Get the floor right the first time.
Straight talk from a career floor covering guy: what works, what fails and why, and how to buy the right materials for the job. No brand bias.
I'm Kyle. Floors are my whole career.
I've worked in floor covering from just about every angle: manufacturing, distribution, manufacturer's rep work and outside sales. I've trained installers, builders, retailers and commercial crews, and I've stood on plenty of jobs where something went wrong.
My background is in the stuff that sits under and behind the finished floor: tile setting materials, LVT and resilient flooring, self-levelers, patches and primers, adhesives and moisture control. That's where most floors succeed or fail.
Krummy Floors is where I share what I've learned, including the failures, so you don't have to learn it the hard way.
Help every installer and homeowner get the floor right the first time.
Three rules guide everything on the channel, the blog and the calculators.
No brand bias, ever.
Good advice works with whatever products you already trust. You'll hear about product types and what to look for on the label, not sales pitches.
Built on the industry standards.
TCNA, ANSI, NWFA, CRI and ASTM guidance is the starting point. Opinions come second and get labeled as opinions.
Talk about what goes wrong.
Hollow tiles, cupped boards, bubbling vinyl. Every failure has a cause, and knowing it is how you avoid the callback.
Watch, read, and do the math.
