Experienced installers make flooring installation look easy
Type of material influences the
complexity of flooring installation. An experienced installer makes
any task look easy, including cutting a brittle material like
porcelain or matching a carpet design. But more difficult jobs take a
longer time to complete. While most floors can be walked on the same
day they are installed, others are off-limits to homeowners for a
more extended period. Genoa Custom Interiors is a flooring company in
Genoa, OH, that boasts a top-notch installation team. Our installers
can handle even the most challenging jobs.
Hardwood
Traditional unfinished and prefinished
solid hardwood flooring is nailed to a wood subfloor. The on-site
installation process can take up to two weeks. Floors finished in the
home have a flush look, while factory-finished floors have a beveled
look. Engineered wood consists of a hardwood layer and a base plywood
layer. Planks connect so a floating floor can be constructed.
Natural stone
As with hardwood, you can have a
one-of-a-kind floor if you choose natural stone. Marble, granite,
travertine, and limestone are popular quarried stones. Stones are
pressed into a mortar and then connected with grout. Likely, a new
floor will take two or three days to dry. Since most stones are
porous, the floor must be resealed periodically.
Ceramic and porcelain
To install ceramic and porcelain tile,
the backer board is placed on top of a wood subfloor. Then, tiles are
attached to the backer board with mortar, and gaps between the tiles
are filled with grout. Like a natural stone floor, a tile floor takes
more than one day to dry. Glass mosaic tile, an alternative to
ceramic or porcelain tile, is available on mesh sheets for easier
installation.
Laminate and luxury vinyl
Man-made laminate and luxury vinyl
planks and tiles mimic natural materials. Laminate has a fiberboard
core, so floors are warm underfoot every season. Waterproof luxury
vinyl flooring offers maximum durability. Most planks have
interlocking edges, so floors float over the subfloor. Some tiles
also require no attachment to a subfloor, but others are designed to
be glued down.
