    I run a flooring company. Lumber Liquidators only sells floors and does not install. My installers have done many side jobs over the years for people who have bought many different types of woods and laminates from Lumber Liquid. EVERY time I ask how it went, they complain( "nightmare" is...

    About to install wood floors. Looking for pointers and help

    I cannot add anything that hasn't been said. BUT AGAIN AS ABOVE -- Do not use rosin paper. Your installer probably used Aqua Bar underlayment paper. It looks JUST LIKE rosin paper but has Aqua Bar printed on it. It is a ply paper and keeps 98% of moisture out. We switched from felt to Aqua Bar...

    Linolium

    I'm in the flooring biz. True linoleum is a sheet product that usually comes in 6' widths. It is VERY expensive, more than a cheap porcelain tile even. Do you mean a regular sheet vinyl product? This is one of the more inexpensive floorcoverings. There are felt back sheet vinyl products and...

    Painted OSB floor.

    you can use a latex primer if you must, but make sure you use an OIL BASE top coat. A latex paint with an oil top coat is still not going to be durable. Garage/porch oil base floor paint is perfect

    Painted OSB floor.

    Make sure you use OIL BASE!! Latex will peel with foot traffic and stay sort of sticky due to its flexible properties.
