What do I do about floors

I am (hopefully) buying an upstairs condo. The carpets are thrashed. Clearly a smoker lived there for a good long while. Being allergic and asthmatic, the carpets got to go.

So, what should I replace it with? Cost is an issue, and I strongly suspect that this means I will have to do any necessary installation mypersonalself. How hard are the "click-lock" floors that I keep hearing about to install? I am leaning towards that at the moment, based on what little help I was able to receive in a preliminary visit to a Lowes.

3. I would straongly advise buying Alloc Original if you want laminate flooring

http://www.alloc.com/us_laminate_floor.html

Click "residential"

Click "original"

We have it in our kitchen and our foyer. Both high traffic and high abuse. Both are several yars old. Both are like new.

Alloc Original has a unique aluminum locking device on each plank that makes the stuff easy as pie to install and to stay together over time. We put a less expensive click lock floor in our rental and it was a pain in the ass to install and has shown some separation with time.

The product is somewhat more costly than other flooring you can find, but it is, in my view, well worth it.

**Well** worth it.

It all depends on how level the existing floor is.  If the place is older and has any deviation from complete flatness, the laminate flooring will be an expensive disaster, and new carpeting is the only real choice.  Hopefully it's as ripply as the North Atlantic and he buys the laminate first on a no-return clearance sale.   :evillaugh:

He should just do what everybody else does - commercial grade resilient tile. Cheap. Easy. Self-adapts to uneven floors. Toss a nice area rug on top. Ta-freakin'-Daa.

"Peel and stick" should do the trick....

Anything else would be beyond their capabilities....

Outside of a throw rug, that is....

Especially when you consider the flooring he's recommending is just as expensive, if not more, than frikkin' carpet!

What an idiot!!!!!

I sure hope that the DUchebag does not charge rent.

Alas I assume that like taxes are for other people to pay that a DUmmy believes that profit is bad except when they are profiting.

Just paint it brown to match the bong water spills.

You see, I don't care you how feel.  I really don't.  More importantly, neither does anyone else.  Only about 200 people on a planet of 7 billion actually care about your feelings, and that's if you're lucky.  The sooner you grasp this lesson, the better off you will be.  And since almost no one gives a damn what you do, say, think, or feel, appealing to your feelings when you encounter differences of opinion is not only illogical, but useless.

Anything that has a multi-colored, random pattern with lots of browns and yellows should work.
