Yes you can use it in the kitchen or anywhere else you would put a wood floor normally. ----- Original Message ----- From: aadorno1 To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, April 01, 2008 10:24 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] snap together flooring
Hi I would like to know if this floor be used for kitchens as well? thanks so much. ----- Original Message ----- From: Scott Howell To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, April 01, 2008 5:32 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] snap together flooring Folks, I've read several bits of info etc. on this list regarding the flooring that you need no glue, screws, and the like, or at least I've read about folks doing flooring projects. So, I guess my question is simply this. My understanding with regard to the click together or snap together flooring is that you do the following. Now, for the sake of argument, you have a ten by ten room. You get your pieces which are lets say 55 inches a piece. I assume it doesn't matter which way you lay the wood, but something tells me you'd want to lay the pieces parallel to the doorway. Then you take your first 55 inch piece, lay that within a quarter inch of the wall, then you take a shorter piece and butt that against the piece you just laid down. So, basically you have for the sake of argument, a 55 inch piece with lets say a 35 inch piece butted against it. You keep working your way across the room and butt these pieces such that you have a 55 inch piece with a 35 inch piece next to it. This is so for every long piece you lay, you put the short one next to it so thelong and short pieces are alternating across the room. Apparently there are some spacers you place along the edge of the room I assume that holds stuff in place? In any even, does this sound right and then how do you deal with a doorway. how do you typically deal with a transition from carpet of a bedroom to the flooring in a hall or at the top of a flight of stairs? Any advice appreciated. My wife and I have discoverd that with 3 dogs, the trouble of keeping the carpet clean and paying someone to come once a year and really get it clean is better served by putting in the flooring. Apparently you can get some that is pretty durable and will tollerate the dogs nails well. Of course we keep the nails trimmed, but they do run on occation around the house. Luckily for me not often, they'd really tear the place apart. tnx Scott Howell [EMAIL PROTECTED] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
