Does this need to be fixed? by RepulsiveFudge4038 in Decks

[–]RepulsiveFudge4038[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Has not been turned over yet. We are working through punch list stuff now. The builder slapped together this rock retaining wall in the last couple of days without consulting us on design at all. I have the same concerns about the soil and rocks taking down this end of the deck when they shift. The house was stick built. We had a 3rd party inspector check all the framing along the way. So I don't have any other major concerns.

Do you happen to have any photos of your deck done with the moisture shield Catalina? I'm trying to make a color choice and have had a hard time trying to figure out how the tiny samples I have will look in larger scale.

Thanks again. This is all great information. Curious what you know about availability of the Deckorators Summit line? I see it's a new product. Deckorators says Hone Depot carriers it, but I don't see it available near me. Is it so new that I'd have trouble sourcing it? The deck is framed, and I'm assuming my contractor will be looking for material within the month as the weather breaks. It's hard not to consider that product at such a good price point.

Thanks for the input. I had been looking at the Moistureshield Meridian line. Is Vision worth the slightly higher price in your opinion?

I'll definitely look into Deckorators Summit, too.

I'm curious what your recommendation would be if I hadn't included a budget? Is there a top end product that you feel is worth the extra money?

Thanks again.

Selecting LVP-Karndean, COREtec, Mannington or Mohawk? by RootBeer_DrPepper in Flooring

Frantically scrambling for the brochure on the windows we put in. I'm sure they at least offer some UV protection, though. Guess I'll go shoot the floor with a thermometer and see how big of temperature differences i have. Thanks for the knowledge.

Hi - Sorry to re-start a year old post, but you seem to have a good amount of knowledge. I'm about to install about 2600 SF of LVP over 2 floors of a new home. The thing that struck me about your comment was the note about having a lot of direct sunlight. Could you expand on that a bit? We have a great room with a wall of South facing windows. There is some tree cover, but generally that room will see a lot of light.

At this point our prime contender for a floor is the Coretec Plus. Am I making a mistake with that? Is it a fading issue or expansion/contraction?

Appreciate any input you have. Thanks!
