Marmoleum click in kitchen, or cork?
Comments (5)Click linoleum has issues at the joints. They are sitting on a fibre board core. You can get around this by using a SEAM SEALER at the time of install. It is a silicone based sealant (do NOT use calking) that is applied directly to the tongue of every plank. It takes 24 hours to cure (pretty good). It will make the floor water RESISTANT but not FLOOD proof (there are very few floors that are flood proof - tile/stone and concrete are the only three). The cork floating floors have an added benefit - they can be site finished once they are installed. In a kitchen, they are clicked together (no seam sealer) and then two coats of polyurethane are applied over the floor. Wait 5-10 days for it to cure...and voila you have water resistant floor. Cork floors, when finished in a traditional water based polyurethane (not a cheap urethane or an Aluminum Oxide urethane) can be refreshed every 7-10 years or so....which means a bit of wear through to the cork can be remedied by reapplication of the top coat. Done like dinner for another 7 years. Remember: NOTHING is "flood proof" until you get into tile (porcelain/ceramic/stone) or concrete. Everything else has issues. Even the vinyl planks have issues (mold growth can be hard to get rid of if the water sits for 2-3 days....and the effort it takes to "SAVE" the vinyl is more than most people can handle...they just get the insurance company to pay/install a new floor)....See MoreMCM flooring advice / Marmoleum
Comments (7)I have no clue where the cork idea came from. I would however suggest you deal with the lighting before making any choices and that kitchen needs some serious work . I have a MCM ranch and we redid the entire house to work with how we live . We kept the windows, the huge fireplace but we actually switched the the kitchen for the DR and kept the rest of the layout just new drywall and doors . IMO you can keep the essense of the style but just bring it into this century. I think marmoleum is a great choice in that space but i would like to know what the rest of the flooring is. BTW we had that exact flooring in the kitchen of the house when we bought it. This is a pic of our LR and reworked kitchen. We actually put laminate that looks like slate all through the main floor living spaces since we have huge dogs ....See MoreNeed color advise on Marmoleum Click checkboard floor tile!
Comments (7)@Beth Thank you for the photos! I was worried about the Barbados clashing as well. The white cliffs doesn't come in the 12 x 12 unfortunately. Our kitchen is pretty small so I was trying to stick with the checkerboard and the Click options don't have a true white. Are the photos you included Marmoleum? I can't figure out the colors....See MorePaint colors to match new floors in Dining Room and Kitchen
Comments (0)Hello all: We recently had Durato BeanTown LVP installed throughout our whole house. Now we're getting all our rooms painted in different phases. Phase 1 is the Kitchen and Dining Room which flow into each other. Our painter uses Sherwin Williams. Doors, trim and all moldings will be SW Extra White semi-gloss. I'm leaning toward the following SW paint colors and could use any input. Trying to avoid being too "matchy matchy" but also want to ensure an even flow of colors. -- Macadamia -- Shitake -- Loggia -- Tumbling Tumbleweed -- Dirty Martini -- Kilim Beige -- Latte Thanks!!...See Moresnappity
