My house has some sort of modern tongue-in-groove plank-style
wooden floor throughout the entryways, breakfast area, and
kitchen, installed over the plywood sub-floor. I like the fact
that wood is a comfortable surface for bare feet, but don't
like the fact that every spill of water can be a problem and
every dropped utensil can create another dent or gouge. Any
suggestions?
Solid premium vinyl
Armstrong used to have (and may still) a solid vinyl line that was
really tough . Bitch to install too , had to warm it up to cut it .
We're undecided whether to carry the (solid 3/4" prefinished
oak)hardwood into the "wet" areas . I planned on ceramic or porcelain
tile in the bathrooms and kitchen work area , but she kinda likes the
idea of it all being hardwood .
It was called Solarian, if memory serves me right and yes a bitch to install
especially in cold weather. I remember epoxy was used on seams


* Yeah , Designer Solarian ! There were cheaper solids that didn't have
the no-wax finish too . Best way we found to fit that stuff was to
scribe a pattern from roofing felt and cut it out before it ever went
into place . Sounds like you know a bit about the business , did y'all
ever go coving ? Roll the flooring 4 1/2" up the wall with an aluminum
cap strip . Fun !
Looks just like Terrazo. Used a lot in institutional installations
where the corners are water-tight and easy to keep clean.
