Professionals
