We're building a new (tract) home and my Houzz research leads me to feel that a hard surface (we're not sure if the builder does hardwoods, but they do laminate and LVP) would be better than carpet. I agree with - this has been a great thread. when it's a known fact that DUST is mainly particulates which have been collected by, or shed by CARPET.
Most people attribute "dusty furniture" to DIRT. (that which isn't sucked up by the vacuum cleaner). hardwood flooring is a stable product, which will not "SHED" all of the nasty acrylic/nylon/petroleum based fibers into the air, which is what we BREATH. The consensus USED to be that carpet was preferable, because it was "warm & soft", however the test of time has proven that wood flooring is:Ī} "environmentally friendly" (being a product of nature.)ĭ} With the little bit of care needed, it will outlast carpet for DECADES, and with a bit of attention to product appearance/choice, it will remain "in style" almost indefinitely.Į} MOST importantly. over the years, we've provided hardwood flooring for a number of clients, and have NEVER had anyone comment that it was the wrong decision. I could probably write 3 pages worth of nonsense, which would seem "tainted" because I'm in the business of manufacturing hardwood flooring. I've copied & pasted a comment I made 20 minutes ago! haha
Houzz master bedroom carpet install#
This will be the main egress to the back patio.įinally, for much less money you can install a couple windows and a double french door unit. This unit is 16 feet wide and 8 feet tall. We are using the Marvin Ultimate in our new home. If this door will be used frequently don't skimp. Even though both slide one has the locking mechanism and will likely be the one you use when not opening both sliding panels. Otherwise you may have to remove active panels to access surfaces on the stationary panels.ĭesignate active and inactive sliding panels. Paint the interior of the stationary panels prior to installing active panels. Don't be disappointed when the opening is less than what you thought it would be. Stops can sometimes be modified and door handles chosen that allow for wider opening. Handles on the active doors are protected from hitting the stationary units by stops typically. The sliding units do not open completely to the edge of the stationary panels. You may be looking at a 16 foot unit in a showroom but buying a smaller unit. Know the egress opening width for the unit. Looking to tear up carpet now and put down hardwood. We have rugs throughout the house yet this carpet seems to be the one that the dogs feet get cleaned on as well as shoes. Three years after finishing our house and going around and around whether to extend hardwood into master we now know we should have done it! This is the only carpet on the first floor and the room the dogs and people head to after getting home. I believe the door model is the Premium Vinyl (v-4500) 4 panel multi-slide. Not sure I have a choice but interested to hear your opinions. But what about quality? I am praying not all Jeld-Wen products are created equal. I know my builder works with them directly (vs through HD/Lowes) so I won't have to deal with JW directly. I was looking for thoughts on the style factor but then read some pretty horrific reviews about Jeld-Wen. We thought it would be great to change it to a 4-panel sliding patio door to increase air flow and floor space. The current floor plan calls for 2 windows and double french doors out to a screened porch (picture is of the same floor plan in somebody else's home under construction). The builder is known for his high quality and stylish homes - avg. We are building in a small community of 28 semi-custom homes. I'm a little worried though because I've read previous reviews about the product and they are daunting! Hoping (naively) to get different opinions! Another design question has come up in our new home build and I'd love to hear your thoughts.
