Just wondering what you guys are using for flooring..anyone using pergo or the like?
Gong to buy mine today :D That means studio A is almost finished. pergo - Maple 10x10' sq. in control with carpet going around to walls African Slate - 16'x12' Drum Booth Pergo - Maple in tracking room I have used the pergo now on two studios. Great stuff. Goes in easy and never needs anything again. Look for a Bargin. Lowes and home depot want $3.27sqft. I got mine from an overstock construction store for $1.27sqft. Hope this helps :roll: jai www.themixstudio.com
I've priced the parquet flooring from HDepot and they have a light colored (maple) wooden flooring for .99¢/sq. ft. I'm assuming the Pergo would last longer with fewer dings as it is artificial flooring--is that your experience Jai? I see the Pergo is a glueless install. Did you ever experience it coming loose or becoming "springy" (for lack of a better word?) dean
No, it never has felt springy. I did not however put the little thin foam pad underneith the first floor and that is a mistake. Everytime you walk acros it you here a click like high heels or something. So, I pulled it up, since no glue, and put the pad undernieth. This time around I did it right, and man does it go down easy. No glue, no mess, no prob. jai www.themixstudio.com
I've been pricing Pergo here in Nashville. The cheaper stuff is $2.37 a SF. Plus you have to buy the pad ($30.00 for 50SF). Anyone have any ideas where to buy cheaper? An internet site or something? Thanks, Aaron
