Floor Transitions, Reducers, Thresholds For Tile, Harwood, Vinyl, Concrete Staining

Home

Floor transitions,reducers,thresholds at doorways have been a concern of mine after I graduated from college. College went well...but here I am discussing the importance of proper transition placement.
Nothing irks me more when I walk on to a job and notice a transition on the wrong side of the door, not lined up straight and/or the height of the two different materials do not match up.
A perfect transition is one that is the same height, is directly under the swinging part of the door and is lined up square under the door. It is the little details that make or break the final product of the job.

Marmoleum Bathroom Floor Renovation

Home


Marmoleum is an excellent product to use in baths.
With naturally inherent anti-bactericidal and anti-static properties, Marmoleum it is a great choice for the bath.


This floor was installed over existing vinyl that was skimcoated with Ardex Feather Finish to fill in imperfections. It was then sanded and ready for the new Marmoleum made at Forbo. The color of the product is lava and the decorative lines in the floor are a natural grey. The lines are accomplish by using a technique called heat welding, which basically melts a rod of glue into a groove then it is planed of to the height of the marmoleum.
