Re: FLOORING 58May 30, 2009 8:56 pm cmt You've done well "crazyeyes"! I on the other hand am back at the beginning. Sorry to hear that cmt. I also looked at the Art Select range you mentioned, but I didn't like the surface texture. The salesman called it the "scraped" look - but to me it almost looked like the surface had failed or delaminated, with surface bubbles. In your link to the product on the karndean website - images 3 of 5 and 5 of 5 show the effect the most. http://www.karndean.com.au/site/products.cfm?product_ID=1570 Regards, Craig. Re: FLOORING 59May 30, 2009 10:00 pm At the moment we are looking at the Van gogh again, this is the one we are looking at, looks darker in these photos: http://www.karndean.com.au/site/products.cfm?product_ID=1072 But the Van gogh dosen't have a smooth finish, it has a textured finish, although in this colour, it's not as noticable. But because I like a glossy finish, I'm concerned that once they are polished up they will look "fake" ot just not quite right. Unless I give up the glossy finish and just go for matt. It seems that each product I look at if it has one thing I'm after it doesn't have another! Or maybe I'm just too fussy, although it will be something I have to look at everyday, so I have to like it 100% don't I? Re: FLOORING 60May 30, 2009 11:08 pm cmt: i'm in the same boat as you! I find one thing I like about a certain product.. ie. the slip resistant nature of the armstrong surfaces.. but don't like the colours as much as the others . Or the woodgrain will look quite realistic, and then I don't like the texture.. etc etc.. goes on and on, lol. Good luck! just opened the link.. i really like the antique karri! beautiful. the first one makes it look a bit reddish.. but the others are lighter. will have to look at that in real life. Craig: well done for finding something that you like!! I definately like the wider planks in the armstrong, the wood has more feature to it. I personally really like the look and feel of the floorworks/harmony.. but as you mentioned, I'm not the most fantastic housekeeper either! I will see if i can drag DH down to the floor shop tomorrow. Always good to have some fresh eyes looking at it. Love Kristi Living the dream. 4 horsey acres in the country. What's the next project??? 1000000% definitely add insulation. I have in my home and it makes a big difference minimising sound transfer. Insulation is pretty cheap and definitely worth it 2 6880 Engineering timber is certainly a less fuss option, times cheaper to supply and install and better withstands humidity. 1 16816 Hi there, I'm a conplete newbie to this, but I'm looking to put a floor down in my 6x9m shed.
