NO questions here, Just a statement so no one makes any mistakes with this. If you want to install laminate in your kitchen or bathroom DO NOT. Laminate warps with water. If you want wood in your kitchen, I suggest a high quality vinyl that looks just like wood, or real hardwood. Laminate also warps in bathrooms due to the high moisture. If you have a dishwasher, defianatly do not put laminate in your kitchen, the slightest leak of water will wreck your entire floor. I own a flooring business and have seen people make these mistakes for a long time. I really wish others wouldnt do the same, because your flooring may only last you a year in a bathroom, and that gets quite costly after awhile. Kitchens last longer unless you have a dishwasher that leaks suddenly, then you're faced with a new crisis of needing new flooring. Thanks!!!!!

Hey, It's winter here in Toronto. It's really cold in the solarium (solarium is in the apartment). I have been keeping my birds in my sister's room but she's getting mad so now I have to put it in my room since there is no more big spaces in the apartment.|||| How do I make it warmer in the solarium (28 degree celcius) without doing anything to the surrounding walls?||||| Also, I need a cheap way!

the wood flooring will be installed in a hallway which has six rooms opening off of it, all the rooms have carpet. I don't want to use transition strips where the doorways are. I have seen carpet joined to other type floors simular to this where the carpet appears to have been rolled under at the transition and secured. is this done with some type carpet tact strip that dosen't have the little nails sticking up? all flooring is over a concrete slab.
