Need help deciding which floor...
Posted: Mon Nov 19, 2007 11:32 am
Well, I've finally gotten started with my home improvement projects - I just got tired of thinking about it and talking about it, so I went to Lowe's Saturday!
I'm getting started in our guest bathroom, which is my daughter's bathroom. It has sheet vinyl, with one tear in it. I am ripping out the fake wood vanity and installing a new vanity, vanity top, and a linen cabinet. But first I need to install a new floor.
At first, I was all for installing the Novalis vinyl stick-on squares. Now I'm not sure. The only ones they had Saturday in the 12x12 size were cheap looking. The bigger ones, 18x18, were much nicer, but being this is a small bathroom, I'm not sure the 18x18 squares would look right.
And I'm not sure it's a good idea, anyway, considering I'd have to put them down over the vinyl. I'm still worried about any water getting between the tiles. Will that mildew?
So I'd decided on vinyl sheet, but my husband and I are not the diy kind. It will be enough of a challenge to rip out the old vanity and install the new stuff I bought. And we will need some actual wood baseboards - you should see this stuff they put in our mh! And I want new trim at the roof - now we have none.
I need help deciding!!! What kind of floor should I go with? I know the vinyl squares would be much easier to install, but I don't want to have a problem with them 5 years down the road and have to rip that out and re-do. Should I hire somebody to put down vinyl sheet? HELP!!!!!
