Can I reuse materials like blankets and towels for floor protection?

• <div><p>It’s possible to reuse household materials to cover floors, but they won’t provide the same level of protection as dedicated materials. They’re also more difficult to tape down and more prone to slipping and bunching up—and any dirt or debris on them could scratch or stain your floors. That being said, extra materials like these can be useful for protecting the sides of furniture and placing in areas that could use added protection.</p></div>

Is steam mopping better than regular mopping?

• <div><p>Steam mopping might be better than regular mopping if you don’t use the right cleaning products or properly rinse or wring out the mop head. However, if you use the right techniques, regular mopping also sanitizes effectively—even if it takes more effort. Plus, you know you can use a regular mop on any flooring—including to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-laminate-floors.htm">clean laminate floors</a> or hardwood, which don’t do well with steam cleaning.</p></div>

Do carpet tiles stay in place?

• <div><p>Yes. When installed properly, the strong adhesive on carpet tiles keeps them in place while also allowing homeowners the flexibility to peel up an individual tile and replace it if they need to. It’s important to keep in mind that the adhesive on your carpet tiles may take some time to cure, so it’s best to leave them alone for a couple of days after you first install them.</p></div>

Q: Does carpet ruin hardwood stairs?

• <div><p>In most cases, carpeting isn&rsquo;t kind to the wood that it&rsquo;s attached to. Most carpet installation uses adhesive or nailing strips, both of which will damage wood. Conversely, you can choose to use an adhesive designed to be removed from wood, in which case carpeting can actually protect your hardwood stairs.</p></div>

Q: How long do vinyl floors last?

• <div><p>Vinyl flooring comes with different warranty lengths based on the thickness of the layers and the quality of the material. Most include a 20-year warranty. However, you&rsquo;ll need to maintain the floor appropriately and read through the warranty to avoid using any products, tools, or methods that void the warranty. Some warranties, for example, are made void if you use a steam cleaner, even if the floor can withstand the heat and moisture.</p></div>

Very professional job by two conscientious and experienced installers. Yaku and Hunter arrived at 8am and finished by 2:15pm. This was a surprise as I thought it would be an all-day job. Yaku and Hunter were very careful with our home as noted by them laying down covering for flooring from...

Mitch moved our cable, internet, and phone lines to a better location, and he installed 3 phone jacks for land lines in my house. He put the lines right where I wanted them, finishing promptly and even vacuuming up the floor before he left.

When water flows the wrong way in a hydronic floor system, the flow meters clog and restrict the floor. Quite amazing to find that the flow was going in the wrong direction.

They were excellent. The installer was able to level our cement slab. He put the flooring in at a diagonal direction. We love the product and the installation. When a different contractor marred the floor Slaughterbeck came and fixed it on their way to another job.
