A wet radiant flooring installation uses a concrete pad and typically stays warm longer than a conventional installation without a pad. As a medium, concrete has low conductivity. (It dissipates heat slowly.)

Sloping floors are most often caused by normal deflection, or bend, in the wood joists, which end up compromising the entire structure of the floor. In general, you can expect to find more sloping in older homes.

Warped or sagging hardwood floors are usually a direct result of moisture or humidity being present under or near the floorboards. We offer complete repair of your flooring as part of our refinishing services.

A significant advantage of polyaspartic flooring is the versatility and adaptability. For example, the coating can be applied under widely variable temperatures on surfaces registering as low as -30 degrees F or as high as 140 degrees F.

PEX pipe is finding its way into many flooring systems, due to its inherent strength and flexibility. Unlike most pipe, PEX expands as many as three times its original diameter without cracking or splitting, so it’s extremely resistant to pressure, stress, and leaks.

In order to make the best possible selection of flooring tiles for your kitchen, it’s a good idea to bring color samples of your wall paint and cabinet stain. This can help ensure a seamless and polished look after installation.

To keep your marble floors in the best possible condition, regular upkeep is important. Be sure to promptly remove any large pieces of debris that may end up scratching the surface, and be sure to have it sealed annually.

Middle Age Cistercian monks didn't have electric water pumps, but they did have rivers. Monasteries like Royal Monastery of Our Lady of the Wheel would divert rivers for plumbing, waste disposal, and heating.

Epoxy flooring is great for areas where slipping is a risk because it is slip resistant. It is often recommended for bathroom flooring for the elderly due to this very quality.

When it comes to radiant flooring, you have a couple different choices for your systems. The first is a hot water system, where the heat comes from hot water circulating in pipes. The second is an electric system that uses wires and cables for heat. Air systems are also available, but these are less efficient.

Homes are not the only places where exotic hardwoods are an excellent flooring choice. Commercial office space can also benefit from their installation. These locations command (and deliver) higher rents and longer tenancy.

The bottom line is, hydronic radiant floor systems are much more efficient that forced air systems. This is in part because a given volume of water can hold almost 3,500 times as much heat as the same volume as air for the same temperature rise.
