Need advice on covering/removing stamped concrete before installing LVP in basement
I'm planning to install luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout my basement, but I have stamped concrete flooring added to two of the rooms that needs to be addressed first. As you can see from the photos, the concrete has a textured/stamped finish that would prevent proper installation of the LVP. My current thoughts: Using self-leveling compound to fill in and smooth over the stamped area Maybe using a cement-based floor patch if that's better for smaller areas Possibly grinding it down (if not too deep) Chiseling it out with a masonry chisel (if possible) I've never dealt with this kind of situation before, and I'd really appreciate any advice! How to best create a flat surface over/through this stamped concrete? Any pitfalls I should avoid? The stamped concrete covers the entire floor in two rooms of my basement. The basement is otherwise dry and in good condition. Thanks in advance for any help! https://preview.redd.it/6w9paxv4p9se1.jpg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=277eff8a6cb90fc557343e2377f52ae8e9ac906d https://preview.redd.it/ja1x33w4p9se1.jpg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0f17c46de21d91cfd28a1057dd0cb730a78de329 https://preview.redd.it/3pn1b0w4p9se1.jpg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=085b2b2bc9891e9df60ffbdf2c41f7b1037d0236 submitted by /u/NegativePitch [link] [comments]
