Prefinished Hardwood Floor Installation Tips

Are you thinking about updating your home’s flooring sooner or later? Prefinished hardwood floors not only look great but are faster and easier to install than unfinished wood flooring, since they don’t require sanding or finishing. Watch this video for some tips to help you install a prefinished floor flawlessly.

Installing Cement Backer Board on a Wood Subfloor Before Tiling

Ceramic tile makes a durable flooring material that resists moisture and heavy traffic if it’s installed properly. Before installing ceramic tile on a plywood subfloor, it’s important to put down a layer of cement backer board first. It is more dimensionally stable than plywood and forms a better bond with the thin-set adhesive used to glue the tile down.

Floor Tile Options for Your Kitchen or Bath

Tile is a great choice for a kitchen or bathroom floor. Apart from being very tough and can endure even the harshest punishment, it’s also water resistant and perfectly suits your kitchen and bathroom in a snap. Common types of tile include travertine tile, quality ceramic tile, and standard ceramic tile. Watch this video to find out more.

Tools for Sanding Wood Floors

Before finishing new hardwood floors or refinishing existing ones, you need to sand them smooth first. You can get the job done in time at all using either a drum sander or egg sander. Both of these tools can be rented at your local home center but should to be used with caution, since they’re very aggressive and can gouge and damage a floor if you’re not careful.
