What is tavern grade when it come to flooring?
Aug 23, 2006 by duhryan3 | Posted in Decorating & Remodeling
I'm in the process of building and we are looking at hardwood floors. Keep seeing tavern grade flooring at a great prices. What exactly is "tavern grade"? Will it be suitable to install in a house? What thickness should I be looking for in engineered would?
Thanks!

Tavern grade just means when they log the planks, they have several levels. the core of the log is the best quality-barely any visible marks at all with the exception of the grain pattern. Tavern grade is the planks made from the outer edge of the logs thus showing knots and holes that would appear on the outside. It is more rustic, and not as clean-but if you are going for wood floors it has a lot more texture and charm. To me its the best representation of wood. I wouldnt go for engineered wood, unless you had an inspector tell you it would be best with your subfloor structure. And thickness should be determined by the height you would need it to be to meet your wall baseboards. 3/4" is the most common. Remember the thicker the more it will cost. And lastly, any grade of hardwood is of use in a house-the only difference in the grade is what part of the log the plank was cut from(outer edges-tavern)(core-quality grade)
Also its called tavern because in most taverns this is the type of wood they use-where you can see all the knot holes, etc.
Hopes this helps. PS if you have dogs be careful hardwood vs. laminate flooring will show stratches.

Like the rest have said Tavern grade is just the outer edge of the log that is being used. Along with the knots in the wood you also have to take into consideration the density of the wood. The core or select wood is going to be denser that Tavern grade meaning less scratching and denting. To me it all depends on what look you are going for with the house. If you want more of a rustic, country , log home type of feel go for Tavern. If not go with more of your standard 3/4 prefinished wood. If you are looking at engineered then I would suggest 3/4 inch and no less than 5/8 7 or 9 ply engineered for a home you are going to live in. The beauty of engineered is the structural stability, you can apply to below, on , and above grade applications with glue staples and nails. The downside on the thinner planks i.e. 1/4" / 3/8" you can only RE-SCREEN not refinish. By re-screen I mean only taking off the polyurethane not sanding the wood. Anyway Tavern grade is not bad if you want that look, and by the way it's cheap. Good luck

Is a 1st grade porcelain tile suitable for flooring in main living areas?
Jan 27, 2008 by Angel | Posted in Decorating & Remodeling
I have never heard of first grade porcelain tile but as long as it is a floor tile that will be fine.I have tile in my house but in the livingroom, I have a wood floor because the tile is so hard and cold feeling. Wood Floors are much better for the back as they give a little bit, but tile is great if you let the dogs inside then you don't have to worry about scratches to the floor. I like the 16inch tile versus a smaller tile and done in a diamond pattern they look nice. Just make sure the tile is for floors, and it is a strong, durable tile. I would look into other flooring materials such as stone tile before you make a decision. Good Luck.

Remodeling a bathroom to make a tile shower. I need to know the best way to grade the floors so I can line up all the tiles but still have a slope for drainage?
which is a better flooring option for a below grade basement - laminate, cork, or carpet?
Nov 29, 2006 by oneangryasian | Posted in Decorating & Remodeling
It depends on if it is prone to water or not. If so, I'd go with the laminate. If not, I'd go with the carpet so that it's not as cold on the feet when you go down there.
