I just unintentionally bumped into the Home Depot user reviews for Armstrong VCT tiles. It's page after page after page of people who are absolutely delighted with them. And many reviewers who said that if you buy them from Home Depot expect half of them to arrive damaged, which was my...

Have you not noticed that some of the answers turned out to be misguided? People say all kinds of stuff off the top of their heads. Like you just did. But if you don't have a conversation, you don't get to what's real. C.J. was helpful and informative and never took an attitude. Thank you...

Isn't that kinda what I've got now? You're not looking at the actual floor boards, you're looking at just what you're describing. I'd certainly use leveler for the areas that are a bit wavy, and screw down any upward blips, but I think that what you want is what I've got. I know from luan...

Hello there. I am endeavoring to put VCT tiles on an old subfloor that will have some residue of the previous floor's adhesive on it. The residue is removed to flatness. You can't feel it but you can see it. I can't imagine that nobody else ever does this. I imagine that it is probably...
