He played for the Philadelphia/San Francisco Warriors, the Philadelphia 7. Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association (NBA); he played for the University of Kansas and also for the Harlem Globetrotters before playing in the NBA. The 7 foot 1 inch Chamberlain weighed 2. He played the center position and is widely considered one of the greatest and most dominant players in NBA history. He is the only player to score 1. NBA game or average more than 4. He also won seven scoring, eleven rebounding, nine field goal percentage titles and led the league in assists once. He is also the only player to average at least 3. NBA career. Although he suffered a long string of professional losses. He hated the ones that called attention to his height such as . He preferred . He was a lifelong bachelor, and became notorious for his claim to have had sexual intercourse with as many as 2. Chamberlain changed that. He scored 3. 4 points, won Overbrook the Public League title and a berth for the Philadelphia city championship game against the winner of the rival Catholic league, West Catholic. Chamberlain scored 3. Overbrook to a flawless 1. Subsequently, owners Milton and Helen Kutsher kept up a lifelong friendship with Wilt, and according to their son Mark, . Born, elected the Most Valuable Player of the 1. NCAA Finals. Chamberlain won 2. Born was so dejected that he gave up a promising NBA career and became a tractor engineer (. Scoring 3. 5 points, Chamberlain led Overbrook to an easy 8. At KU, Chamberlain became a player for the Kansas Jayhawksfreshman team under coach Phog Allen, whom he admired, and also a member of Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity, where he was the president of his pledge class. Chamberlain dominated his older college mates by scoring 4. Chamberlain had a bad relationship with Allen's successor, Dick Harp, fueled by resentment and disappointment: Chamberlain biographer Robert Cherry has doubted whether Chamberlain would have chosen KU if he had known that Allen was going to retire. In his first varsity game the center scored 5. Kansas records in an 8. Northwestern team of future NBA teammate Joe Ruklick. When he dunked, he was so fast that a lot of players got their fingers jammed . He ran the 1. 00- yard dash in 1. Big Eight track and field championships three straight years. The Midwest regional tourney was held in Dallas, Texas, which at the time was segregated. In the first game, the Jayhawks played the all- white SMU team, and KU player John Parker later said: . We were spat on, pelted with debris, and subjected to the vilest racial epithets possible. The next game against Oklahoma City was equally unpleasant, with KU winning 8. Chamberlain demonstrated his growing arsenal of offensive moves, including jump shots, put- backs, tip- ins, and his turnaround jump shot. He was far more comfortable and effective at the foul line than he would later be during his pro career. He had outstanding foot speed throughout the game, and several times led the fast break, including blocking a shot near the basket and then outracing the field for a layup. His stellar performance led Kansas to an insurmountable lead, and he rested on the bench for the final 3: 4. Chamberlain made the First Team of the All- America squad and led his Jayhawks into the NCAA finals against the Tar Heels of North Carolina. In that game, Tar Heels coach Frank Mc. Guire used several unorthodox tactics to thwart Chamberlain. For the tip- off, he sent his shortest player, Tommy Kearns, in order to rattle Chamberlain, and the Tar Heels spent the rest of the night triple- teaming him, one defender in front, one behind, and a third arriving as soon as he got the ball. After several Tar Heel turnovers, the game was tied at 4. In the third overtime, the Tar Heels scored two consecutive baskets, but Chamberlain executed a three- point play, leaving KU trailing 5. After King scored a basket, Kansas was ahead by one point, but then Tar Heel Joe Quigg was fouled on a drive with 1. For the final play, Dick Harp called for Ron Loneski to pass the ball into Chamberlain in the low post. The pass was intercepted, however, and the Tar Heels won the game. Nonetheless, Chamberlain, who scored 2. Chamberlain later admitted that this loss was the most painful of his life. Knowing how dominant Chamberlain was, the opponents resorted to freeze- ball tactics and routinely used three or more players to guard him. It was a small consolation that he was again named an All- American, along with future NBA Hall- of- Famers Elgin Baylor and Oscar Robertson plus old rival Guy Rodgers. In 1. 99. 8, Chamberlain returned to Allen Field House in Lawrence, Kansas to participate in a jersey- retiring ceremony for his #1. Around this time, he has been quoted as saying: . That is totally ridiculous. Therefore, Chamberlain was prohibited from joining the NBA for a year, and decided to play for the Harlem Globetrotters in 1. In comparison, the previous top earner was Bob Cousy of the Boston Celtics with $2. Eddie Gottlieb bought the whole Warriors franchise for $2. In his first NBA game, against the New York Knicks, the rookie center scored 4. Chamberlain and his perennial nemesis would grow to become one of the NBA's greatest on- court rivalries of all time. He needed only 5. Bob Pettit, who needed 7. However, it also became evident that he was an atrocious free- throw shooter, making hardly half of his foul shots. As time progressed, Chamberlain grew even worse, and acknowledged he was simply a . Cherry described how Celtics coach Red Auerbach ordered his forward Tom Heinsohn to commit personal fouls on Chamberlain: whenever the Warriors shot foul shots, Heinsohn grabbed and shoved Chamberlain to prevent him from running back quickly; his intention was that the Celtics would throw the ball in so fast that the prolific shotblocker Chamberlain was not yet back under his own basket, and Boston could score an easy fastbreak basket. In the scuffle, Wilt injured his hand, and Philadelphia lost the next two games. But in Game 6, Heinsohn got the last laugh, scoring the decisive basket with a last- second tip- in. He was tired of being double- and triple- teamed, and of teams coming down on him with hard fouls. Chamberlain feared he might lose his cool one day. As Chamberlain often said, quoting coach Alex Hannum's explanation of his situation, . He became the first player to break the 3,0. In retrospect, Eddie Gottlieb remarked: . In that year, Wilt set several all- time records which have never been threatened. In the 1. 96. 2 season, he averaged 5. Chamberlain's 4,0. Chamberlain once again broke the 2,0. Additionally, he was on the hardwood for an average of 4. Pomerantz (2. 00. Chamberlain as a metaphor for the uprising of Black America. In the 1. 96. 2 NBA Playoffs, the Warriors met the Boston Celtics again in the Eastern Division Finals, a team which Bob Cousy and Bill Russell called the greatest Celtics team of all time. In a closely contested Game 7, Chamberlain tied the game at 1. Celtics shooting guard Sam Jones hit a clutch shot with two seconds left to win the series for Boston. In his defense, Warriors coach Frank Mc. Guire said . Ex- soldier Hannum, who later entered the Basketball Hall of Fame as a coach, was a crafty psychologist who emphasized defense and passing. Most importantly, he was not afraid to stand up to the dominant Chamberlain, who was known to . In that series they succumbed to Russell's Boston Celtics yet again, this time losing 4–1. Soon, the young Lew Alcindor was allowed into his inner circle, and quickly idolized the ten- year older NBA player. Unfortunately, Chamberlain and Kareem Abdul- Jabbar, as Alcindor would name himself later, would develop an intensely personal antipathy. At the 1. 96. 5 All- Star break Chamberlain was traded to the Philadelphia 7. Syracuse Nationals. In return the Warriors received Paul Neumann, Connie Dierking, Lee Shaffer (who opted to retire rather than report to the Warriors), and $1. Wilt is easy to hate . Cherry remarks that there was a certain tension within the team: Greer was the formerly undisputed leader and was not willing to give up his authority, and Jackson, a talented center, was now forced to play power forward because Chamberlain blocked the center spot; however, as the season progressed, the three began to mesh better. The press called it an even matchup in all positions, even at center, where Bill Russell was expected to give Chamberlain a tough battle. In that Game 7, both centers were marvelous: Chamberlain scored 3. Russell logged 1. Russell botched the inbounds pass, hitting a guy- wire over the backboard and giving the ball back to the Sixers.

Mormonism - Wikipedia. British edition of the Book of Mormon. Mormonism is the predominant religious tradition of the Latter Day Saint movement of Restorationist. Christianity. Joseph Smith founded the movement in Western New York in the 1.
During the 1. 83. Protestantism. Mormonism represents the faith taught by Smith in the 1. After he was killed in 1. Zeref Dragneel ( Kotaku PC games and (sometimes) MMA reporter person. Mindless vessel for a sentient mop of hair. The Black Pearl was an infamous pirate ship, originally named the Wicked Wench. At one point it. Mormons followed Brigham Young on his westward journey to the area that became the Utah Territory, calling themselves The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints (LDS Church). Other sects include Mormon fundamentalism, which seeks to maintain practices and doctrines such as polygamy. The second- largest Latter Day Saint denomination, the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints, since 2. Community of Christ, does not describe itself as . The book describes itself as a chronicle of early indigenous peoples of the Americas and their dealings with God. Based on the name of that book, early followers of Smith were more widely known as Mormons, and their faith was called Mormonism. The term was initially considered pejorative. It also accepts the Pearl of Great Price as part of its scriptural canon, and has a history of teaching eternal marriage, eternal progression, and polygamy (plural marriage) (although the LDS Church formally abandoned the practice of plural marriage in 1. Cultural Mormonism, a lifestyle promoted by Mormon institutions, includes cultural Mormons who identify with the culture, but not necessarily with the theology. Brief history. Smith, Oliver Cowdery, and other early followers, began baptizing new converts in 1. Formally organized in 1. Church of Christ. Both the special spectacles and the seer stone were at times referred to as the . Smith began dictating the text of The Book of Mormon around the fall of 1. Translation began again in April 1. June 1. 82. 9. During Smith's supposed possession, very few people were allowed to . According to The Book of Mormon, Lehi's family left Jerusalem at the urging of God c. BC, and later sailed to the Americas c. The Nephites are described as descendants of Nephi, the fourth son of the prophet Lehi. The Nephites are portrayed as having a belief in Christ hundreds of years before his birth. Historical accuracy and veracity of the Book of Mormon was and continues to be hotly contested. No archaeological, linguistic, or other evidence of the use of Egyptian writing in ancient America has been discovered. Violence between the Missourians and church members resulted in the governor of Missouri issuing an . The church bought the town, renamed it Nauvoo, and lived with a degree of peace and prosperity for a few years. Plural marriage became the faith's most sensational characteristic during the 1. United States Congress threatened the church's existence as a legal institution. Further, polygamy was also a major cause for the opposition to Mormonism in the states of Idaho and Arizona. In addition, Mormons believe that Smith and his legitimate successors are modern prophets who receive revelation from God to guide the church. They maintain that other religions have a portion of the truth and are guided by the light of Christ. In Mormonism, life on earth is just a short part of an eternal existence. Mormons believe that in the beginning all people existed as spirits or . In this process, people inevitably make mistakes, becoming unworthy to return to the presence of God. Mormons believe that Jesus paid for the sins of the world, and that all people can be saved through his atonement. The Earth is just one of many inhabited worlds, and there are many governing heavenly bodies, including the planet or star Kolob, which is said to be nearest the throne of God. Ordinances. The term has a meaning roughly similar to that of the term . For example, baptism is required for exaltation, but simply having been baptized does not guarantee any eternal reward. The baptized person is expected to be obedient to God's commandments, to repent of any sinful conduct subsequent to baptism, and to receive the other saving ordinances. Because Mormons believe that everyone must receive certain ordinances to be saved, Mormons perform ordinances on behalf of deceased persons. In accordance with their belief in each individual's . In addition, these . Only ordinances for salvation are performed on behalf of deceased persons. See also: Baptism for the dead. Scripture. While Mormons believe in the general accuracy of the modern day text of the Bible, they also believe that it is incomplete and that errors have been introduced. These books, as well as the Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible, have varying degrees of acceptance as divine scripture among different denominations of the Latter Day Saint movement. Revelation. This communication can be manifest in many ways: influences of the Holy Ghost (the principal form in which this principle is manifest), visions, visitations of divine beings, and others. Joseph Smith used the example of the Lord's revelations to Moses in Deuteronomy to explain the importance of continuous revelation. Whatever God commands is right, no matter what it is, although we may not see the reason thereof till long after the events transpire. In Mormonism, revelation is not limited to church members. For instance, Latter Day Saints believe that the United States Constitution is a divinely inspired document. It also teaches that everyone is entitled to personal revelation with respect to his or her stewardship (leadership responsibility). Thus, parents may receive inspiration from God in raising their families, individuals can receive divine inspiration to help them meet personal challenges, church officers may receive revelation for those whom they serve. The important consequence of this is that each person may receive confirmation that particular doctrines taught by a prophet are true, as well as gain divine insight in using those truths for their own benefit and eternal progress. In the church, personal revelation is expected and encouraged, and many converts believe that personal revelation from God was instrumental in their conversion. This discord led to a series of sometimes- deadly conflicts between Mormons and others who saw themselves as orthodox Christians. This gives rise to efforts by Mormons and opposing types of Christians to proselytize each other. Mormons believe in Jesus Christ as the literal firstborn Son of God and Messiah, his crucifixion as a conclusion of a sin offering, and subsequent resurrection. Mormons believe that the people of the Book of Mormon lived in the western hemisphere, that Christ appeared in the western hemisphere after his death and resurrection, that the true faith was restored in Upstate New York by Joseph Smith, that the Garden of Eden was located in North America, and that the New Jerusalem would be built in Missouri. For this and other reasons, including a belief by many Mormons in American exceptionalism, Molly Worthen speculates that this may be why Leo Tolstoy described Mormonism as the . The faith incorporates many Old Testament ideas into its theology, and the beliefs of Mormons sometimes parallel those of Judaism and certain elements of Jewish culture. In the earliest days of Mormonism, Joseph Smith taught that the Indigenous peoples of the Americas were members of some of the Lost Tribes of Israel. Later, he taught that Mormons were Israelites, and that they may learn of their tribal affiliation within the twelve Israelite tribes. Members of the LDS Church receive Patriarchal blessings which declare the recipient's lineage within one of the tribes of Israel. The lineage is either through true blood- line or adoption. The LDS Church teaches that if one is not a direct descendant of one of the twelve tribes, upon baptism he or she is adopted into one of the tribes. Patriarchal blessings also include personal information which is revealed through a patriarch by the power of the priesthood. The Mormon affinity for Judaism is expressed by the many references to Judaism in the Mormon liturgy. For example, Smith named the largest Mormon settlement he founded Nauvoo, which means . Brigham Young named a tributary of the Great Salt Lake the . The LDS Church created a writing scheme called the Deseret Alphabet, which was based, in part, on Hebrew. The LDS Church has a Jerusalem Center in Israel, where students focus their study on Near Eastern history, culture, language, and the Bible. In the 1. 99. 0s, Jewish groups vocally opposed the LDS practice of baptism for the dead on behalf of Jewish victims of the Holocaust and Jews in general. According to LDS Church general authority Monte J. This epithet repeated a comparison that had been made from Smith's earliest career. Comparison of the Mormon and Muslim prophets still occurs today, sometimes for derogatory or polemical reasons. Mormon–Muslim relations have been historically cordial. Each religion sees its founder (Muhammad for Islam, and Joseph Smith for Mormonism) as being a true prophet of God, called to re- establish the truths of these ancient theological belief systems that have been altered, corrupted, or lost. In addition, both prophets received visits from an angel, leading to additional books of scripture. Both religions share a high emphasis on family life, charitable giving, chastity, abstention from alcohol, and a special reverence for, though not worship of, their founding prophet. Before the 1. 89. Manifesto against plural marriage, Mormonism and Islam also shared in the belief in and practice of plural marriage, a practice now held in common by Islam and various branches of Mormon fundamentalism. The religions differ significantly in their views on God. Islam insists upon the complete oneness and uniqueness of God (Allah), while Mormonism asserts that the Godhead is made up of three distinct . Despite opposition from other Christian denominations, Mormonism identifies itself as a Christian religion, the . Islam does not refer to itself as . The GTA Place - GTA Vice City.

Twilight Sparkle and the Crystal Heart Spell, Fluttershy has a new fruit bat called Toby. Unlike their more colorful counterparts, vampire fruit bats are dark in color, and have red eyes and long fangs.

Laminate flooring is a great option for RVs because you can have the beautiful look of a hardwood floor without all the maintenance and installation challenges. Heres how to install laminate flooring properly, and easily. Follow these tips and tricks of the trade to get a professional finish and avoid the common DIY mistakes. Cost To Install Laminate Flooring. As with any flooring type, there are inherent advantages and disadvantages that come along with the choice of laminate flooring. One of the biggest benefits of laminate flooring that homeowners love is the price. It is less costly than installing real wood floors in the home. This type of flooring is also very durable. Unlike real wood, it is much more difficult to scratch, stain or dent laminate because of the way it is manufactured. In addition to its low price and high durability, laminate flooring also does not require much maintenance. Unlike traditional wood floors, which may require sanding and refinishing over time, all it takes to clean and maintain laminate flooring is periodic surface cleaning, which can be done using a mop, water and floor cleaner.
Floating laminate flooring (15% more sq. Laminate flooring can also typically be installed over existing flooring, which can save homeowners a lot of time and hassle. It can also save them money as removing existing flooring can be quite pricey. Homeowners considering the option to overlay should be sure, however, to buy thicker laminate flooring than average. This way, there will be less potential for a hollow space to develop between the existing floor and the laminate. Even if there is a small hollow space, this will remedy itself in time as the flooring settles and is walked upon. Homeowners can overlay laminate flooring over both tile and short pile carpet that is less than 1/4- inch high, though doing so on tile will require more padding. Of course, there are some potential drawbacks to using laminate floors as well. Some homeowners are hesitant to use it because of the fact that it's not . Some homeowners dislike how hard this type of flooring feels on the feet, but with the right underlay, this can be helped. Laminate floors cannot be finished or stained. Therefore, if a homeowner purchases laminate flooring and decides they want a different finish later, it will be necessary to completely replace the floors. Laminate flooring as opposed to real wood will yield a smaller resale value on the home. Contact a Laminate Contractor Now. Choosing the right laminate flooring is more difficult than it seems because there are so many different types available. Some specific factors to think about when choosing a particular type of laminate include: Warranty length. AC rating. Pad or underlay. Texture. Typically, most laminate flooring manufacturers include a warranty with their products. It is not uncommon to find laminate flooring that comes with a 1. A homeowner should take the time to read the terms of the warranty and know what is covered, which can save them a lot of stress and hassle down the road. The AC rating is the industry's way of ranking laminate flooring for its durability. AC levels run one through five, with five being the most durable. Having an AC 1 floor is not necessarily a bad idea, depending on where the flooring will be located. For areas with lower foot traffic such as bedrooms, AC 1 is a perfectly durable option. However, for areas with higher foot traffic, more durability is necessary. Typically, the highest needed rating for residential laminate flooring is AC 4. AC 5 is generally used in industrial and commercial flooring. For homeowners who do not want any surprise expenses after buying the flooring, they should find a flooring type that comes with underlayment or padding already attached to the flooring. Underlay can also be purchased separately and typically comes in 1. The only drawback is that it will take longer to install because the padding will have to be measured and cut separately. The texture of the flooring is an important consideration since it plays an important role in replicating the look and feel of real hardwood. Most laminate flooring is embossed, but the level of embossing used can vary. There is also flooring available that is made to look as though it was hand scraped like wood. A high- gloss texture is probably the best option for a finish that will be the most resistant to dents and damage. Its clean, modern, mirror finish is desirable for many homeowners. Saving on Laminate Flooring As with any home improvement project, the best way to get a great deal on laminate flooring is to simply shop around. Homeowners should also be on the lookout for special promotions from local companies. Before choosing a company for the installation of the flooring, however, it is always a good idea to read third- party reviews to ensure the company is dependable and reputable beforehand. This is especially true for those considering the option of hiring an independent contractor. Homeowners should always make sure the flooring technician is licensed and insured before allowing him or her to do any work. Get a Quote on Laminate Floors Now. Homeowners can also save on laminate flooring by having an accurate estimate of how much they are going to need to buy. The best way to do this is to determine the area of the space to be covered in laminate flooring ahead of time. Flooring is most commonly sold by the square foot. For square or rectangular rooms, the square footage can be calculated by simply multiplying the width times the length of the room. It's a good idea to purchase slightly more square footage than is actually needed to pad for errors. Overall, laminate flooring can certainly be a great choice for homeowners who want the appeal of hardwood but without the cost and maintenance. This more affordable option comes in all kinds of styles and finishes, so homeowners can achieve any look they desire in their living spaces. Thank you for submitting your feedback.

Laminate flooring (commonly referred to as “Pergo”), on the other hand is straightforward to install because it requires no anchoring per se. The laminate “floats” on the sub- flooring surface, allowing the flex and small movement necessary in an RV environment. Mod Difficulty: To effectively install laminate flooring in your RV requires some planning and a bit of patience. It is somewhat of a challenge to get the professional look the manufacturers can with a factory install, but if you have the right tools and handyman know- how, this mod is a snap, literally. You first need to determine where you want the flooring. This may seem obvious but in an RV, you may have to deal with slide- outs, furniture, and odd angles. And if you have a class A or C, consider how you will work around the captains chairs, foot wells, and stairs. Once you have decided where you want the flooring, it’s time to figure out how much flooring you actually need. This is where the fun begins. One way to closely determine the amount of flooring is to make a cardboard template of the area(s) where you want the laminate. You may have to do this using several pieces of cardboard if the area is large. Cut the cardboard to size. You don’t have to be exact, but get as close to the shape of the areas as practical. Remember, 1. 2 inches by 1. You will need to determine the total square footage of all the cardboard areas. Once you know the total, you can go buy the laminate. Add about 1. 0% to the total to be sure you buy enough. So what is this stuff made of? Laminate flooring consists of planks made from a durable laminate surface, a wood based core and a balancing backing. The planks are clicked together to form a long lasting, easy- to- maintain surface. Like almost all materials in your RV, laminate flooring expands and contracts due to changes in temperature and humidity. Before installing laminate flooring, you will need to acclimate the planks to the environment they will be installed in. This means that for 4. PRIOR to installation, you will need to put the planks, while still in their boxes, in to your RV. Set the temperature to a minimum of 6. If your floor has linoleum, is in good shape , is smooth with no tears, then you can lay the laminate over the top of it as the lino adds very little thickness to the overall flooring height. If you are replacing carpet, you must remove both the carpet and the padding. Ensure that the sub- floor is is good condition and free of bumps, protruding screws or nails, and has no moisture damage. Make any repairs necessary before proceeding. Next, lay down the foam underlayment. This step may not be necessary if the laminate you buy already has the foam attached to each plank. If it does, this can be a real time saver. If not, cut the underlayment to fit, leaving a little extra around the edges. You will trim this after laying the planks. After the acclimation period, open the boxes of laminate, put your cardboard template(s) on the lawn or driveway, and lay out the laminate on the cardboard. This will give you a feel for how the laminate will look. You can experiment with different layouts like angling the laminate, and validate you have enough for the job. Now it’s time to start laying down the laminate. This involves a lot of measuring, cutting, re- cutting, re- measuring, etc. In other words, it’s not an exact science. A mistake or two is common and entirely appropriate if you are not a professional installer. You don’t have to be perfect. The quarter rounds you will use to trim out the edges of the flooring will hide most gaps or rough cuts. Start by determining where the first plank will go. A good starting point is the most square edge of the floor/wall. Use a framing square to check the corner where you want to start. The idea is to work your way towards the non- square walls/cabinets. Once there, you can then measure the remaining area and cut a custom piece of laminate to fit. Some RV’s are made better than others in terms of plumb cabinetry and flooring. Once you find the right starting point, be sure you leave a 1/4. This is required so the flooring can “float”, or contact and expand as the temperature and humidity varies. A good technique for a nice look is to stagger the planks so that no ends line up with each other. Use a full size plank to start. When you get to the next row, cut the starting plank to 2/3 its length, and then cut a plank to 1/3 size for the third row. It should be noted at this point that some laminate requires the tongue and groove attachment of the planks to be glued. This is really a personal preference but does result in a more durable “one- piece” floor. Now it’s just a matter of laying (and gluing if necessary) the planks and cutting them to fit. You can use a jigsaw with a fine blade or a small circular saw with a fine straight- toothed blade. Use a pencil to mark cutting lines. It wipes off easily and won’t mar the surface. Be sure to account for heater floor registers. Installing laminate on stairs is done a little differently. Once you remove any carpet and padding, rubber tread, and/or flashing, you can glue laminate directly to the stair surface and stair well sides. Use a multi- surface glue that can bond differing materials. This stuff usually sets up pretty quickly so you can use the stairs a few hours after gluing. Next up is to install the floor trim, or quarter rounds, thresholds, and/or stair well bull nose trim. We’re going to take the high road here and be conservative by sealing all the edges with a pliable sealant. Since an RV is subject to high humidity in a small place, you need to ensure that any edges where moisture can get in are sealed, especially the bathroom area. Trim the excess foam underlayment that protrudes from the edges of the laminate. Apply sealant in an 1/8. This is a very important step to ensuring no water can get underneath the laminate and destroy it. For edges that run along carpet, a special carpet- to- laminate trim piece is available from the laminate manufacturer. Sealant can and should still be used here as well. Apply sealant and slide in the trim per the manufacturers instructions. This makes for a very nice transition from the carpet to the flooring and is thin enough that you won’t trip over it. For the stairs, use bull nose or flat trim. All laminate flooring manufacturers have all sorts of trim pieces to suit almost any need, so be sure and look through the maker’s catalog to see what’s available. Most any home improvement store will have samples on display as well. This will give the entry way a nice clean look while still being durable to foot traffic. Now you just need to put the RV interior back together and enjoy your beautiful new floor! If you put down laminate under a chair or other piece of furniture that is bolted to the sub- floor, drill holes 1/8. Use a thin felt pad between the furniture and the laminate so that when the furniture is bolted down, there is less friction in between the flooring and the anchor points, providing easier movement of the floor as it expands and contracts. On glued floors, you may notice swelling along the joints of your floor during the first 6 to 8 weeks after installation. THIS IS NORMAL. In fact, it is a good sign that an adequate amount of glue has been used. It is caused by the absorption of glue in the core material and will disappear as the glue fully cures. Mod. My.

Consider it as a long- term investment, something you'll touch more than any aspect of your house, and it might just last for the life of your home. Types of flooring, of course, run the gamut in price and quality. The type of flooring you install should reflect your tastes and your lifestyle. Do you need something that's easy to clean? Or is it more important that it fit the character of your house? Do you have allergies? Even once you decide on a material, you won't be able to calculate costs until you settle on the quality of the materials and the level of expertise that's needed to install it. Wood Flooring. There are two primary types of wood flooring available. The first is the solid wood floor. These floors are generally 3/4. The average cost of hardwood flooring will sit at the top end of the range. The other style of wood flooring is the . The top layer is generally made out of oak, maple, cherry, etc. Engineered wood floors are gaining in popularity because they generally cost less than the solid wood floor, but can be refinished like a solid wood floor.

Some patterns may be repeated, such as herringbone, but others treat the whole floor as a canvas to create one large image. It is very expensive depending on patterns and materials. Marquetry is like parquetry, but it is more often seen on furniture. However, when money is not an issue, it sees use on floors. A skilled woodworker can make his or her own, though. Marquetry uses more curves and creates pictures instead of just geometric shapes. Hire a Flooring Installer Near You. Return to Top. Laminate Flooring. Laminate flooring is almost always cheaper than the counterparts it imitates.

Smaller areas, such as bathrooms or laundry rooms, can cost as little as $7. Cost Factors. Typical varying cost factors that can increase or decrease your cost include: Thickness of the laminate.

With its durability ensuring that it won’t be seeing a landfill any time soon, this is a very eco- friendly way to get the natural look. Stone: Laminate flooring can be made to look like stone. Some are basic shapes while others are interlocking irregular patterns that have a more natural look. Tile: With a little texturing, laminates can look and feel like real tile. Options/Styles. Laminates come in only two types: tiles and planks. Tiles are either patterned or solid and glue into place with interlocking edges. No nails are needed. Planks are rectangular in shape and lock into place without glue or nails. There are four styles to laminates: Distressed Wood: This is an intentionally imperfect appearance to give wood laminates a more authentic look. Hand Scraped Wood: This is a technique that makes a distressed wood style look older and more rustic.
