So my customer has decided on Zazous Seville vinyl floor. It looks pretty good quality, not like Amtico good, but not cheap either. About 3 or 4mm thick
They currently have a very smooth flat and well laid engineered timber floor so no need for hardboard or ply. The client doesn't really want any additional height to the floor anyway, as the vinyl is in the hallway which is currently at the same level as the kitchen.
Of course the timber veneer could have a whole number of finishes on it from oils to laquers, stains or varnishes.
Ball F44 is the product recommended. I questioned Zazous the supplier about sticking the vinyl straight to the engineered floor, he said no prep needed apart from cleaning.
Ball however, are suggesting F47 isolator. I'm not sure if this is just them trying to sell me an unecessary additional product. This is a fairly low traffic hallway as it's two working adults only in the house. Having said that I obviously want to get this right.
I figured I'd glue down a test piece and see what happens, but presumably there are people on here with lots of experience sticking vinyl to engineered floorboards and wanted to see what you thought.
Many thanks
