    I'm really late to this party but I wanted to say I LOVE me some Allure! About 1 1/2 years ...»
    ago I had Allure (Mahogany) installed in one of my bathrooms. I can't comment on the installation process because the guy who did my bathroom remodel installed it as part of the bathroom reno but I'm 200% pleased with the Allure. I do know your subfloor needs to be as smooth and debris-free as possible or the vinyl will show those imperfections. If I could, I would rip up every bit of the expensive laminate flooring we put down in other parts of the house 2 1/2 years ago and replace it with Allure. It's so easy to care for, it's soft and quiet underfoot, it's water resistant, it's inexpensive, and it looks beautiful!

    Hi Sherry, Tile adhesive is usually black and gummy, carpet glue is generally yellow/white and ...»
    brittle. Each requires a different emulsion to break down and remove. Its a very invasive process. Unless you get it all off, (and I mean out of the pores as well), your stain may not "take". Are you using reactive stains? (acid stain)? They are not a good choice post carpet/tile. Your best bet, post glue, for the diy'er is a solid color, solvent based floor stain/sealer like what you can get at Sherwin Williams. Taking this on as a "decorative concrete" project is not for the diy'er when you are starting with a base of glue(s). Even the pros dislike removing glue but unless its ALL gone, whatever you do on top of it will fall apart quickly. Good Luck !

    of moisture that can get in the carpet, then you have mold problems, which if bad enough, can cause respritory issues Also if folks have allergies it can be bad news
