Why is this stuff legal?
>>2845884Explain why it shouldn't be.
>>2845884>Why is this stuff legal?>>2845904>Explain why it shouldn't be.In fact, explain why the government should have any say at all in whether a flooring product is legal or not. Seems like something they should have zero input on because fuck the government and fuck government overreach
>>2845884What's wrong with it? Is that vinyl or laminate? I just had revwood premiere adobe oak installed in my basement, it's beautiful and no formaldehyde smell, and yes I had the air tested. It's great for relatively water proof flooring and areas that wood would get scratched and dented too easily.
>>2845884this shit always reminds me of seeing dated 90s-built kitchens in the mid 2000s. the linoleum floors would start peeling up, and even if they didn't they looked like the shit you'd see in a dollhouse, not a real house. in 10 years trends will change and this type of flooring is going to look like linoleum and turn people away
>>2845915I cant wait to introduce my lead line asbestos paneling on the market.
>>2845941liberturdian demolished
>>2845925and they're going to find something even worse
>>2845904It's ugly.
Just needs some gaudy busy high contrast tile to complete the look
so what kind of flooring should i use?
>>2845941>asbestos is bad because... because the government funded studies and government funded universities said it was bad!!!!!!!!!!
Mine has soft spots in several places. Pried a piece up and there’s nothing but dusty sand shit under it. Do they really underlay it with cement board? Why did it crumble. Good thing I rent
>>2845965We can't ban your mom
>>2845983Ideally, ditra xl with all their own compounds and such with high quality porcelain or granite tiles, maybe even that fancy dekton stuff for flooring. Otherwise, carpet? hardwood (not engineering nonsense), or all else not permitting, high quality no formaldehyde laminate floors with really good prints and quality silent memory foam underlayment.
>>2845941Oh no, someone think of the children! Lets give away all our freedoms for the sake of the children!
>>2845965Well yeah, but so are you, and we let you run around.
>>2845904Big Brother knows whats best for you.
>>2846012Asbestos has been a known hazard for thousands of years
>>2846088> graniteGranite and other stone products emit radon gas and/or radiation, so you can’t allow any stone products to be used.
>>2845941Lead is still permissible and is used for shielding and soundproofing
>>2845884fiat currency has enslaved billions of people. things like hardwood furniture or hardwood floors, which were staples of middle class life just 70 years ago, are now only within the grasp of 7+ figure rich households.
>>2846295Im 5 figure income and im putting oak floor in soon
>>2846376Also 5 figure, I've got ash. Almost like if you do it yourself you can afford lots of things, but some people have problems with their narrative not being followed so they have to post crazy crap like that guy. Notice he doesn't even mention that oak and ash (which were the woods that were put into most houses 70 years ago) were also the cheapest ones you could get, and people looked at them like they look at engineered wood today. Just goes to show, be prepared!
Installed this for a client a year ago, they bough it themselves. got the whole floor done in two hours. had problem cutting holes in it for pipes and fittings because it's basically cardboard.Lasted a year, damaged by the weight of furniture, wore out near door. It's a great way of delaying to have to pay for proper flooring for a year. if you're trying to live in a shed, and it's the insulation or the flooring, you buy this shit. Can't think of any other reason
have laminate plank flooring in my living room8 years old and still good
>>2846088>Otherwise, carpet?Revolting show of poverty>hardwoodCommieblock standard flooring. If they could have it you can have it and SHPULD have it.
>>2846269The amount given off by granite flooring is less than you'd get flying for a few seconds at altitude.
>>2846088Stratamat i better grampa
>>2845918Enjoy your toxic fume inhalation death during the fire, bro.
>>2846116It's probably much safer than aluminum fiberglass. On another note, WW3 battles will go much faster, in either direction in the usa and eu, because of the lack of asbestos.
>>2846823>aluminum fiberglasswhat?
>>2846811It's laminate not vinyl, if MDF/HDF fumes are deadly, we're all dead anyway.
>>2845918it off gases formaldehyde
>>2847234there are some non-formaldenhyde laminates and mohawk revwood line is one of the few.
>>2846088>carpet?Unironically garbage. I don't know why people put carpet in, the shit is absolutely the worst. Put in a regular floor and buy a fucking rug, ffs.
Am a carpenter and have a real wood floor that I love, is a wood frame house with a wood foundation over packed Earth. And even I don't have a problem with this stuff. There are other choices than vinyl if you are not building with planks.
>>2847557All the new builds I've worked on had a stone masonry foundation, concrete.You can leave that bare, carpet, vinyl, real planks, tile, what have you.Wood does last longer than concrete, but even stone crumbles.
>>2847560>All the new builds I've worked on had a stone masonry foundation, concrete.You can leave it bare for a intended effect. Not bad, this is what a woodshop floor looks like. Kind of Spartan, but not ugly. Can be polished.
>>2847561>You can leave it bare for an* intended effect.Rich people seem to like it, looks modern.I'd prefer my wood floor to the concrete.Some very old buildings have stone.Does not look bad, pretty cool.
>>2847335yeah but that's not the shit the majority of people use. It's the cheap, toxic shit from Bloews or JewDepot. Enjoy cancer. I hear it's fun,
>>2847561My basement has tile on top of the concrete except in the laundry room and i dont really understand why they bothered
>>2846379How does it hold up against moisture?
>>2846823>safer than aluminum fiberglassrock and glasswool bade before 2002 or so is almost as cancerous as asbestos (has to do with the lengt and thickness of the fibres).in 2002 the manufactures tweaked their machines to produce fiber geometries which can be removed by the body within a few weeks.Old glass fibers last a few years and asbestos can never be removed by the body from the lungs.
>>2847557Are you sure that's wood?
>>2847554I have chestnut floors after having lived with carpet forever. If it's done well in specific rooms and not just "Beige/brown carpet on every square foot" it can be really nice.
>>2847562>>2847561I can't imagine why you would want polished cement in a living space over large format tile, stone, or wood.
