Re: Floating Timber Floors - What brands are available 16Aug 12, 2010 8:55 am Dollar Hi Lex its a water based finished I think but would need to check with other half. Yes there is timber that meets carpet and height difference which I CANNOT stand the sight of HOWEVER I know someone who renovated recently and their floor "sinks" down-carpet is lower than the timber which I think looks worse. What is floor transition? You mean the height? Thanks, $! With transition I meant where one type of flooring adjoins / flows into another ... like your carpet, or my (future) timber / tile. Would you mind taking a few shots of that join that you have and posting it for me, especially from an angle so that the height can be seen? What is your height difference, is it too much? I'm thinking that our floors should not be more than 10mm different, but it's all up to the installers, they can stuff it up or make it even better. Plus, ours is not in 2 different rooms, it's in the same room (kitchen flowing into family), which is much worse!!! My signature is distracting people from my wise posts ... Re: Floating Timber Floors - What brands are available 17Aug 12, 2010 10:56 am Ooh Lex I'd def ensure they allow enough room to ensure they have the same heights. You do not want any joining recesses in these areas. You'd think they'd know how to do it but it can be so tricky sometimes.

The chairs have the little nail in felt pads and get vacuumed/wiped often too. That is the problem. nail on pads. Glue them on ,not nail. Bit late now though.

There are no exposed 'nails' as such, just the felt pad that has a 'spike' that goes into the end of the chair leg. I don't think I would be that stupid to leave exposed nails under the chair legs on a wooden floor... Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ As I said before, these get cleaned often and it's not the problem. The problem is the coating on the floor scratches so much easier than solid sanded and polished floors (which I lived with for 12 years and NEVER had this probelm...). Henley - Wilshire Mk 3 ...

I make my own pads - super cheap and easy. In this house I've actually doubled them up for the most frequently used chairs. My signature is distracting people from my wise posts ... Thanks Simon, I guess I'm no concerned with the volume of the noise rather that dead and hollow sound and feel that is associated with floating floors. But I'm not sure… 3 6311 Thank you fro your response, Simeon. It is good to hear that you have had a positive experience with Parisi. I am always on the lookout for reliable products, and personal… 2 4443 Thanks, that's the motivation I needed to give it a try sooner rather than one day! 4 3212 |
