Vinyl flooring flood.

3 years ago

last modified: 3 years ago

Hello folks and happy New Year. Around two weeks ago my ground-floor was completely flooded with water coming from a pipe inside the house. My current flooring is vinyl (wood finish) with underfloor heating. It doesn't seem to have experience any damage or anything. Do you think I might have any issues in the future with the glue or anything? The concrete underneath the floor, bellow the kitchen cabinets feels a bit wet, you can feel the humidity by touching it.Thanks,Pit

Love this kitchen! How about these? https://www.houzz.com/discussions/what-kind-of-tile-flooring-is-this-tha-dsvw-vd~83683 I like the rectangle shape. This tile floor that has a slate look is also attrective: https://www.houzz.com/discussions/are-these-tile-floors-and-if-so-what-are-dsvw-vd~77150 I would like wood. How about oak floor stained to match the cabinets? Or a white wash stain?

You should have a professional installer in your area take a look at your home so you can discuss what end result you are wanting. You may need to use an engineered wood. This is still an all wood product and is much more dimensionally stable than solid wood. This is a huge advantage if you are in an older home or in the midwest where humidity levels can drastically change from season to season. A solid wood will cup or curl if humidity and moisture levels are not managed. Your installer should do a moisture test before installation to make sure the installation does not fail. All warranties will be voided if this step is not taken. Also, your transitions will need to be considered. Is the new wood floor going to butt up to tile, carpet, or vinyl? The height difference in the two products will need to be taken into consideration. You will have a greater selection of thicknesses in the engineered woods. Engineered wood should be several plys, all wood. If you choose a solid wood, the hand scraped versions are fantastic for a high traffic area with children. Hickory, Red Oak, most Brazilian Species, and even Bamboo are hard enough to take everyday traffic and still look terrific. Good luck!

Hi Cherry, we went with the laminate throughout the house and it turned out absolutely stunning. To be honest it's such good quality I don't think of it as laminate and everyone who visits thinks it's solid wood. It won't look like laminate if it's a good quality brand and you use a thick underlay. Using it throughout the house makes the rooms flow and makes the spaces feel bigger. It's also really easy to maintain unlike shiny glossy tiles! Good luck!
