Flooring is one of the most visible finished surfaces in a home, and serves to unify the entire interior design. With this in mind, this book opens with an exciting idea section that shows the many ways in which flooring can enhance the appearance and function of a home. Following this is a chapter that introduces all types of flooring, discussing their merits and limitations. Next, a planning section shows all the preliminary steps: measuring, removing old flooring, evaluating and repairing the sub floor, estimating and ordering flooring. Then comes the heart of the book - complete instructions on how to install all types of flooring, with complete, easy-to-understand, step-by-step details.
