Mortgage rates are offered in eighths. One thing Iâd like to point out first is that mortgage rates move in eighths. In other words, when youâre ultimately offered a rate, it will either be a whole number, such as 5%, or 5.125%, 5.25%, 5.375%, 5.5%, 5.625%, 5.75%, or 5.875%.
Vinyl Tile. 1  Vinyl tiles generally come in 9- and 12-inch squares. 2  To find the number of 12-inch tiles you need, just multiply the length of the room by the width in feet (rounding fractions up to the next foot) to get the number of tiles you need. 3  Add 5 percent extra for cutting and waste.
Install vinyl plank flooring over concrete, wood or existing vinyl flooring for a durable floor that stands up to moisture. Prepare for Installation. At least 48 hours prior to installation, place the new vinyl plank flooring in the room for acclimation. During installation, mix planks from different boxes to blend the dye lots and patterns for a more uniform appearance. You may install vinyl over vinyl if the existing floor is one layer thick.
