Best be careful -- up till 1986, Kentile tiles were full of asbestos. The company filed for Chapter 11 in the 90s because of all the lawsuits. Better have them checked by a professional.
I have old (20 plus probably) Kentile flooring in my home that I would like to wax. They are very dull and only stay shiny for a short period of time when I wax them with just a generic floor wax such as Johnsons or Armstrong. Does anyone know the proper procedure for cleaning, sealing, waxing this type of floor? Vinyl flooring is the easiest flooring to maintain. It cleans up easily with a myriad of products. I prefer "Armstrong" vinyl floor cleaner. It is available at most supermarkets. Follow the instructions on the label. For deeper cleaning- particularly on textured vinyl- get on your hands and knees and use a scrub brush. I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results.
vinyl is impervious to liquid and does not need any sealing.
the door seal has a magnet strip in it
You don't need to seal prefinished flooring. Prefinished flooring comes with many coats of factory finish seal which is much stronger than any finish you could apply at home. If the flooring has been down for some years and you feel it needs to have new coat of finish. It needs to be lightly sanded and polyurethane (about 2-3 layers) need to be applied. Once again I would not recommend doing this unless the factory finish has worn down.
If you purchase and install good quality laminate flooring, you should not have to seal it. Generally, it's difficult to seal and may not seal reliably. Some people will use silicone to seal their floors, but its best to ask an expert because of the skill level to complete this job.
Yes. In fact, it's a good practice to run a bead of silicone along the edge to seal out moisture that could creep under your flooring and ruin it.
If the new door seal has more clips than is necessary to install it on a Jeep Wrangler, the seal can be trimmed with a scissors to fit the door. Another way to remedy this is to return the door strip to the store where purchased and get the smaller, half door seal.
Vina-Strip Seal For Garage Doors works great.
there is a vinyl strip called a TUB STRIP probably the Home depot or a carpet installation supply store, think yellow pages!
It depends on the type of tile you have. If the tile is unglazed and porous (as mostly all travertine is) then you will need to seal the tile before you grout it so that the grout does not soak into the tile and cause it to become dull. Follow the manufacturers recommendation for the tile that you have.
Take a pick, pull out the locking strip. Spray the area around the window seal liberally with window cleaner (and do this throughout the entire process). Take your pick (has to be a large pick), put it through the window seal on the side, pop the broken window out. Spray the window seal again with window cleaner, start sliding the new window into the seal at 3/4 in, then you use your pick to pull the window seal back over the window. Once that's done, you reinstall the locking strip... either you use a tool specifically made for this, or do it with your pick.
Yes. Depending on what type it is. The stem can strip so it will not close, the washer can break up so it does not seal. A gate valve can corrode and not seal completely. Lots of ways for one to fail.
