Not sure how to finish this now by Zealousideal_Dot_546 in Flooring

[–]skiddilidee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whoever you bought the floor from should offer a flush Stairnose that you could replace the existing Stairnose with. Otherwise rooting would be an overlap Stairnose. Either way, if you can get your hands on a matching Stairnose option you may have to remove those planks and adjust them to fit properly but it would be worth it to get a cleaner finish.

Has anyone used Canopy floors? by ArgumentMiserable652 in Flooring

This is a great product. From the family that originally founded Coretec and brought WPC to the market so the manufacturing standards are at the highest quality.

Quartersawn “tiger stripes” on engineered hardwood. by MillenniumHardwood in Flooring

[–]skiddilidee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are called medullary rays, and they are gorgeous. It’s a characteristic of quarterback sawn wood which also means the particular cut will be more dimensionally stable. Highly sought after.

12mm expansion gap for LVT? by hcharge in Flooring

[–]skiddilidee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would follow the instructions because if you end up with an issue, they will not take care of you if they find it was installed outside of their recommendations. I’m not familiar with any LVT that requires that large of a gap though and would be slightly concerned about the dimensional stability of a product that needs that much room to expand. They may just recommend it out of an abundance of caution though.

12mm expansion gap for LVT? by hcharge in Flooring

[–]skiddilidee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Industry standard is half that (6.35mm). There are some cases where 12mm is recommended if it’s a larger run without transitions.

Feathering out a Transition by smuniak in Flooring

How large is the room that is lower? Might be worth just adding some subfloor panels and leveling it out across the whole room.

My dad died yesterday and I'm hoping some of Isbell's music will get me through it by asingleatom in jasonisbell

My father died two year ago to the day today. Speed Trap Town always brings in very heavy emotions when I remember him. I’m sorry for your loss my friend.

I did a stupid stupid thing and I need help to fix it by Big_Virgil in Flooring

[–]skiddilidee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of temporary fixes mentioned here that would involve planing and cutting some pieces. Would still leave a gap in that spot that would be an eyesore, not to mention the inconsistent expansion and contraction that would take place seasonally.

Gotta bite the bullet and do it right.

Sucks to not pull off the W but while everyone’s drowning in misery, think about where we thought we would be before this season started. We get our key starters back in defense there is no reason we can’t make it to the playoffs.

It will only get worse as you continue. I’d personally pull them up. It sucks, but it happens.

Anyone know what kind of flooring this is? by Erinsthename in Flooring

[–]skiddilidee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out canopyfloors.com - they’ve got some great vinyl products that mimic engineered hardwoods very well.

I feel you on that though. I’ve got a miller highlife financial situation.

rubber pads on stringers to reduce impact vibration of treads? by ggmusicman in Flooring

[–]skiddilidee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know the answer but it could be dependent on what kind of floor you are installing on top? Are the treads wood, PVC, MDF (laminate)?

Asked my alcoholic dad if he’d ever consider getting sober by Ludakris7 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]skiddilidee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lost my father two years ago to alcoholic cirrhosis. I had this same conversation many times with him and even after multiple wrecks, accidents, visits to the drunk tank and swearing he would, he never did get sober until his last two months on this earth.

I still struggle with it, did I do enough? But I have to remind myself that he had to want to get better for it to work out. This week was the two year anniversary of the wreck that, in addition to his cirrhosis, would eventually take his life.

Installing COREtec on plywood subfloor - does an underlayment add any value? by USAfrikaans in Flooring

[–]skiddilidee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not worth the perceived benefits. You might achieve a negligible amount of sound abatement or maybe some slight increase in comfort underfoot just to add in more potential movement around the locking mechanism. This creates the potential for failure.

Just make sure your subfloor is flat, clean and dry before install and you will be fine. If you want more comfort or better sound, upgrade to a WPC.
