This Old Recap

4 recaps

Flooring

Flooring recaps collect episodes tagged with a floor finish: hardwood, white oak, luxury vinyl, squeaky floors, and heated floors. Near-duplicate floor tags are grouped so the same work is not split across thin pages. A recap is listed only when it carries one of those tags.

This Old House S47 E25: Walpole ADU Luxury Vinyl Plank, MDF Wainscoting, and 12 Smart Switches in the Snow

Kevin traces luxury vinyl plank from PVC and limestone through digital printing and an aluminum oxide wear layer, Jay's crew clicks it through the ADU, Zack Dettmore and Adrian assemble MDF wainscoting in the mudroom, and Sean wires 12 smart switches, including one that floods every exterior light at once.
