Long time lurker first time poster.
I am looking to fit some Karndean in my kitchen, utility room and bathroom.
The sub-floor in all rooms is concrete, with a very low RH and fairly uneven.
I am searching for a bit of advice.
Is a water based or latex based levelling compound better?
The floor will need to go over some central heating pipes in the subfloor. Do I need a specific adhesive for this or will a PS adhesive do? The pipes are noticeably hot through the existing Lino. I have read about discolouration due to heat.
Any advice about whether I should remove the skirting board and tile under them or tile up to them and then seal?
I have laid various floors, solid, engineers wood, tiles, carpet and lino but never a Karndean. I am a confident DIYer and luckily have an engineer for a dad!
Many thanks
Chris
