The salesman says to use a plastic sheet and/or thin foam underlay but offers no persuasive reason to do so other than the floor might be quieter. My subfloor is dry wood over a full basement. I can see no valid reason for the added underlay and expect to install without it unless someone can offer a good reason for its use.

We recently purchased a home that needs extensive remodel work. The first is my kitchen (had to buy a new stove for the island). We need to replace the existing counter top. My problem is that we need to do it now. I thought I saw something on t.v. on using vinyl square tiles on a kitchen counter top. If that could be done, I could have my kitchen up and running. Now, this is just a temporary, quick fix. Possibly using the vinyl counter top for about a year. After that it’s demolishing time and a complete remodel. Thank you!

I wold like to lay a vinyl covering over the old tiles but the pattern may show through in time. If I used a levelling compound then whatever it sets against would be glued into it. Can anyone give me any advice, please?

I have a small space home that is currently carpet (living room) and vinyl flooring in kitchen. I hate carpet and am going to have laminate wood flooring put in, I was also going to have it run into the kitchen…would this be odd?

we want to replace our 13 year old kitchen countertop ( and vinyl flooring) to increase the resale value of our home, but we don’t plan to sell for around 3-4 years, so we don’t want to spend a lot, but we want something that will still look good in a few more years without spending a small fortune for something that we will not be getting a lot of use out of

I am looking at replacing my kitchen floor, which currently has carpeting. (Bought the house like that.) And now I am looking to do either vinyl or tile. I understand tile is good for a lifetime, where as vinyl is good for 15-20 years for the heavier kind, but tile is double the cost. We plan on staying in our house a long time, if not forever, but in the case we would decide to sell, would tile or vinyl give us more value?

I was going to use some wood look vinyl flooring, but after pricing it out, I’m not so sure. I know laminate isn’t right for the kitchen and I hate the feel of tile underfoot. What would you suggest? The kitchen and dining room are connected and there is no wall separating the 2 rooms.
Please and thank you!

Hey all you contractors out there….I need to install flooring in a kitchen that has been gutted. Hardibacker is about the only thing on it now. I have a limited budget, and am willing to get creative. Problem is, I have champagne taste on a beer budget! (Don’t we all?) Laminate is out of the question. I hate it. I like hardwood, but is it considered appropriate for a kitchen? I like stone and tile, but it’s expensive. The concrete flooring I’m seeing is BEAUTIFUL, but I can’t seem to figure out if it’s expensive to have installed, or not. Cork and bamboo, also attractive, but I don’t know how expensive it is. I’m in San Diego, if location has anything to do with it. Thanks for your advice!

We have tile looking vinyl flooring right now. I love my floor but it has to go to add new cabinets, extra wall cabinets and a middle cabinet island. What have others did for their flooring that is easy and not too expensive. We have a good solid wood surface under (1) layer of vinyl flooring to work with. Thanks for any help and answers……

I don’t remember where I saw this but heard that you can use nice vinyl tile flooring for a kitchen backsplash instead of tile. has anyone tried this and did you like the results? What brand and color did you use?
