| Green House Makeover : Eco-Friendly Hardwood Floors | | 2008-08-25 21:10:00 | | When I purchased a 1920s Colonial for renovation, I wanted to maintain its original character yet use as many eco-friendly products and features as possible. The house had the original hardwood floors throughout; Douglas Fir on the first floor and Southern Yellow Pine on the second floor. Both were shabby. The first floor showed plenty of discoloration, large scratches and even a hump in the middle of the floor. The second floor was partially covered in hideous pink ceramic tiles, so we weren't sure what would happen. We knew that the green way to go was to salvage as much original planking as possible, rather than to scrap it and start new. But would it work?Our plan of action was to hire the best flooring contractor in the area. That was easy. Dave Novak Flooring of Long Island is a real pro and knows his green products to boot. Dave helped us to determine whether or not the situation was salvageable or not. Miraculously, they were able to correct the major flaws, including the hump,... | | By: I Dream of Greenie | | |
| | How To Fix A Scratch on Hardwood Floors | | 2008-08-21 18:08:53 | | Today's post is an answer from a reader about how to easily repair a scratch on hardwood floors.If you actually live in your home then theres no way to avoid scratching hardwood floors. My wife reminds me daily that we have to live in our house not sit back and admire it. So, kids, pets, parties and life in general cause us to scratch and abuse our beautiful hardwood floors.I've found a very easy method for repairing (masking) those ugly scratches. This method is a temporary fix until the day when you refinish your hardwood floors. Go to the hardware store and buy a couple of Minwax Stain Markers in the two closest colors you can find. These markers have a stain and urethane mixture that you can apply to the scratch to help hide it from plain site.First you'll want to make sure the scratch is clean from dust and debris. Next shake the marker well to mix the stain and urethane well. Apply the stain liberally to the scratch. Now heres the important step: use a clean rag to remove any exc... | | By: Helpful Advice for Home Construction Improvement | | |
| | How To Transition Hardwood and Tile Floors | | 2008-08-17 09:01:42 | | I'd like to share some thoughts on how to transition hardwood and tile floors. Flooring has become a very popular DIY project for many home owners. Also every DIY program on television has featured numerous programs on installing your own hardwood and tile floors.So you might ask why I'm focusing on the floor transition? The answer is simple, I've seen so many DIY flooring projects in homes that look really great except for one detail, the floor transition looks awful.Whether you're installing solid hardwood, engineered hardwood, laminate, or tile the issues are all the same. You really need to plan the floor transitions before you start any flooring installation. There are several basic issues that arise at the floor transitions.Elevation - The final floor elevation of each type of flooring material is a major issue that needs proper attention in order for your new floor to look great and not become a maintenance issue.Location of Transition -The actual location that you stop one floo... | | By: Helpful Advice for Home Construction Improvement | | |

| Applying Water Based Urethane To Hardwood | | 2008-05-07 08:39:17 | | I learned something new today that and I thought it was worth sharing. Because of today's strict new VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) laws most Urethanes are now water based. Most wood fillers however are still an oil based product. So you ask what's the big deal?If you apply a water based urethane over an oil based wood filler it will most likely turn yellow or at least not match the color that you started with. I've actually learned this the hard way a few times but I had no idea what actually caused it. So, a painter suggested that next time I apply the urethane prior to filling any holes. Get all your coats of urethane applied, all the sanding and preparation done. Then go back at the end and apply the oil based wood filler. You know what.....it works fantastic! Next time you're working with urethane give this a try, I think you'll be very impressed.Tags: home improvement, home improvement blog, urethane... | | By: Helpful Advice for Home Construction Improvement | | |
