1.30What are the diffrences between bamboo flooring, and wood flooring?
Q.Can you also give pro's and con's of both?
thanks.
A.Wood flooring is made directly from trees, while bamboo is actually a fast-growing grass. Some say it is even harder than hardwood! Bamboo comes in various qualities - from bamboo laminate, to the more expensive, woven and carbonized bamboo flooring.
There are several pages discussing the pros, cons and varieties of wood and bamboo flooring listed on the following Quick Click Green Flooring Guide.

1.20Laying engineered wood flooring over vinyl flooring?
Q.Can engineered wood flooring be installed on vinyl flooring?
I'm in the middle of home improvement project and have decided to lay some engineered wood flooring for my kitchen. The particular brand that I've bought requires glue-down installation.
The problem is, there's vinyl flooring that's been laid with cutback and it's not going to come up without a significant amount of work and then re-preparation of the sub flooring. I've been to the local home improvement center several times and can't really get a straight answer as to if this is possible. I've searched the Internet and its about 50-50 yes and no.
I'd really like anybody's input into my situation, as I am under a little bit of a time constraint to finish the project as this is my new house and I've got to move out of my old house in in a week.
Thanks in advance to your answers!
A.If you are laying down Bruce or Armstrong flooring, they have instructions for laying over vinyl flooring. Basically you can't lay the flooring over more than 2 layers of vinyl. You want to make sure the flooring is stripped, not sanded, especially if there is a gloss on the floor. Don't sand if its a resilient floor, it may contain asbestos. Also they recommend specific adhesives that will bond with the floor.
1.05How to Clean "Click Wood Flooring"?
Q.Not sure the proper name for it.. but its not hard wood flooring. Its wood flooring that Clips together..
I have tried murphys, vinager and water, Vim for wood floors, a few different all purpose cleaners that are safe for wood, and just water... Nothing seems to get the smudges, and marks off the floor. Any ideas?!
Thanks for any help.
A.I think you mean Laminate flooring?
We have Laminate. You can get rid of the streaks and smudges with a microfiber mop and vinegar.
Just mix vinegar with water (or even use it undiluted) and mop with this. The microfiber really does a wonderful job getting rid of those smudges.
You can buy microfiber mops just about anywhere...Walmart, Target, K-Mart, Home Depot, hardware stores, and even Dollar General.
Good luck.

1.00What is the best way to level a floor in preparation to install wood floors?
Q.Trying to prepare a particle board floor over a sub-floor for wood flooring. very un-level. Should I tear up the particle board or use floor leveler products?
A.Best fix is to tear out existing sub flooring and replace with a new T&G (tongue and groove) flooring system, screw and glue with sub floor glue, may have to shim it in places, but you can do the same to the existing flooring by shimming it, glue it and screwing it, but this take some talent or experience and only if you have access to the underneath side. If the new wood flooring is a free floating/laminate you can get floor levelor at your nearest home improvement store they will explain how to use it.

Wood Flooring
If you are considering wood flooring for your Tampa, Florida area home, you've made an excellent choice. Wood flooring gives your home a beautifully old fashioned look that's always in vogue. A room with a hard wood floor has an especially warm and cozy feel about it. This stunning beauty doesn't mean that it's hard to clean, however. Wood floors are easy to maintain, and a house with wood flooring always fetches a high price in the market. With some maintenance, you can expect your wood floor to last for the life time of the house. Besides in these "go green" days, hard wood flooring is one of the most eco friendly choices out there.
Wood flooring are varied not just in the species of wood it is sourced from, but also in the types, finishes and thickness of the flooring. Wood species include oak wood, Brazilian cherry, birch, pine, walnut etc. Besides, you can choose from solid or engineered wood flooring, antique wood floors, factory finished floors and parquet flooring. The kind of materials and styles you choose will depend on your life style, the rest of the décor of the room and the area where you live. Almost all types of wood flooring that consists of one piece of wood are considered to be solid flooring. This flooring is perfect for rooms that are on or above ground level. Engineered wood flooring is ideal for areas of the house where a solid wood floor may not work, like kitchens and utility rooms. Bamboo hard wood floors are the most environment friendly, and are a far cry from the rustic bamboo poles of yesteryear. Modern bamboo wood floors come in the form of strips, making them easy to lay. Oak hard wood flooring is still the material of choice for elegant >, Florida area homes. The variety of colors that are available may vary from species to species, so request a pre-finished or unfinished sample before you decide on the right shade. The natural colors of oak and maple continue to be the most popular shades. Always factor in color variations because it is highly likely that each strip comes from a different tree.
Wood floorings are one of the more expensive choices in flooring materials. However, the quality of the wood determines the pricing itself. You can expect a cheap wood flooring to have more imperfections and more number of knots. A higher priced wood will offer fewer variations in color, although this is dependent on the species too. Expensive wood also gives you a wider width, and allows you to stain and finish your wood flooring to bring out a richer color. Installation costs also vary a lot, depending on the labor rates in your area, as well as the sub floor preparation. To ensure that your expensive new wood floor lasts long, keep water, dirt and sand away from your hard wood floor. Water discolors the wood, while dirt and sand cause scratching and dulling of the color. Use floor rugs outside the door, and just inside the hallway, and place area rugs at different points throughout the house to take some of the wear off the floor. Never use regular floor cleaners or soap solutions. Special neutral pH cleaners will keep your wood floors residue free. Insert felt strips or padding under the legs of your furniture to prevent scratching and lift the furniture off the floor when you have to move it. To protect areas near large windows from the damaging effects of the sun, use heavy curtains.
