Default Flooring installation order?


"Mike Reed" wrote in message

We're installing new wood, tile, and carpet. In what order should we
have the work done?

The wood is going into the family room and dining room on the first
floor. The tile is going into the foyer, and carpet on the stairs to
the 2nd floor. So, on the first floor, left to right: wood, tile,
wood. Carpet ascending stairs off the tile.

Any best order to protect the surfaces as the next one is installed?


Carpet is the least messy and I'd do that last. Since the tile is only in
the foyer, it may not matter much but you do want the floor to have a finish
on it so that any tile adhesive will clean up easily should it get on the
wood.
