"We are very happy with our new (9/8/23) Fortress Floor. From the inquiry, the quoting process, scheduling, and installation the Fortress Floors Midwest team was outstanding. Each step was well managed by professional people and we got great results. Our job was a fairly simple two car garage that we actually use to park cars. The original concrete was pitted, the aggregate was coming up, and the concrete dust was overwhelming. The new floor fixed all of that and we can do simple new things like adding a fridge or a freezer and even walking barefoot in the garage again! We no longer track dust and pebbles into the house and we already see the difference inside. Probably most impressive was the teamwork across sales, scheduling, and installation. The small group we worked with: Amy, Michelle, and Jarrod and his team of two were fantastic. It is probably a small business thing, but they do seem to be organized to get projects done. Amy even brought donuts for the installation team on the morning of our job! It says that they work well together and they certainly get great results. We would recommend Fortress Floors Midwest to anyone with a coating job of any kind. We already have twice this week!"

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts

New flooring costs quite a bit, so longevity is important to think about. Concrete generally has the longest life span, but it’s not always a good solution for homes with wooden subfloors. That said, hardwood floors and stone floors can last up to 100 years, and you can refinish or restore them to remove imperfections from daily wear.

Not every type of flooring is well suited to a wood stove. However, ceramic or stone tiles are good choices since they are durable, heat-resistant, and easy to clean. Softer flooring options, like carpet, could be damaged by the heat produced by a wood stove—or even create a fire hazard.

There are a few different types of finishes to choose from for the final step of the project. 

Water-based polyurethane sealants emit fewer odors and fumes but dry quickly, which can pose a challenge when trying to get a smooth coat. Oil-based polyurethane sealants let out more odors and fumes into the air (it’s especially important to wear a respirator if you choose this type), but they take longer to dry, which can be more forgiving during the finishing step. 

Some may prefer wood oil to polyurethane because rather than creating a layer, it becomes part of the wood. Wood oil takes longer to dry, and is less resistant to wear and tear; however, it creates a natural-looking result by enhancing the grain of the wood. 

DIY is possible for small areas. Professional installation ensures proper stretching and a polished finish.

Start the first row of vinyl planks along the longest or most visible wall in the room. This will create a clean, straight foundation row to build off of. Snap a chalk line to guide the first row, and use spacers for the most precise installation—these maintain an even extension gap between the flooring planks and the wall. Finally, double-check that the first row is level before moving on to the second row. If it’s not, start over and get it right before completing the rest of the floor.
