Linoleum Kitchen Floors are an Inexpensive Option That is Making a Comeback

Linoleum kitchen flooring is one of the oldest flooring materials around and it has shown it can stand the test of time. Gone are the days where linoleum was available in just white, black, and grey today there are more than 200 different colors, designs, and patterns to choose from, some manufactures even allow you to design your own.

Made from mixing linseed oil, sawdust, limestone, and color pigments tied with jute fiber linoleum is considered to be environmentally friendly. Because of the ingredients that it is made from linoleum has a natural resistance to bacteria and other things. On the downside is also something related to the ingredients that it is made with is it will often fade over time so make sure you think about that before you go out and buy linoleum flooring.

All of these benefits are often overlooked because of its history as a boring option for the home.

-Made of natural materials

-Very easy to clean and maintain

-Resistant to different forms of bacteria as well as water and fire

Cons:

-Not really a con but its history is a big downside more because of people's views of it due to the way it was as compared to the way it actually is now-a-day

As far as the cost go linoleum kitchen floors will run you somewhere between $4-8.50 per square foot with installation being an extra cost unless you try to tackle it as a do-it-yourself project. Installation is not as easy as laminate or wood flooring however it is not impossible for a normal homeowner with some DIY experience. If the only reason you haven't thought about linoleum floors in your kitchen is because of what you heard about them in the past you might want to take a second look because they really do offer a lot of benefit and will not break the bank.

Description

The Counter-Snap screws are designed to bind the hardwood floor and the subfloor together, stopping the movement and squeaks, then snap at the score that is set 1/4 inch below the hardwood flooring. Just fill the small hole with a wood filler to conceal it and you're done.We make two screws to stop floor squeaks in hardwood floors. One screw is designed for use at the joist. This screw has two diferent pitches separated by a section where there is no thread. By having the screw designed this way we are able to have the screw pull the hardwood and subfloor tight to the joist.The joist screw won't work between the joist because the separation of thread is greater than the thichness of the hardwood flooring and the subfloor. This I know seems confusing but it means that thread is only in the hardwood and not the subfloor so it cannot stop the movement.We designed the Counter-Snap screws for between the joist to have thread in both boards at the same time. We use our weight to push the floor subfloor together then the fixture forces the head to snap off 1/4 inch below the top of the wood flooring.The Counter-Snap package includes 50 scored screws, a snap off fixture, a square headed driver bit and complete instructions.

Features

  • The Counter-Snap package includes 50 scored screws, a snap off fixture, a square headed driver bit
  • We designed the Counter-Snap for at the joist to have thread in both boards at the same time.
  • The joist screw won't work between the joist (try O' Berry's 3236)
