I have the quarter round trim on my baseboards with laminate flooring. I was told by my builder because I have a floating floor that expands and contracts with the weather the quarter round trim protects the edges of the floating floor 🤷🏻♀️
When a floating floor is installed, it can't be installed flush against the wall or existing baseboards because of the expanding and contracting that happens. So the builder is correct! Any trim would cover the small gap; doesn't have to be quarter round. I am guessing that you also have baseboards and the floor was installed AFTER the baseboards were in...hence the need for an ADDITIONAL trim piece.
Hee hee, nobody wants to scrub grout. ☺ There are some beautiful tile options out there though. Speaking of options, even since creating this video there have been some new vinyl sheet flooring options released by the manufacturers I referenced in this video.
I understand your final comment about not installing the small trim edge if you have baseboards but if your doing this application in a bathroom with tile to the floor and a bathtub meeting the floor then is it okay?
I've seen a simple bead of caulk used at these areas. If the sheet flooring is installed property and the correct adhesive is used, a bead of caulk should be sufficient. I believe you are asking about tile though - and yes a bead of caulk where the floor meets the tub is what is generally used.
Hello! Sorry for my late reply. I personally have not had any outgassing issues. All of the flooring I have seen installed recently did not have any odor.
I just saw a video of rainbow eucalyptus. Oh, my! My dream of printing on demand. What a terrific overview you’ve done. I love your enthusiastic response to terrazzo. I actually got excited at Walmart when I found terrazzo-patterned Contact paper. I care about how livable materials are. Linoleum is natural, but requires yearly sealing. People lose their sanity over maintaining grouted tile/laminates/hardwood. I’d stay away from prefinished wood, use fill and sand/finish wood if I used it. I’ve done a lot of ceramic tile, when there was no epoxy grout. I will NEVER submit to cleaning mold from bath/kitchen sanded grout. I feel despair when I see all/mostly white and gray interiors, can’t even watch those videos. Hurts my soul. I’d rather see a lovely/quirky/even slightly wacky use of pattern-on-pattern with gorgeous color in a room. Can’t bear anything feeling sterile. No particular style, just life-affirming elegance in design. If I had a generous budget, I’d start with heated concrete floors and play with all possible coverings, like areas of low/zero -VOC-sheet vinyl/bamboo/cork/area rugs. I’d feel free to play, change up what I like, an eye towards resale return, but not a slave to market demands. Two things that made me smile: I saw a program on Pompei and Herculaneum, and one gentleman spoke of the richness and intensity of color on the walls, how it feeds the humans within the structure, compared to current trends that look anemic, nearly lifeless to me. ‘Pops of color’ in ‘neutral spaces’ will not nourish me. The most wacky-wondrous solution to the question, ‘Whatever will we choose for flooring?’ was answered by two architects who created their dream home, waffling on flooring to apply to the construction plywood. They had an abundance of leftovers of great wallpapers, applied them to areas “temporarily”so they could move in, found they loved them, then spent the next few years delighting in creative play, putting down more in traffic areas, like wonderful rugs. I so wish they’d included photos. I look forward to seeing more of your offerings. Your presentation style was thoroughly enjoyable with morning coffee.
Adriane! What wonderful comments to share with me. I am glad you enjoyed my presentation style and found it enjoyable. As a real estate agent, I have to be careful with voicing my disdain for battleship grey everything but oh man, how much I dislike it! I have another video uploaded called 2021 Home Design Trends (or something like that, lol) where I cover how white out and grey out is on the out and natural textures are in. You may enjoy that video if you haven't seen it already. My next video that I am planning out will be exterior paint colors and I am excited for it. I'm currently in process of painting over all the white trim at my own house which has been keeping me pretty busy as well as restoring a lightly rusted wrought iron outdoor railing. There's always a project! THANK YOU AGAIN for the lovely comments and I will look forward to more of them in the future. Cheers, Erica P.S. Re-reading your comments about tile made me realize that we don't have a single piece of tile in our entire home!
@@pnwerica Funny tiling story. Built a house long ago. Tiled kitchen and two bathrooms. Finally came the 6’x12’ front hall where two edges of tile would meet the living room carpet. Started at corner point after dinner, working into hall, helpers handing me tiles from living room and staircase. Climbed out the window as I finished, late. Someone down the street saw a scruffy-looking person climbing out, figured ‘Burglar!’ And called the police. Nice guys came, knew us as their custom sportswear printers, complimented me on a nice job and asked for tips. Lo-o-ong evening. 😄
@@pnwerica No, worked back from most important edges and into the closet. I’m not confident enough to work towards the most visible whole tiles. All the cuts were behind closed doors. No big deal to climb out a low window when you’re young and oh-so-limber.
The ones I mention in this video are high quality and cannot be purchased from your "local big box store". They have to be purchased by a flooring specialty store. I have seen many of these in person and they are around 2 mm thick.
you have to look for padded back vinyl. It's hard to find in my country cause the major hardware stores only sell the thin cheap one. Only a few obscure places here sell padded sheet vinyl.
I had the Penny Lane Mannington installed in my bathroom in 2016

Stay away from patterms and go with a stone or marble finish. Patterms date fast. Use your head.
So many great resources! Thank you!
Thank you for watching and commenting! I am glad you enjoyed it and found it useful. ☺
Thanks! Very helpful.
I'm seriously considering sheet vinyl. I have tile and the grout gets dirty so fast. Who wants to scrub grout?

Isn't vinyl sheet flooring toxic though? We just got some and we are airing the house out because I read that vinyl floor emit toxins into the air.

Real linoleum is a super green option. Marmoleum company is mentioned here. Pay attention to the instructions of slight shrinking on one side

@@adrianekelly2966 Good story! Sounds like you started at the wrong end. 😜

@@adrianekelly2966 ahhh...right. I would have done it the same way then.
Warmer colors coming back? Thank goodness!
YES!!! Isn't it great? 🎉
linoleum is not the same as vinyl....
You are correct.
Every vinyl I see is micro thin not good for the kitchen
