Types of Flooring

show me how to lay it

I don't like the videos, either. I'd rather be able to read it. I'm a fan of carpeting. It makes a room cozy, warm, and is quiet under foot. When we moved into our present house, it had all hardwood floors, but they weren't in the best condition so would have needed refinishing. We lived with those floors for a couple weeks and decided they were just too noisy and with my mother living with us who was in her 90's I was a afraid she might slip and fall on the hard floor. My son had his bedroom in the lower level and he said it sounded like a herd of elephants lived above him before we got the carpeting. Berber carpeting is the BEST. It wears well and cleans well. I love my ceramic tile floor in the kitchen, but it's slippery when wet! I have some rugs in the areas that are most likely to get wet such as by the sink and dishwasher.

I hate videos, too. And carpet is nasty. No way you can ever get it really clean.

This guy is full of it. Many of his recomendations are full of false truths and utter falsehoods. Find another site for this information.

REALLY GMC!! Guy doesn't know what he is talking about. First piece of flooring he held up was laminate flooring. A floating floor,not hardwood. Then he held up a piece of VCT (vinyl compostion tile), claiming it was linoleum. When you are making a video to help people out please know what you are talking about first.

ssnugsbug & alalsal7 I agree with you. Written articles would be extremely nice. I have slow download speed so the videos download slowly and jerkily making them very frustrating to watch, so I generally don't. In fact, I didn't finish watching this video for that very reason.

I just can't figure out why hardwood floors are so popular. They are cold to your feet when you step out of bed in the morning, For me there is no particular beauty like you can have with carpet, if they are scratched you have to hire someone to repair it or work really hard to try to fix it yourself, it is very expensive, can be very slippery for an infant learning to walk, etc. I much prefer linoleum, tile, and almost any other floor covering over hardwood floors. I also like a change every so often and get tired of the same old, same old appearance. I also love carpet because of the nice way it feels when I walk on it, or step out of bed onto it. I say linoleum for the kitchen, baths, or activity rooms. Carpet for the bedrooms, living rooms, offices, and anywhere that real comfort matters, plus if you get tired of it, it can be changed whenever you wish to change the atmosphere around you. Doesn't that make sense?

I am sick of videos. I want to read an article for a change. I could watch it but will not.

Sure would appreciate it if these videos would be accompanied by written text, for the enlightenment of those of us who, for varied reasons, can't hear the audio. Thanks.
