    Masterful Job! Home Depot had a trial with teeth to spread the adhesive...apparently, you just need a thin coat like seen here...I have never done it or even seen it done...so, UA-cam is a great help with the Floor Doctor.

    When cutting in walls try placing a full tile ontop of the already laid and cut on the back side follow down the tile pull up the you cut and swap tiles and put full one replacing the one you just cut and put the one you into the gap between wall will guarantee a nice flush fit

    If you are putting in carpet square tiles do you still stagger them or lay them in straight lines?

    Are the peel and stick carpet tiles ok for over concrete floor in a basement? I was told to use uzin 888 to fill in any imperfections in my concrete, does this sound good?

    • @williamdavid3306
      @williamdavid3306 4 роки тому

      Yes absolutely. If doing peel and stick carpet tile you'll need the recommended primer and roll on with a nap roller 👍

  • @JamesTalmageR
    @JamesTalmageR Рік тому +1

    Do you have a preferred adhesive for vinyl backed tiles over concrete? I am installing in my basement.
    Also, some of the products I'm looking at allow for rolling with a paint roller. I'm sure notched trowels are better / allow for more glue for commercial applications, but rolling seems a lot easier for someone who's not all that experienced.

      Yes, but please note you can either install by glue, or use the "tac tile" technique. If your not familiar with that technique please let me know and I can help.

      It does depend on the layout, but for the most part I like to start at the entry way with the solid tiles working my way out.

      Hi, all depends on the layout of the job and which product is being used. Typically, here in the Bay Area we charge about a $1 a sq ft.

    No padding required??

    • @floordoctor5667
      @floordoctor5667  4 роки тому +1

      When it comes to carpet tiles, no padding is required because most already have a backing ( padded, rubber, vinyl, etc) all tiles being different when purchased.

  • @Rock_Shady
    @Rock_Shady 4 роки тому +2

    You could use a proper glue trowel? And try just scoring it with one pass of your knife, fold it until it snaps and just cut the carpet fibres. 0 chance of fraying the loops of already installed tiles. I know your barley cutting through them, I just cringed when I seen that I'm sure your carefull but it's still risky.

      @floordoctor5667  4 роки тому +3

      Richard Moss
      ashlar and brick are the same pattern. The only differences is which way the direction of the carpet tile is going when entering the room. This is actually a brick pattern. If you notice when entering the door.

    • @richardmoss9188
      @richardmoss9188 3 роки тому

      Hi floor doctor. I thought the same as you for years until an old guy told me I was wrong. I googled it and he was right. Ashlar and brick bond patterns are based from the arrows on the back not how it looks when you walk in the room. Carpet planks are always layed ashlar.
