Removing floor tile paper and adhesive
I pulled up a layer of cork and then stick-down vinyl tiles which has revealed a vinyl layer adhered to the subfloor: https://i.imgur.com/wiqstBC.png I started to pull it back but it's proving to be a pain in the ass. My plan was to put LVP over it, so realisitcally it could stay - but I also like the idea of inspecting the subfloor to try and knock out the creaks in the floor. But also, what if I wanted to do tile instead of LVP. So - if I do LVP, worth trying to pull it up or leave it? (obviously fill in the bits i already pulled up) If I do continue to pull it up - any tips? I used heat and steam from an iron (lol) and that worked fairly okay but slow going, a heatgun loosened the top layer but still pulled away from the paper below. submitted by /u/blackt12 [link] [comments]
