floating floor directly over ceramic tiles meeting carpet areas?
Comments (4)There will be a height difference, you will need to use a reducing strip into the study and lounge. Don't forget the timber floors will also reduce the height of the skirts unless you are planning to take them up. Will you be continuing the flooring under the dishwasher & fridge, this will also change their heights. In the long run better to take up the floor, there are companies that will do it in a day, leave the floors prepared and take away the rubbish for around $30 m2....See MoreTimber Floor - should I timber the lot
Comments (18)Unless you live like animals, carpet does not 'harbour' a single living organism. It's a scientific fact. It's your bed that harbours organisms. Carpet acts like an air filter for dust, waiting for you to vacuum it out. Timber flooring allows dust to be constantly stirred up into the air in the home unless you vacuum and mop daily. At the end of the day, go with what you like- carpet in bedrooms and not in high traffic areas is logical. I've manufactured carpet for years and wholesale carpet and hard flooring. There is a lot of misinformation out there about all flooring types. Happy to answer any queries....See MoreFloating stairs - Stone OR timber?? Please help me out................
Comments (13)I think that ceaserstone or marble would compete too much with your tiles and could look odd because of that. In the examples you provide, the one lot of marble stairs are with a very plain tile and the other looks like it matches the floor exactly. Your tiles have a bit of a swirly pattern so unless you chose a very plain stone/marble it would clash IMO. Also, ceasarstone can chip and I don't think it would be a very practical option for stairs. Timber would add a bit of warmth to your whole sleek look while still looking modern, and be something to tie your front door in with so it isn't the only warm looking thing in your whole light coloured area....See MoreDirection of timber flooring dillema
Comments (5)I mean WOW Joanne, what a view! I think no-one will be worried about the board direction, honestly, their eyes will be feasting on the horizon!! Obviously this is your personal decision at the end of the day, and the more I look at this design dilemma the more I think both options would work. However I would keep the boards the same dimension throughout. Imagine entering at the front door and moving down the corridor space into the living room - you want a seamless flow as the eyes look towards the outside, and once in the room you won't mind at all the direction of the boards. I assume you are selecting a tile for the alfresco terrace - just match the direction of the boards and you can't go wrong! The link below is from the TonguenGroove website, showing a project with a corner aspect to a water-facing deck with fully glazed doors - so both conditions! They both work, right?! The main orientation IS long boards parallel to the water though.....also attached a photo of a Nicholas Murray project from Mafi website with short boards across the hall......looks good.... Good Luck! ..http://www.tonguengrooveflooring.com.au/projects/ventnor-beach-house/....See More

5 years agoHi louisebzh, we were in a similar situation where we needed a strip to cover the join between our polished concrete and carpet. Long story but the concrete was cut too far that it extended past the door so when the door was closed you’d see a strip of carpet. I looked far and wide to find a strip that looked ok. I don’t even notice it. Classic Architectural Group.
