We currently have a cement slab with a sunken lounge room. I wish to build up this room to the main level and then tile the complete house (almost). I have been told that we will need an expansion joint where the two cement slabs meet, but as this is right in the middle of the new room I am wondering if there is any way around a visible expansion joint? Thanks

You say to seal the grout when it has cured, mine was not when it was installed and now I want to, after I throughly clean it I need to know what to seal it with, I have heard that polyurethane varnish is good, or do I have to buy a special sealer? thanks,

We just were flooded in our downstairs basement. We removed the carpet and the pad is indoor/outdoor carpeting. When removed it has left the black foam that is attached to the concrete floor. We are scraping up the foam and want to know what would be the best choice for the 2 bedroom, hallway and living area (all concrete)….tiling or an acid stain. The chances of minor flooding could happen in the future. What would be your advice?
Thank you,

I am getting ready to install this new Trafficmaster Allure Vinyl plank flooring in my master bath. At the present time it has a wood subfloor with a berber tight weave carpet on top of it. One of the guys at Home Depot said that I could actually install this vinyl flooring on top of the carpeting and use it for a cushion. What is your feelings on this one? I think it would be nice if it won’t mess up the vinyl flooring. The carpet is in very good shape and has no tears in it at all. Please advise!

I live in Indianapolis, Indiana. I have a screened in patio. I want to apply some tile to the floor. Is there a specific tile or adhesive that is required for cold temperatures.

Thank you very much
