Straight run staircase to 2 floors, is it a good idea?
Comments (6)Hard to say just from your description. Might take a clever stair designer to come up with a better solution for you. Are you thinking for esthetics or function or both? Is this a remodel? Please give us some more info so we can help.

Comments (6)Cement tile is very popular in my area now. My client is considering it for a bathroom. I am unlikely to recommend epoxy or any other coating. It would change the look and feel too much. I prefer to apply penetrant. I call it that, rather than "sealer," because it does not prevent leaks, or even absorption in porous tile, or grout. It protects calcium based cement and grout from reacting with acid, but it is not perfect and it needs to be reapplied periodically. Wine, salad dressing, lemon, and any tart food would react with cement I am hesitant to recommend cement tile for a bathroom. I am afraid of it as a kitchen floor. Sure it is a knock-out gorgeous material, but will caring for it make some clients wish they hadn't fallen in love? I would like to hear from home owners who have lived with it for a few years. Has anybody lived with it in another Morocco?...See MoreIs a dog master of your domain? Post a pic of your K9 in your home

Comments (1)Hi Lucie, Cork flooring is an excellent product for any interior. A "down stairs" area (when speaking of cork) is a "floating floor" installation. Cork/rubber combinations are all the rage at this time because of the durability/cushion. I also know the price is SIGNIFICANT when working with rubber or rubber/cork combinations. For the price of a rubber floor, you can choose a high end solid hardwood. The drawback to rubber = smell/off gassing. Even a revulcanized rubber (they burn it again to get rid of more of the smell) can still leave an unpleasant odour for quite a long time. When rubber is in direct sunlight or heat is added, the smell returns. Rubber will deteriorate in direct sunlight = crumbling. Cork will simply "fade" but not crumble. In a place like Tahoe where nature is revered, a cork floor would be a better compliment to the surroundings. Rubber can be more modern/industrial looking. Cork floating floors can go everywhere except a bathroom. This is where the glue down cork tiles come into play. Cork floating flooring can start as low as $2.29/sf and range into the $15 per square foot range (depending on the dealer). At icorkfloor.com the highest priced cork floor is the printed cork at $4.59/sf...the rest are below $4/sf. Rubber underlay starts at $4/sf and the flooring doubles that price and then ranges much higher. I would find out about VOC testing for the rubber products you are looking to use. If you or your family have any sensitivities (asthma, COPD, migraines, etc), rubber may not be an option....See More
