How have the Provenza floors held up?

2 years ago

We are considering the Provenza Old World Warm Sands floors. Yours look great! I am curious how they have held up over time and if you have had any issues.

They held up well. The owners I did the remodel for sold the house a bit over a year ago. It was only 2 adults and an old dog and they always kept the house clean, so I can't say how the floor would hold up under heavier use.

The owners had the house on the market for 13 minutes before they got an offer. Good materials are always a smart choice.

How to fix up this wall?
Q

I suggest first you check the concrete render is not coming off. (Just check with fingers to see if some of it visibly pulls off). If it does then it could be two problems. The render used poor quality materials that contained too much salt or damp is coming through the wall from the other side (or base of wall). Both would require a professional to fix. If not just clean the wall using brick acid (wear rubber gloves and be careful) to clean it make sure no loose bits. Then paint with a waterproofer (thompsons ultra waterseal) or just Dulux weather shield in the colour you like.

Would you have stairs from kitchen/diner leading up to bedrooms?
Q
Comments (13)
Hi Mr Mr, that clarifies things. It would seem that if you go ahead with stairs from the hall then you will lose the smallest bedroom upstairs, presumably currently occupied by the youngest in the family? If so, then do you intend moving them downstairs or will you take the plunge and move yourselves into a new master bedroom downstairs? What will happen to the existing landing at the top of the stair from the dining room - could it be used to replace the lost bedroom? Could it be incorporated into one of the other bedrooms? Could it become a study [if needed]? When we extended a few years ago we took the opportunity to merge two existing bedrooms to give one larger room. The new extension provided two more bedrooms and we 'lost' one other original bedroom to become a 'landing library' open to the staircase so, in effect, a large gallery. In this way we went from a conventional 4 bed to a much larger 4 bed plus library. The house is just so much more usable in its new format. You will usually find that upstairs walls are easily moved as they are non load bearing. However, I am sure most people would agree that you should make the house suit your needs. It is well worth sitting down with a pen and paper and listing what you'd really like to achieve from the building work. If you are planning on this being a long term home then I'd take this opportunity to 'future proof' the layout for you and your family. If you are looking for resale in the foreseeable future then investing the minimum amount to get your kitchen diner is probably the way forward. Either way, good luck. P.S. given a choice, I'd still keep the stairs away from the kitchen smells... but see what the consensus is from the Houzz community.

It’s nearly the end of another year, and at Discount Flooring Depot we’d just like to say a huge thank you to our customers who supported us over the last year. We have helped you pick some truly stunning floors for your homes, and even though we love all of our wooden flooring choices equally, you certainly have your favourites too. With that in mind, we thought we’d do a round up of your favourite floors from 2017 – so if you’re thinking about a new floor for your home for 2018, this is an excellent place to start looking. Provincial Weathered Oak Flooring What’s to love? Customers love this weathered oak laminate flooring for how eye-catching these boards are. They instantly add an interesting feature to an otherwise bland and boring room, and as it’s a laminate floor, it can be used all over the house as well as being suitable for use with underfloor heating – what a versatile choice. This floor also comes with an impressive 15-year warranty, so not only is it a smart choice for your home but it’s one that will bring you peace of mind for years to come. Hydro Guard 8mm Black Tile Laminate Flooring What’s to love? Over the last 12 months, we’ve seen a huge increase in the desire for tile and stone flooring solutions where customers would normally have chosen wooden flooring, but we love this trend for its fresh and contemporary edge. One of the best sellers of 2017 fro this reason has been our black tile effect laminate flooring, which offers the look and feel of a tiled floor with the convenience and affordability of a laminate floor. It’s also a very popular choice for a modern bathroom or kitchen design as it can withstand heavy water exposure without running the risk of de-laminating. Eternity Engineered Oak Flooring What’s to love? Engineered wood combines the best of laminate and solid wood flooring to create a truly stunning floor that looks good and lasts for decades. These properties, added to the gorgeous colour of this timeless oak floor combine to create a total winner in our customer’s eyes. If you order a free sample of this floor, you’ll immediately appreciate why it’s been so popular this year. Premier Select Grey Oak What’s to love? The trend for grey everything in interiors held its ground in 2017, and so for that reason our premier select grey oak flooring makes it into our bestsellers list with ease. This beautiful grey colour floor shows off the grain and swirls in the wood, giving it an authentic edge. It compliments most homes and can be used in hallways, living rooms, bedrooms, studies – anywhere you would like to make a stylish statement. As an added bonus, it’s also one of our most affordable flooring options, so you can use it all over the house if you choose. Manhattan Multi Art Oak Laminate What’s to love? If you prefer colour, quirky patterns and having your home interior look a little different to everyone else’s then this is the floor for you – the multi coloured effect paired with natural wood tones is an eye-catching and unusual choice for adding real wow factor to your home. Our customers love this effect, along with its durability and hard-wearing properties, wide planks and 15 year warranty. Is it one of your favourites too?

I have a ~15ftx10.5ft bedroom in dire need of a tidy up and re-design.
Q

After many weeks of experimenting with furniture positions I have finally reached a conclusion which I'm happy with. I am selling the Ikea black desk which was too small and impractical for the room and replaced it with my old curved desk which now fits snugly in the South East corner of my room. I have also put the chest to good use which is now under the bed and will be replaced by 'weathered scaffold board' shelves on the South West wall which previously held my guitars. The guitars will be placed on the North East wall above my chest of drawers which are stacked and positioned next to the bed. I am still yet to decide however which wall should contain all of the photos and canvas'... Perhaps above the headboard. The speakers will be positioned accordingly once some shelves fill the South East corner wall above the desk and the 3 shelves have been positioned. The LP player along with the vinyls will be on the bottom shelf which is still in the process of design. Once this is complete.. I may have time to put hooks above Bob Marley's head for the cables.... If you believe I'm going the wrong direction with this please give me a shout. Pictures will be posted upon completion.
