possibly, but it should be possible to block it out. if its sealed then no smell should able to come through.
also the problem cam from outside and appeared n the wall. sealent has solved most of it. it just seems parts of the wall may still be affected(little green dots) and I feel that's...
Hi Greg
What do you mean check it out. There was a damp problem however it is completely dried up. Now it was just the smell that remained.
The floor is covered so the smell wont come up through there. The smell was coming through the wall however that too is covered. However I do...
the floor does have problems, however I have put sealed vinyl over it so don't think the problem is coming from there. it feels like its coming from some tiny dots in the walls to be honest.
honestly, I don't know.
I had a damp issue a while ago which has dried up. It left an large ugly discolouration in the corner of the room.
Worker came and put a sealent over it. Most of the smell/toxins went. However when I go to that corner of the room I can still sense a nasty smell and it starts making me...
I had a dampness appear in a corner of one of my rooms. I wasn't using the room so its been months now and it has become dry. However the damage is visible and it is still gassing off toxins.
Repair guy came and put sealant over it however I notice little black dots are still in some places...
Hi
I have a medical condition and am highly sensitive to chemicals, fumes etc. I am thinking of putting some used laminate down and if I react to it, then I'll probably replace it with tiles.
I currently have floorboards which are quite uneven. If I put laminate:
1) Should I put...
I currently have floorboards with 6mm fibreboard on top with laminate on top of that.
I want to change to vinyl flooring.
1. Can I keep the fibreboard, put hardboard on top and then put the vinyl. Will this work and will it create better insulation then hardboard and vinyl only?
2...
I have just laid a new flooring down and all seems to be well bar the fact that the new floor height keeps causing the door to get trapped.
I am worried that if I saw under the door, I might react to the smell of the new wood(I have multiple chemical sensitivities). The particular door is a...
Just moved into a flat and want to put some vinyl flooring down. The existing floor is just floorboards in horrible condition e.g. holes, cracks here and there although the seem to be flat I mean nothing sticking out by or uneven by a a centimerter.
In many places I read that one should put...
believe it or not, this is the extent people with multiple chemical sensitivities have to go through. look at my previous posts where you will see I have been trying different floorings to manage my health condition.
Actually, the issue is that I have laid a laminate floor and am reacting to the saw dust and cannot wait around for it to go. I want to put vinyl over the laminate but don't really want to remove the laminate however its causing the height issue. If I put grout it will be thing enough to stop...
Big-All, are you sure about this. Firstly, after a laminate wood job people can usually smell saw dust(a kind of wood smell) but not see it(as it's fine)therefore it MUST be in the air for you to be able to smell it?
Also if gaps have been left in-between laminate then perhaps it is coming...
I recently laminated and this has left the smell of fine saw dust everywhere. It will take time for it to go however I am sensitive to a room full of fine saw dust.
I am thinking that since most of the fine saw dust is on the floor, if one paints over it the paint will seal/stick most of...
Just wondering since it can go in between tiles, can you make any type of floor with it?
My new floor is blocking the door from opening and I dont want to saw the door. I am also sensitive to most types of flooring. For this reason I am thinking maybe I can just put low level of grout infront...
