  2. I’m looking for a particular type of commercial floor that I’ve seen in restaurants, church hallways, etc. It’s either vinyl or rubber and comes in a variety of great colors. It has an embossed (?) pattern of very slightly raised circles. Can you help me by telling me if you know what type/brand of flooring this is? Thank you for your help…

  4. We are putting in a brick paver driveway. Our garage is sinking and cracking. What are your thoughts on just continuing the brick pavers onto the garage floor?

  5. Hi Dena,
    Are you sure your garage is actually sinking? If so, the pavers would probably wind up looking bad over time too – cracking in between, perhaps even the pavers themselves. There are other suggestions in the article.

  6. Hello Flooring Lady
    I hired a handyman company to stain my three car garage. I like how the stain looks, but there is a problem with the sealant. Within a few weeks, the sealant has bubbled and cracked in places. In other places it appears beaded. It also scratches very easily and parking on it removes the sealant where the tires rested. The sealant was a highly recommended prodect from Lowes.
    Do you have suggestions?

  7. Betty,
    The sealer should not be coming off with the tires if it has been allowed to dry the correct length of time. If it is possible to find out what sealer was used, I would call the manufacturer. A product that was made for that purpose, should not be having problems like bubbling.
