Painted Concrete Floor

I ripped out an old wheelchair ramp and made our mudroom a welcoming place to enter. I used two different colors of paint to make a diamond pattern on the floor. More details (including ...»
how I prepped the concrete) are on my blog.

Paper Bag Floors

If you are in need of new flooring but don't have much money to spend (or even if you do) then this fits the bill! I created this floor out of brown paper, Elmers glue, stain and ...»
polyurethane. It was easy to do (albeit time consuming) and is very durable. This room is 10 X 12 and cost about $80, but future rooms will cost about $30 since I have plenty of leftover supplies.

doors before floors?

apparently so......I learned this today the hard way. Got laminate floors installed in July, and THEN decided I wanted new interior doors. I love my doors, which were installed today, ...»
BUT, since the floors were installed first, I now have a gap or two where the new frame doesn't cover the flooring. I am posting this for someone questioning which order to do this in. The funny thing is, my coworker and I just had this discussion this summer because she was doing both at the same time.

I now have to call back the flooring installer and hope he can do something for me that doesn't involve pulling up the floor and recutting. (which will not happen as far as I am concerned.) I did go purchase a new threshold and something called Pergo Sealant, which I may have to resort to to fill the gaps.

    floor to the wall then replace them or you add some beading to the gap to stop it being a gap - obviously things in the UK are very different than in the US.

How To Refinish a Commercial Tile Floor to Look Like New

First we color sealed the grout line to make them all look uniform, with our standard color gray. After we were done sealing the grout lines, we then applied our Enhancer Seal to brighten the look of the tile and make the floor look brand new!

    We used an alkaline based cleaner with a black polish pad and scrubbed the grout with a grout brush. After you simply apply Grout Shield's Color Sealant and Enhancer Seal.
