My husband has FINALLY agreed to pull up our NASTY carpeting in the upstairs "kitty room" and downstairs living room and hallway. We plan to put linoleum tiles upstairs and Pergo laminate floors downstairs. This is all "supposed" to take place after the holidays AND when we have the money to do it. With all that is going on with my daughter right now, it might have to wait. *sigh*
I will post pictures as soon as I get them, because I have waited for this for five years!![]()
Kim Loves Cats and Doggies Too!
This summer I laid Pergo in most of my house over bad hardwood floors. I'm supposed to have a 30 year warranty.
It looks great. But I'm not sure I did good.
The dogs can't get on the bed because it's slippery (Maybe that's good![]()
I had to put rubber pads under all the furniture so the floor wouldn't get scratched.
Chairs slide into the wall when you sit down--or get up.
Any wet spot has to be mopped up right away or the edge might lift. I have a spot under a chair that did that overnight.
Pergo has to be cleaned carefully; use a Swiffer or Clorox mop or be ready to dry it as you go.
I did put down an area rug in the living room and a couple of smaller rugs in the den, but now I have rugs to clean, too.
I wisely put sheet vinyl in my kitchen. I chose a dark brown stone-like pattern. I have been supremely happy with it. It doesn't have a bright shine to it so it doesn't show the dirt or need to be cleaned often and it isn't slippery. I eliminated all small rugs, too. Floor clean up takes 10 minutes.
When I do my daughter's house, I'm going to use sheet vinyl with a wood pattern so I can have the look of hardwood with the care of vinyl.
Live and learn.
