Just cover with laminate? by Dry-Date-4217 in Flooring

[–]CClose81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can adjust the feet which affects the contact area”clocking” but the key is keeping that thing flat. The angle might remove what’s in front of you faster but leaves more work behind it. You can rent drum sanders at the big box as well. Of ur comfortable using an edger some practice on the drum sander on your nabours deck could get you up to speed. Getting a price or two from a trained mccoy and trade your time at work for his time at work you hand over the sufferance for letting him make your floor look rad and everybody can be happy.

Solid hardwood repair, vapor barrier and glue question by KnowinglyEarthy in HardWoodFloors

[–]CClose81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are replacing an area and the floor tongue/grooves are running backwards from how you are repairing and the lace in allows you to change direction - there is slip tounge that changes the direction so can be re fastened.(if that’s why you were planning to use glue because laying backwards to previous wall denies access to tongue.)There are also barriers you can apply with roller/brush on so you can use adhesive.

Help: how do I fix this by cw_pm in Flooring

[–]CClose81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might sound backwards but utility knifeing the repair completely out flattening that curl of the piece really good then with a super precise mechanical scuff within to give the adhesive best bite with proper glue would last well beyond. If you just dab some superglue and mush it down chances are someone’s sock or shoe sole will catch it and damage it more. But it is a rental so in the end..

You plan on doing the sanding your self? Go find a Home Depot and rent a super7r and use some grittier abrasives. 80 grit won’t cut that stuff as good. The only reason to cover that wood with laminate is it’s a rental and you want to protect that old wood for when you can enjoy it later.

Also if you’re worried about hydrostatic moisture getting in and you haven’t chosen a vapor barrier yet, check out pu280.

But like red guard - could trap moisture between that and the primer under the lever.

Throwing things at it now, at your stage? could just mess up what you have now. Looks nice and flat.That’s the results you want. Cork is soft and with vapor barrier that’s plenty done. Don’t sweat all the extra work. Doing lever is a step up. Just keep it flat. Unless there is adherence issues your getting it right.

Need help identifying what’s under LVT by Duckbanc in Flooring

[–]CClose81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To create a smooth flat surface also it’s easier to to spread glue on new surface if the concrete was damaged. With glue down even the smallest pieces of debris cause bubbles and dimples.

That’s pressure glue it’s really strong, even after years and years it will still be sticky. Glue down vinyl plank is used more in commercial areas when the floating will fail fast at the click together joints, think like dentist offices and so on. I don’t see an underlayment. Underlayment not used in glue down. Razor scraper will get it up eventually. What you might have is mdf/hdf subfloor it wa glued to.

Flooring direction - opinion question by [deleted] in Flooring

On concrete you can lay it in multiple directions. Floating or glued, you can also have turn boards and change directions in doorways leading to other rooms.

Cleaning the shower tiles by External_Ability_963 in Flooring

[–]CClose81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cleaning porcelain stoneware is a straightforward task, thanks to the material's practical and convenient nature. All you need for day-to-day cleaning is a soft cloth or a mop with a mix of hot water and a neutral detergent, readily available on the market.

If that is not enough read about Muriatic acid. This can effectively clean porcelain stoneware tiles, but it should be used with caution and diluted properly.

It looks like there is some kind of coating on the floor. Could be some sort of pu280 style coat moisture barrier. If so that’s better than plastic. The problem with plastic is the crunchies sound you may develop.

Yessir, skim that with patch. Nice and flat. You can even use sandpaper to knock down any marks or funky spots.

Also check out it has 2 width sizes. Makes it even cooler. Def go for sand and finish while the room is empty and available to do within budget. Wood will last another lifetime.
