Integrated Flooring Solutions

5.0

By mdmann

I had the pleasure of working with the team of Integrated Flooring Solutions on two bathroom projects and a backsplash in my kitchen. Dave and Chad were more than helpful in assisting me in the selection of just the right gray plank tile for my bathrooms and a beautiful subway tile for the kitchen. Everything from ordering to installation was done professionally and on-time. My house was always cleaned and left just as it was before work each day. The project turned out beautiful. I also had an emergency water situation in my basement. Integrated was there to assist quickly to tear out old carpet and install new from a remnant I already had. I highly recommend this company, their team and multiple flooring options from which to choose - for residential or commercial projects. --M. Mann, Indianapolis ...read more

Floors To Go

4.0

By Srini C at Customer Lob

Floors to Go did the whole house for me and started in March. There was a miscommunication between Floors to Go and their subcontractors about the shoe molding and measurements so the job was not completed until July. At one point, early on, I had to go out of the country and it was hectic having to wait and call for the subcontractors to come finish the job. One of them had a family emergency so I understand that but I had to call and call and call to learn what was going on. I was not very happy with that. After three weeks, certain areas of the floor feel bumpy or raised. When I would ask the installers questions about it, they acted as if they knew nothing. They did ask some of my questions but I thought they would be more knowledgeable. I'm not a professional in this so I can't say for certain why the floor is doing it and the guys at Floors to Go told me not to worry about it. During the project, they only sent two people out each time for a job that needed four people. I could tell if it were a smaller project like one room but they could only do so much for a large project. My husband also had to get lumber and stain because they sent us white wood--none of that was part of the agreement. We're usually very generous with our opinions and recommending services but this time, we were not that pleased. It was kind of hectic for us so I would say they were average but not outstanding. ...read more

Brief History of Rugs and Carpets

Rugs and carpets have a rich history, only part of which is known. Ancient rugs are very rare because the earliest rugs were made of organic fibers. Organic fibers disintegrate speedily over time, thus preservation over thousands of years is extremely rare. What we do know is that the art of weaving is very old and dates back thousands of years.    Weaving began with rough, simple mats and baskets made of grasses, reeds, leaves, and other natural materials. The first true ‘rugs’ were probably rough cured skins used as floor coverings in the homes of early hunters. With tough, flexible backing and generally soft material (called ‘pile’), these rugs served to keep the home more warm and insulated.   There is evidence for weaving and the existence of rugs in ancient Mesopotamia and Turkey as far back as 7000 and 8000 B.C.E., and in Egypt (wool and cotton) as early as the third millennium B.C.E. Mongolia and China were also main players in the textile industry, and nomadic herders and Chinese weavers were among the first to develop and weave wool rugs.   Weaving developed in many other parts of the world in addition to Europe, including parts of the Americas as far back as 5500 B.C.E. Weavers began to use natural colors and gradually transitioned to using vegetable, flower, and insect materials.    Silk development in China, the ornate, intricate embroidery and designs of Turkey and Mongolia, and the development of more sophisticated looms and weaving techniques throughout the world lifted rug-making from necessity to art form.   Italian merchants first brought oriental rugs to Europe, where they were used as wall hangings and coverings. By 1600, France had developed a dominant weaver’s guild, and England wasn’t far behind. The 1700′s marked England’s emergence into the weaving industry, and by about 1830, a good portion of the wool produced in England was used for carpets.   Various machines were created to aid the process of weaving, and looms have become so sophisticated today that they run off of computer algorithms. Rugs were not widely available in the US and Europe until the onset of mass production and the invention of industrial grade machines.    The first steam-powered loom appeared in 1787, and by 1876, the invention of the Axminster loom, a machine that permitted unlimited use of color and design, boosted the production of carpets. The advent of synthetic fibers and tufted carpet (carpet manufactured by the insertion of tufts of yarn through a carpet-backing fabric) made mass production and purchase of carpets easier, faster, and less expensive. http://www.fastfloors.com/   Copied with permission from: http://plrplr.com/26148/a-brief-history-of-rugs-and-carpets/ ...read more

Flooring Underlayment

Sub-floor types are many and varied. All three types of flooring in your question can be installed equally well on many types of sub-floors. Concrete installation, concrete slab generally are glued using water proofing mastic glues are designed for this type of installation. Plywood, O.S.B. or floating over existing - joist or nailed to existing flooring are all possible. Solid wood planks can be used on joist systems only. Engineered or laminate can not! Plywood or O.S.B. sub's can only be nailed to or stapled as well as click in place floating systems. These are also good candidates for glue installation. The most important feature is to evaluate your specific sub-floor. Stability - soundness - above or below grade. Is the sub-floor wet (test concrete) or moisture meter wood or composite sub-floor, they should be 7% to 10% wet. Crawl spaces must be dry and well ventilated so moisture does not seep from under the house's foundation into sub-floor. Termite on rotting and mold are all potential problems that must be considered before installing new wood floors. Call a professional for a thorough consultation before you start. This will save time, money and problems down the road. Do it right the first time. Hope this has been helpful. ...read more
