How to repair laminate flooring
The post How to repair laminate flooring appeared first on SajtoviLaminate floors are becoming more and more popular due to the fact that they look like real hardwood floors, but do not require as much attention when dealing with it. However, even though they are highly durable, they can also get damaged; they can get cracked or scratched, or damaged in any other way; and that is when these tips become more valuable. So, just read them and try to utilize them when dealing with your laminate floors.How to repair scratches or surface damages?Well, first of all, if your laminate floor becomes damaged in some way, make sure you clean that part of the floor, and they wait for it to dry up. Then, you need to get the laminate floors repair kit that you should have bought before starting with the repairs. Just make sure that you purchase the one that is the same color as the one you have installed on your floor. The best way to make sure you don’t buy the one with different color, bring a piece of the floor with you.After that’s been done, you should fill in the scratches or holes in your laminate floor with putty, wax, or any other thing that is in your repair kit. After that, take a dry cloth and use it to remove any excess wax or putty that might have remained on your floor.How to repair damages near the edges?Well, first of all, you need to see how big the damage really is, and you can’t do that with the baseboard still nailed to the floor. Take it off, but just be careful. You do not want to damage the floor even more, and create more work for yourself. Then, you should take off all the boards that have been damaged. Start with the ones that are closer to the wall, and work your way up to the place with the heaviest damage. Now all you need to do is to replace the removed boards with the new ones. And just like in the first tip, make sure you get the boards that are of the same color as the ones on the floor. Then get the baseboard back, and your work is done.How to repair damages on the center of the laminate board?If the damage is located in the center of the floor, or the center of the laminate floor board, than you need to take some different steps. First you need to cut a section on the board, around the damaged area. You can do this by utilizing a drill and a saw. Cut a few holes in the board, and then cut the board from one hole to the other. Then, after that’s been done, remove the center of the board, and make cuts diagonally, from the edges of the hole, to the edges of the remaining part of the board. Then take out the cut parts, and by doing that, you’ll remove the damaged board completely. Next, just replace the damaged board, and you’re done.

Flooring Tips for Homeowners in California – Part 2
The post Flooring Tips for Homeowners in California – Part 2 appeared first on SajtoviThe leader distributor in Southern California of bamboo flooring is Welson & York, Inc. They carefully research their seller’s upgrades of their equipment in order to meet their quality standards. From the time when the opening of their own mill in 2006, the factories they trained to highest standards of industry, have been shifting their products to companies like Mannington.
A great alternative to exotic wood products and wonderful product is Bamboo. It is environmentally friendly and if processed correctly it performs much better than any similar product. With cheap inferior bamboo products it is very disconcerting to see the market being flooded. A very truthful example is one conversation with a customer:
“A few years ago ninety percent of my business was Bamboo. Everybody wanted Bamboo Floors. Lately I have seen a sharp drop in Bamboo, now only ten percent of my business is Bamboo and I had no idea why, until a couple days ago and I ears drop some people in their showroom talking about Bamboo. The market has been flooded with some cheap low-grade Bamboo that just does not hold up to even a couple months of wear.”
And with a countless of distributors and importers in the market consumers can find Bamboo Flooring retail at below $2. In stark contrast to their products that can be found at a retailer of good reputation anywhere from seven to thirty dollars depending on type of bamboo.They believe in maintaining higher level standards and they never compromising quality over cost. When durability and quality is mentioned 2 words come to mind – Aluminum Oxide – which is one of the most popular phrases in the flooring industry. Aluminum Oxide is known for the strong acid, hardness and alkali resistance, stiffness and high strength and used in abundance in the top wear layers in almost all prefinished floors. In their ware layer finishes Welson & York doesn’t use any Aluminum Oxide. One might consider why such a wonderful additive is not there. The thing is that its cost one of the biggest secrets in the industry, and by far the most attractive quality. The most plentiful raw metal on earth is Aluminum Oxide. Manufactures pack up to seventy percent of the top layers with it to save on finishing costs. And the thing is that what the customer gets is a product that goes very well in the showroom, but when it and sees some real foot traffic after it had been installed on a floor the hard breakable surface starts to break and powder up leaving obvious gashes and white lines. With an Aluminum Oxide finish refinishing is almost impossible. They use the latest UV cured High Performance Coating cross-linking acryl ate blends with nano and micro particles, making a durable finish that will take the knocks and dents of normal traffic and stretch and stick to the Bamboo with hardiness likened to a rubber tire, and is refinished easily with some traditional refinishing methods.
And if you are looking for a quality and dependable product at a reasonable price then you have found it, but if quality is the latter and budget is a concern, we suggest you to look somewhere else.
Their products can be found in the bluffs of Malibu, Caesars Palace and even on the studio set of the latest Hollywood Blockbuster.

How to care of your hardwood floors?
The post How to care of your hardwood floors? appeared first on SajtoviHardwood floors are great. They look excellent, and also feel great when being walked on. However, it is a well known fact that taking care of such floors is not an easy task. They need to be taken care of, and that needs to be done perfectly, in order to have your hardwood floors last for a long amount of time. Many people are probably asking themselves how to do that at this time. Well, if you just follow these instructions, your hardwood floors will always look new, and should never degrade in any way. So, lets get started with instructions, shall we?First of all, you need to know that you should not use any of the regular products used for cleaning or dusting that you probably already have in your household. They will cause irreparable damage, and that precisely is the reason why you should only use special products that are designed for hardwood floors. Speaking of irreparable damage, it immediately comes to mind that you should not use water to clean them. Sajtovi recommends you Use damp cloths to clean your hardwood floors, but never water, as it causes great damage to them.Also, do not use any of the chemical products such as ammonia, or any products with urethane, such as wax. Believe it; the glossy finish is not worth it. In addition, it should also be added that you should never drag your furniture on your hardwood floor. It will damage it and cause scratches on it.When cleaning these floors, it is always better to use the vacuum cleaner than to sweep them. Vacuum cleaners tend to take in all the dust, even the one from between the floor boards, which is something a sweeping broom, could never do. Just make sure you use the proper floor attachment, so you do not damage the floor.Also, floors could be damaged by direct sunrays. This can be prevented by using blindfolds or sheers on your windows; that way, your floor will not experience discoloration due to the sunlight.Your feet can also cause damage to the hardwood floors, and especially when using shoes whose soles are not in great condition. Stilettos can also damage the hardwood floors, so keep them in mind. And if you have pets, make sure you trim their nails and claws, because these types of damages can be extremely visible.If you spill anything on your hardwood floor, make sure you clean it up immediately. Hardwood floors tend to soak it in, which can cause huge damage to it. So, just clean it up; it is not that hard, and will protect your floors. Clean it up with a microfiber cloth of some kind, and make sure you don’t use any products that can damage the hardwood, which have been already discussed about at the beginning of this article. So, if you just take things mentioned in this article into account, your hardwood floors should lead a long life.

Bamboo, laminate and linoleum flooring?
The post Bamboo, laminate and linoleum flooring? appeared first on SajtoviOption 1 : BambooBamboo is more and more popular flooring material and it is often thought of as wood, even though it is not a hardwood but a grass. Glued together to form engineered planks or solid strips bamboo strands are just as a hardwood. Also, cost to install and purchase are similar to wood products.
Grain patterns include vertical, woven and flat. Vertical grains pack the strands together to create an appearance which is fine-grained. Flat grains show the irregular growth nodes characteristic of the grass; Woven types have lean patterns.
Bamboo is durable and tough. They are easy to grow and regenerate quickly because it comes from plants, and bamboo is considered as an environmentally friendly flooring choice and a sustainable material. However, most bamboo is imported from Asia, and environmentalists point out the energy necessary to transport bamboo to the United States as a factor to consider when selecting green flooring.
You can expect to pay three to eight dollars per square foot for bamboo flooring, and seven to twelve dollars per square foot installed.Option 2 : LaminateLaminate flooring provides a huge variety of colors, patterns and styles. It is similar to engineered wood and a top wear layer is backed by compacted fiber backing that is very steady or layers of plywood. The difference is that the top layer is plastic coating applied over a photograph and it is not really a wood. The photo-realism technology which is used produces finishes identical from real wood and some other materials such as ceramic tile, stone and stained concrete.Laminates comes as tiles or planks. Most of it are floating floor systems, which means they can be installed straight over old existing flooring without nails or glue — no tear-out is required. Laminate is popular DIY flooring, but it is wise not to misjudge your skills — installing between door jambs and around corners takes ingenuity and patience.
Laminate flooring costs one to seven dollars per square foot. And depending on difficulty installation adds two to five dollars per square foot. Option 3 : LinoleumLinoleum is made with biodegradable and renewable materials including cork and linseed oil. Mineral pigments are added to produce vibrant and rich colors. Linoleum is considered as a top environmentally friendly flooring choice because it produces no harmful vapors.
Designed for glue-down installation linoleum comes as sheet goods and as laminated tiles and planks that install as a floating floor system. Many manufacturers offer a protective coating that helps the product stand up to foot traffic and prevents staining. Linoleum without this coating should be refinished every 2 years.
Expect to pay two to five dollars per square foot and seven to twelve dollars per square foot installed.
So, it is your choice which type of flooring you prefers the most. All these flooring are very good and it is just your choice and your selection of the types. But, we guarantee to you that bamboo, laminate or linoleum is one of the best flooring.

Five ways on how to choose the right floor for your kitchen
The post Five ways on how to choose the right floor for your kitchen appeared first on SajtoviThere’s more in play that just the kitchen floor. This decision is about the entire kitchen and how much you use it. The right flooring option should properly showcase both your style and also coordinate well with the look of your home. Here’s a few options for flooring to name a few : Hardwood, Ceramic, Vinyl and Laminate. Those are a few of the popular choices. When trying to narrow down to a single pick, make use of these 5 tips & tricks to make the decision that is right for your lifestyle, your house and most importantly that fits your family.1- DurabilityMake sure it’s durable. This is in many situations the difference from having to replace the flooring every few years or enjoying it for many years to come. This is an important characteristic that applies to all floors. But these days, the kitchen is the main traffic area, wether its for cooking, homework or during family gatherings. In particular, Porcelain and ceramic tiles are a renowned for the level of durability that they possess and can last even on the highest traffic areas of your house.2- Ease of cleaning when it gets messyThere’s no avoiding spills in a kitchen. Even less if you have pets or children in the household. So it’s better to avoid a flooring that’s difficult to maintain clean. Select a flooring that doesn’t have a difficult cleaning procedure. Flooring made out of Vinyl for example would be a great choice because some good sweeping ,vacuuming daily and a mopping once in a while is enough to keep it sparkling. On top of that, with sheet vinyl floors, there’s no such thing as annoying grout lines to clean up. It’s the best option for simple everyday care & maintenance.3-Considering resistance Moisture & StainsMost of a house’s accidents happen in the kitchen. The majority of floorings can handle a spill once in a while as long as it’s quickly cleaned up. Stains from food will stain many varieties of floorings if left over, so you’re better off looking for a flooring material that comes with a protective finishing. For this reason, laminate floors are a great choice since it comes with a top layer that naturally protects it from stains and moistures.4-Match the Flooring with the CabinetsThe 2 Focal areas of your kitchen are the cabinets and flooring, so you’re better off picking them both at the same time. Make sure they compliment each other while still not being exactly the same match. Here’s an example : if your kitchen cabinets are dark with espresso stains, a light tone flooring such as bamboo or laminate would create an interesting contrast. While lighter cabinetry like white or honey-colorer would fit better with some hardwood flooring thanks to it’s target tones. This is the secret to create a warm and inviting space for your house.5-Consider the style and design as a whole.Ask yourself the following questions? What look are you trying to create? soft & country ? Sleek & Modern ? Or Retro & Fun ? Double check that your flooring decisions fit and completes the theme of your house. For instance, choose hand-scraped Hardwood Flooring for an inviting Country French feeling, or light-colored Ceramic Tile for a high-end, sleek and modern look. Stay true to yourself and your style.The best advice overall is to not complicate things. Make a Choice that will give a certain style to the kitchen. Make it a state for the rest of the kitchen design options : cabinets, fixtures and backsplash. Don’t try to take complicated patterns, strike for balance between trendy and vanilla styles.

Laminate or Hardwood Floors
The post Laminate or Hardwood Floors appeared first on http://sajtovi.us
Putting new floors in your home is one of the best ways to make it feel brand new without breaking the bank. Since the floors cover so much space, worn, old or dirty floors can make your whole room look dingy and old. New floors can help your room look bright, clean and fresh, helping to update your home and add instant value. This can be even more noticeable if you are upgrading your flooring type from say contractor grade carpet to wood floors. A survey of real estate agents by the National Wood Flooring Association showed that homes with hardwood floors sold faster and for more money than those without.
Once you’re ready to make the move to new wood flooring, you’ve got some exciting decisions to make. Wood floors comes in so many different colors, finishes, character and construction and it is important to make an informed decision on each characteristic of your new wood floor.
The best place to start with decision making is in the color. The color you want to have in your home can help narrow down the type of wood you will ultimately choose. Any wood can be stained but stain will simply add a tint to the wood. For example, walnut naturally has a darker almost grey hue so you can only stain in darker colors and it will never take on a red or orange tint. On the other hand, white oak is much lighter in color and has very little natural tint to it so you can easily change the color of white oak with the right stain. Wood floors can range from browns, to reds, to oranges and tans. To choose the right color for your space, start by looking at any other wood in the space, whether it is natural trim or doors, or furniture you plan on keeping in the room. Also consider that lighter wood colors can help a room feel more bright and inviting but darker wood will help it feel more elegant and formal.
Next you should consider the finish and character of your new wood floors. Once you’ve got a color, or at least range of colors selected, you can decide on a finish. The finishes on your hardwood flooring can range from gloss to matte and can also range in depth. Depending on how soft of a wood you’ve decided to use, going with a thicker gloss coat can help hide some nicks and scratches in your floor. Also, like bright colors, high gloss floors can help a room look significantly brighter. Satin or matte finish floors often hide imperfections and dust better, but won’t look as bright or fancy. Besides the finish, you also need to consider the character of your floor. Do you want to see a lot of grain and big knots, or are you looking for more of a clean uniform or engineered finish? You may even go as extreme as using rough cut lumber or extremely knotty cuts of wood, or something as simple as laminate wood floors that give a very uniform look with a lot of consistency over your floor.
The last thing to think about is the construction of the wood floors you plan to use. Wood floors today can be much more than wood planks that get nailed down and stained, so you need to choose laminate or hardwood construction. The choice between laminate or hardwood has to do with the intended use for the room, your budget, and what you decided on for color, character and finish. For example, if you have pets, having laminate floors maybe a great option as they are much more resilient to scratching, staining or scuffing than hardwood floors. But if you don’t mind spending a little more upfront, hardwood can be an excellent investment for your home as it can be sanded and refinished many times keeping your home looking excellent without having to put in new floors for years. Laminates also offer an extremely wide variety of colors and patterns and what is installed in your home will be exactly what you see in the showroom. Hardwood, on the other hand, has a surprising amount of variation and what is installed may look significantly different than the showroom floor based on where the wood is from and how the stain was applied. This variation does also lead to a lot of natural texture, variation and beauty.
