vinyl

Hi all, I would like to lay some softer and warmer flooring on top of an existing ceramic tiled floor in our conservatory. Not sure exactly what we want to use yet, but something like the faux wood Karndean planks we had in our previous house. We don't use the conservatory much so it will...

Hi All. We are looking at re-doing the flooring over the next couple of weeks. Current We currently have a beige carpet which between crazy nephews and nieces that can't sit still with food and a cat that loves to pick at the carpet now needs to be changed after 4 years. What Hallway and Open...

Rendered and skimmed wall, vinyl paint. What is the vest prep? It doesn't seem like a good surface to tile, maybe a good scoring with el diablo or a plasterers roughing out saw? Maybe bolster the skim off? What's the usual way to proceed? Thank you Dain

Hi, (Sorry if answered elsewhere - couldn't find it) Short version: Is there some kind of thick underlay which can be used under click vinyl to raise its height to match adjoining tiles? Needs to allow heat transfer from under floor heating and not be too squishy for the vinyl planks. Long...

1st floor galley kitchen with vinyl flooring. Kitchen is not 'fitted'. I'd like to put some sort of fairly rigid mat under the washing machine to prevent the point loaded washing machine feet from damaging the click vinyl as the machine tries to go walkabout. I read that rubber mats, or...

My kitchen is upstairs so the floor is a mix of t&g chipboard and ply; it doesn't have gaps and I levelled it. Is it a bad idea to put click vinyl flooring in there with a washing machine? B&Q colours slate tile 5mm. Will the washing machine destroy the click? Thanks..

Stanley knife? Jigsaw with fine blade, and corners with a largish drill? Thanks

I've used some (a lot) of Zinssers Wallpaper Cover Up to prime and cover some vinyl wallpaper, with the intention of painting over with emulsion (as directed on the instructions). The Zinssers has done a brilliant job of adhering to the vinyl, but I think the walls would benefit from a layer of...

1st floor galley kitchen job (3m x 2m): I want to put click vinyl down but don't want the click to raise the finished floor level so I figure on replacing the 18mm chipboard sub with 12mm ply? Any thoughts? Do I need additional floor support perp to joists? At what ctrs? What size additional...

Are kitchen units supposed to go in 1st and then the click vinyl gets cut in around it, or does the click go down wall to wall and the units go on top?

I don't mind removing the door architraves etc to put it down. Is an underlay of some kind always necessary (am trying not to raise finished surface up too much). How much expansion space needed along edges of a 3x2m room? (room is currently without skirting) Once down, if I remove a...

Glued down lino is definitely not an option, hateful stuff to change. B&Q do click vinyl, but it only clicks properly along it's length, quite a few poor reviews too. Does anyone know of a good brand, maybe that uses HDF, fits together well, and won't chip if a kid drops a Tonka on it? Of a...

We bought a 70s semi (ex Council ) and behind the dishwasher and washing machine there is a strong musty smell and the vinyl is all ripped. It also seems like the wall needs plastering . Would we need a whole new kitchen or just new vinyl ? Also how to fill the massive hole where the pipe...

Our bathroom flooring needs replacing - we're planning to whip out the grotty old carpet and put some vinyl down instead. Trouble is, the design we like the best is from the Rhinofloor XL Supergrip range, which only has a relatively thin backing and wear layer, and a 5 year guarantee compared to...

Hi I've removed the laminate flooring in the kitchen as we are doing the kitchen up and would like to fit vinyl cushion flooring, the subfloor is concrete, the kitchen is lower then the lounge and as such when entering the kitchen there is a single concrete step, I was planning on vinyl...

I watered down vinyl matt paint and used it as an undercoat on top of fresh plaster thinking it was matt emulsion. I have not done a second coat yet and would like to know if I should continue or fix it and if I should fix it, how? If it is of any helps the colour that I would like to finish...

I am planning to get new flooring in my bedroom. My neighbour installed laminate flooring 10 years ago and he said the reason why some planks in the centre of the room wouldn’t click into place was because the floor boards were uneven, probably due to heat from the radiator. I don’t want this to...

doing a renovation project. Noticed water pouring through and down an internal downstairs wall!! Lime render on the outside and removing soggy plaster showed a poorly applied layer of bitumen on what looks like cement render....so, that is coming off tomorrow and the stone wall will be restored...

Hello, I'm new here and a total amateur so please forgive anything daft I say below! We had a very well rated carpet installer fit our landing and stairs with carpet last week, we purchased the carpet for a local carpet shop for him to fit and he provided everything else (underlay, vinyl etc)...

Hi all, Wonder if I might beg some advice. Going to be laying new vinyl sheet flooring in my bathroom. Currently it has floorboard-thin hardboard-stick on vinyl tiles. Naturally the thin hardboard (maybe 3mm) has suffered over the years and the floor is a bit up and down. Floorboards are as...
