The wicked flee when no man pursueth |
In the continuing saga of my two bathroom simultaneous remodel I have another question... I'm 99% I want to do Armstrong sheet vinyl flooring in both bathrooms (same color). I don't care for the look of their "Residential" line, but actually really like the way some of their Commercial line looks. Is there any drawbacks to using Armstrong Commercial vinyl flooring in a house? Proverbs 28:1 | ||

As long as it's a glue down product in a bathroom, and as long as you know what the maintenance is, you'll be fine. Some commercial flooring is meant to be waxed and polished, almost no homeowners do that. Just pay attention to the specs. Commercial flooring is meant for more traffic than residential, as far as usage there is no downside. I'll do the plank/tile. I hire someone for any roll product. I actually like the look of old school checkerboard vinyl tile. I'm weird. Arc. ______________________________ "Like a bitter weed, I'm a bad seed"- Johnny Cash "I'm a loner, Dottie.

This is the one I like: https://www.armstrongflooring....rlon/item/88701.html Mark me weird too then. Both bathrooms will have white vanities and white cultured marble shower/tub surround with brushed nickel metal. I think it'll work. Proverbs 28:1 | |||

I've got the classic black and white in the kitchen of my 40's era house. Have always liked it and think it still fits in some applications. | |||

It's really hard to get a sheet adhered properly in a small space like a bathroom and work out any bubbles, and quite honestly looks cheap. If you're remodeling the bathroom, do it right and at least put nice tile or travertine or granite or something nice. It's such a small area why skimp to save 20% on an entire bathroom remodel by going cheap versus a bathroom that wows. The labor is 70-80% of a bathroom remodel cost. | |||

Tile installation (done right) is damn expensive. It also requires upkeep and cleaning. Vinyl is easier (cheaper to have installed) and very low maintenance. The vinyl floor that is in the bathroom right now was installed in 1974 and still is in really good shape. If high quality (Armstrong) and installed correctly I hope this one is in the same shape 44 years from now. Proverbs 28:1 | |||

We have installed sheet flooring in a couple of rooms, including the bath. Did it ourselves.' Not difficult but does require some planning, and maybe a rental "roller" to get any air bubbles out. We applied the adhesive, rolled up the vinyl and started installing it at the door, rolling it out to the far wall. Just takes a little time and attention to detail Elk There has never been an occasion where a people gave up their weapons in the interest of peace that didn't end in their massacre.
