Tips For Installing Peel and Stick Tile Floors

installing peel and stick tileStep one in installing peel and stick tile floors starts with a clean, flat and dry surface. You can lay the new tile over the old tile or linoleum but the old surface needs to be secure to the floor and it needs to be thoroughly cleaned and dry and free from any irregularities. If you are installing peel and stick tile on a plywood or osb surface that has been nailed down it is imperative that you secure the nails from working themselves back up and through the tile. This can be accomplished with using a fast drying filler that you can pick up at your local hardware or big box store such as Home Depot or Lowe’s. This is a very time consuming process but must be done if nails have been used. Remove the molding that is running along the walls so that you can install the tile directly up to the wall.

Oriental Rugs True Pieces of Art

oriental rugsOne way to learn to appreciate oriental rugs to their fullest is to study the designs. Many of the design elements have significance, and it is known that in some regions it is believed that no rug can be perfect as “Only God is perfect”. We can have our own values and ideas, but the thought behind this is profound. Although we always strive for perfection, we know that all too easily mistakes may be made. Once we know this, we will not fault others for their mistakes and recognize that in our best works there will still be imperfections.
