Colchester flooring FAQ

Questions to settle before the project begins.

How was the former floor-receptacle location repaired in the Colchester kitchen?

After an electrician removed the receptacle, the homeowner supplied leftover matching engineered hardwood. A filler-edged patch was discussed but not installed. The homeowner chose a full-board repair, so Floors Now removed one complete board and adhered one matching replacement. The flooring work took a few hours.

Can every engineered-hardwood floor cutout be repaired by replacing one board?

No. The Colchester repair used leftover matching material supplied by the homeowner, and the conditions supported replacement of one complete board. Product construction, installation method, access, retained material, surrounding condition, and the cause of the opening all need to be reviewed before another repair path is approved.

Can hardwood, ceramic tile, and floating LVP be installed as one residential project?

They can when each material is matched to its rooms and the removal, substrate, preparation, installation method, finished height, transitions, access, and schedule are coordinated. Floors Now completed all three flooring systems for this Colchester restoration project in three workdays.

Which Colchester rooms received each flooring material?

Skyline Plank Wheatfield Oak engineered hardwood was installed across the family room, kitchen, dining room, and living room. Daltile Choice Burrow Beige ceramic tile was installed in the den, entry, and connecting area. Karndean Golden Kent Ash floating LVP was installed across the basement areas.

How was the engineered hardwood installed?

Floors Now glued down 947 square feet of Skyline Plank Wheatfield Oak engineered hardwood across the four main living areas. Reducers and matching quarter-round were included in the verified finishing scope.

What preparation was completed for the ceramic tile?

The tile scope included removing and disposing of 348 square feet of existing wood, installing 383 square feet of 1/4-inch Triton tile underlayment, and setting 401 square feet of Daltile Choice Burrow Beige 12-by-24-inch matte ceramic tile with thinset and non-epoxy grout.

What was installed beneath the floating basement LVP?

The basement scope included five hours of preparation and 588 square feet of a DRICORE layer before 589 square feet of Karndean Golden Kent Ash floating LVP was installed. A reducer and threshold or end-cap detail completed the verified scope. Underlayment and subfloor requirements should always be confirmed for the selected flooring and site conditions.

Why do the Colchester project photographs show renovation work around the new floors?

Floors Now completed the flooring portion of a larger restoration-company project while other renovation work continued. The approved photographs document the installed hardwood and LVP, not completion of the entire property restoration. No completed tile photograph was supplied.

How long did the Colchester flooring scope take?

Floors Now completed the verified hardwood, tile, and LVP flooring scope in three workdays. Other multi-surface projects may require different schedules based on removal, substrate conditions, preparation, layout, transitions, access, and coordination with other trades.

Which carpet and rubber gym flooring were installed in the other Colchester basement?

Floors Now installed Madoc carpet in the official Coracle color with new pad throughout the carpeted scope and on both staircases. The gym received Advanced Edge Sports Flooring AE400 interlocking rubber tiles in the official Back in Black color.

How many Colchester stairs received carpet?

The Madoc Coracle project included 27 waterfall-style stairs: 13 basement stairs and 14 main stairs.

Were the AE400 rubber tiles glued down or installed over new underlayment?

No. The 405-square-foot supplied quantity of AE400 tiles was interlocked without adhesive over the older underlayment already in place. Floors Now installed no new underlayment and completed no patching for that scope.

How long did the Colchester carpet and rubber flooring project take?

The removal, carpet, two staircases, rubber gym flooring, transitions, metal details, baseboard reset, and coordination around gym equipment were completed in one workday during one visit.
