WIP - Ridge Meadows Reno Part 6

The floors are in!!

After a 3 day installation, the beautiful new floors have been installed in the kitchen, dining room and living room.  What a difference it makes!
  • Flooring makes the room look a LOT more finished.
  • Having proper flooring down greatly reduces the amount of dust that kicks up into the air.
  • The lighter flooring reflects light making the whole room brighter
  • The material is softer than the subfloor so the room sounds quieter ... until the saws start up again for the baseboards and trims.  But that's not until tomorrow.
The material we're using is Karndean flooring. It's made of part recycled PVC with high quality plasticizers. This material enables Karndean to create a textured surface that looks amazingly like a real wood or tile floor. We chose a "Tasmanian Wattle" wood floor that is very difficult to tell from the real thing.

As mentioned, base trims and painting will be completed by the weekend, and the countertops are being installed on Monday.
