Flooring

I’m putting in Hardwood FlooFlooring with a border of contrasting strip flooring. To ensure proper setback from the wall and to make a solid transition in places where the border runs perpendicular to the plank flooring field, I believe I need to use a router table to cut the tongue and groove back into the pieces that have been cross-cut and ripped.

Can anyone recommend from experience a router bit that does a nice job on 3/4" flooring?

Thanks!

These are usually 2 separate bits. Setting one at a router depth to cut the grove and the other to set at a different depth to cut the tongue on one side , turning the board to cut the other side
Available where good tools are sold. And yes, using a router table works the best. GL

The kitchen can be a big challenge to bring on floors. On the one hand, the floors must be comfortable enough to get over long maturities. On the other hand, however, the floors must be resistant to stains and a high degree of foot traffic. The right kitchen flooring requires a little maintenance and can also be used with the demands on it by a modern kitchen. Spills and accidents often happen that a strain on each floor is installed, that in the kitchen area. To prevent serious problems, and future maintenance costs, it pays to install the right kind of flooring to begin with.

Wood flooring is traditionally seen in the kitchen floor, but it can lead to high maintenance costs. Wood aborbs moisture, allowing it to warp and crack over time. When a wood floor absorbs too much moisture it can end up cupping or coronation, to create an unsightly and uneven surface. The only solution to this problem is to define the bow section of sand, or rip the whole floor and start over again. Neither of them are very attractive options, and the many hours and one thousand U.S. dollars. While a properly maintained and finished wood flooring May resist these problems, wood Flooring is certainly more prone to suffer from them.

Other options are reliable and Pottery slate tiles. Tiles and slate does not absorb moisture, and not suffer from warping or cracking. As a relatively rigid materials, they experience little expansion or contraction.

Slate and ceramic floor coverings are available in a wide range of colors and shades. Slate and ceramic floors are also very slip resistant, so that they can build a safer surface for use in the kitchen as well. Wood floors can be slippery, especially if it has been exposed to moisture. When you will be using slate as a kitchen surface, be sure to go with a low gloss or destination point for the slip extra protection.

Laminate flooring is also another viable option in the kitchen. To achieve that hardwood look without the maintenance issues, laminate flooring can be a great alternative. Laminate flooring is easy to install, affordable, and highly resistant to both water damage and stains.
Laminate flooring is also designed to provide a much more pedestrian traffic and pressure. The kitchen is a heavy burden for land, and should be treated as such. Choosing the right type of flooring gives homeowners lasting durability, low maintenance costs.

I live in an apartment and the bedrooms have Hardwood FlooFlooring. My bedroom is not too bad but my son’s is cold. Besides adding curtains and an area rug, are there any other ways to help retain heat.

You can try to adjust the heat registers. Try opening your sons all the way, and partially closing others throughout the apartment. If you have rooms you seldom use, try closing them about 75%-80%. Depending on the age of the complex, you may have single pane glass in the windows. That’s where you would be losing your heat. Short of blocking the window over with some foam product, there’s not much more you can do. If it is too bad, may consider a small space heater. You may find it uses more electric then just raising the heat and closing the heat registers some. You’d have to monitor your electric bill. You need to also let the management know, it could be a heat balancing issue with the heating unit.
