  1. A friend of mine put the Konnecto all over her house except for the bathrooms.
    It formed some weird kind of seal and trapped moisture under it, it buckled, the nails came up the particleboard underneath it had problems, the floors are ruined and noone will stand behind them because no one will come right out a say what happened. My friends are out a lot of money and the company that put it in no longer carries it. A mess all around. Was Konnecto responsible? Who knows/ Nobodys talking.

  2. Banna,
    My heart goes out to your friends. I would contact the Better Business Bureau, an attorney whomever it takes to get them the help she needs. She might want to have a third party come in and give their opinion and present the offending parties with the documentation from the third party.

  3. I like how you mentioned that vinyl flooring is pretty much maintenance free. I’m going to be renovating my kitchen, and I want to make the room easy to keep in good condition. It would be nice to not have to worry about maintaining the floors, so maybe I could install vinyl.

  4. I’ve heard of sheet vinyl, but I never knew that vinyl tiles existed, so thanks for talking about that. We need a cheap replacement option for our floor, and vinyl seems like the best choice for us. I’ve heard it’s even static free, which isn’t a big deal, but it would be nice to have.
