Vinyl Flooring

Thinking of using vinyl wood "look a like" flooring in a master bed room and fancy parlor. Both would have moderate to heavy traffic. This product would go over a concrete base.

Would you recommend using vinyl in these areas. And which company would you recommend.

Thanks,

Fred

Can you advise me on a product I can purchase in New Zealand that is a liquid similar to varnish or polyurathane that I can wipe onto vinyl or tiles to enhance the shine.
I used to use a product about 15 years ago which was a clear liquid in a clear bottle which you wiped on the vinyl with a cloth.This made the vinyl glow and lasted a couple of months or so. It was sticky on the hands until it dried and I think it was actually called Clear or Cleer but I can not locate it in stores here now.
Thank You. Sheila

would plywood be ok as an underlay for vinyl sheeting?

I have a sunroom with electronic baseboard heat. The vinyl flooring has pulled away from the wall under the heater and bubbles up a bit. I would like to replace the flooring. Should I pull up the old flooring first or try to glue the old down so it doesn't bubble and then put the new on top of it?

I am a commercial flooring estimator and from time to time I get a specification on integral cove base that asks for metal corners (no problem) and metal end-stops. Any idea where I can look to get information on pre-formed metal end stops for integral vinyl base.

Thanks.

Hi Tim,

I am planning on buying vinyl flooring for my kitchen and washroom area. I have brought home many samples for viewing. Can you advise me which flooring you consider the best. I am considering Armstrong flooring or Mannington Sobetta for the kitchen and Taskett flooring or Naturcor for the washroom. I would rather spend the money on something that is good and durable than save money and have problems down the road.

Thank you for your imput.

My daughter says her self-stick vinyl tiles "ooze" adhesive between the tiles. Is that because it's older tile, or do folks still have that trouble. I intend to buy Lowe's or Home Depot boxed tiles. Thanks, Shirley
