When we redid my floor my dad and brother cut my rug. I think they cut to much of it though. My dad says I need to buy a carpet trim for the transition but the biggest I can find is 2 inches wide but it doesn't seem wide enough.
Dealing with floor cleaning can sometimes be a burden, especially if you are unsure as to how to approach it. Some people consider it even more difficult if you have to do it in an eco-friendly manner, since you won't have all those convenient chemicals to do all the hard work for you. But chemicals are hardly something you want on your floors, so maybe the green way is better. If you do want to use the more difficult, but healthier house cleaning method, here is what you need to know and do:

Hi, guys! I hope somebody can help me to find answers for my questions. I have installed laminate floorings by contractor. I was so stupid to trust him in choice of brand of laminate. Now this laminate all peaking, buckling, chipping and it's just less then half a year old! Awful. I wrote a letter to him asking to fix all problems. So what is the best choice? To ask manufacturer to give another material to install, buy a new one (but it costly and we don't have enough money) and contractor will...
From the years of installing laminate flooring, I would say that laminate flooring that utilizes the Uniclic locking system are some of the easiest to install. Not all laminate flooring connect in the same way. The Uniclic system is very easy to work with especially for the do it yourself consumer. Some brand names include: Quick Step, Columbia and Mohawk laminate flooring. When shopping for laminate flooring look for the Uniclic name on the box to make sure you are purchasing an installer...
I'm starting a laminate tile installation next Thursday. I thought I will show what is involved from start to finish. It's going in a kitchen and two bathrooms. There is ceramic tile in these rooms now and I'm installing the laminate tile right over the ceramic tile. The problem with the ceramic tile is it has white grout and my client can't keep the grout clean.
If you want to install laminate flooring on your stairs I would recommend that you do a lot of research and find the information you will need to do it correctly. Installing laminate flooring on stairs can be tedious and time consuming and is a lot different than installing laminate flooring on a floor.
This laminate flooring is very impressive as far as the surface is concerned. My client actually used a sharp screw and tried to scratch it, and we could not see anything. It is rated as a AC3 which is mid grade as the grading system is from AC1 to AC 5, 5 being the best.
Laminate tile is great if you want the look of ceramic tile without the hassle of grout joints that get dirty and look bad over time. Laminate tile will last a very long time and maintain it's new look.
If your installing your own laminate flooring, you may need to under cut some door jambs. Cutting your own door jambs with a hand saw is the least expensive way. You can rent or purchase an electric jamb saw if you prefer. In my opening photo is a door jamb hand saw, which can be purchased for under 20.00 at the big box stores. When installing laminate flooring the laminate needs to be able to slide under the door jambs so it appears that the door jambs are installed on top of the laminate...
Quick Step is one of the best laminates on the market. We finished a job today where we installed the Quick Step in a mobile home. Its one of Quick Steps less expensive styles. It is still a quality floor with the pad attached on the back. It beats a lot of other brands in this price range. The cost is between 1 and 2 dollar a foot. You can't go wrong with Quick Step laminate flooring.
