you cut them so they fit
You should not tile on top of a hardwood floor. If you do, it will crack as the wood underneath will expand and contract throughout the seasons. Instead you should be installing on top of some sort of concrete floor. You could either add mud/self leveling mix or cement board. You may also want to remove the hardwood first, if you can.
It depends on the price of the mulch.
Assuming a brick is 4" x 8", if you lay out your bricks, 3 wide and 3 long, you'll get an area 12 inches x 24 inches. So every 9 brick, you'll cover 2 square feet. This gives the basic calculation of 4.5 bricks per square foot. A 12' x 12' room is 144 square feet. 144 x 4.5 = 648 bricks needed
Make sure the sub surface is clean.If it is not cement,you would have to add additive to the thin set addhesive to bond to the floor.Lay out floor from center of room off both walls.Snap line on floor to form a grid to fallow.Place the tile's in the grid depending on the size of the tile.If you lay 4 tile's on floor as example leave space for grout.You will have your grid square.With a 1/4" notch trowel place mixed thinset in the grid.Then apply some thin set to the underside of tile with trowel and remove excess with trowel for a good bond.If you place thinset on floor only and don't apply to underside of tile,they will all come loose in a matter of time.Good luck
Yes - because, when you lay regular octagons together so they're touching, the space between the octagons is a perfect square.
depends on the room size
i guess it means if you are laying floor s down and in your room you have a corner that is ninety degrees, you would be laying down floors in a 90 degree angled area
To lay hardwood flooring properly, start by preparing the subfloor, ensuring it is clean and level. Acclimate the hardwood planks to the room's temperature and humidity. Begin laying the planks perpendicular to the floor joists, leaving a small gap around the edges for expansion. Use a flooring nailer or adhesive to secure the planks in place. Finish by adding trim and transitions for a polished look.
To lay hardwood floors properly and efficiently, start by preparing the subfloor, ensuring it is clean and level. Acclimate the hardwood planks to the room's temperature and humidity.

To lay hardwood floors effectively and efficiently, start by preparing the subfloor, ensuring it is clean and level. Acclimate the hardwood planks to the room's temperature and humidity. Begin laying the planks from a straight wall, using spacers to maintain even gaps. Use a nail gun or adhesive to secure the planks in place. Cut planks to fit around obstacles and finish with trim. Vacuum and clean the floor for a polished look.

To install a floating hardwood floor over concrete, you will need to first ensure the concrete is clean, dry, and level. Next, lay down a moisture barrier and underlayment.

Laminate doesn't have to lay counter to the floor joists like traditional tongue and groove wood flooring. Manufactures state to lay the floor so the grain will be running opposite of the major light of the room. Also in narrow rooms you might want to consider that the grain should run the length of the room to help make it look larger.
A hardwood floor can wear down over time, creating lighter colored spots on a floor. A floor refinishing gives new life to hardwood flooring, giving it the same appearance as new flooring. When refinishing a floor, it's important to sand off any existing finish. This can only be done on true hardwood floors - vinyl flooring with a wood veneer will be permanently damaged by sanding. After sanding, lay down a layer of stain on the flooring. Add a layer of polyethylene to protect the wood. Allow the flooring to dry for at least 24 hours, then buff the floor complete the refinishing job.
