Installing Carpet

City Tile — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 20:52:22 +0000

Here’s a quick checklist by Shaw of things to do before the installer arrives.

Make sure you know who’s removing the existing flooring. If you wish, the installer will do it. If not, you should make arrangements to have it removed. To minimize dust and dirt, vacuum your old carpet before it’s removed and, after it’s up, vacuum the floor thoroughly.

Who’s moving the furniture? Decide in advance. Be sure to remove all fragile items fromt he room, and don’t leave anything – such as drapery, pictures or plants hanging over the installation area.

Measure door clearances before you have your flooring installed. If the new floor is thicker than your existing floor, door bottoms may rub.

Paint first. If you are planning to paint, wallpaper or do other remodeling in the room, it’s best to do it before your carpet is installed. Keep extra paint to touch up any post-installation nicks.

Can any thinset be used for Natural Stones?

City Tile — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 20:44:18 +0000

Most all thinsets can be used with natural stones.

There are some occasions where Epoxy Mortars must be used when the stone has an epoxy backing. Unfortunately, samples and requests from manufacturers must be done before proper mortar is used to guarantee the bond between stone and the intended surface. Please consult us to make sure there is no failure of installation before installing stone.

Natural Slate – Maintenance by City Tile and Floor Covering

City Tile — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 22:31:30 +0000

We received this question from a customer recently and thought we would share the answer.

Question: I like the look of natural slate, but I’ve been told it requires more maintenace than tile. Is this true?

Answer: Slate is a natural material, so it does require more maintenance than tile. It is absorptive, so it should be sealed every 12-18 months. When used in a flooring application, it needs to be resealed after the first 6 months, because natural flaking occurs after it is installed. Dust mop and mop regularly to help prevent scratching.
