Hi
I was on a few weeks ago asking questions about laying rubber floor tiles - which the forum then conviced me was a bad idea! I'm now thinking about vinyl sheet flooring.
So, I had an investigate of what is under the kitchen floor this morning. I took up the threshold and it turned out that what I thought was vinyl tiles was actually tile effect laminate.
Underneath this appears to be 1.5 mm slate tiles, set into black adhesive, over a concrete floor (see the picture).
Any thoughts on the best way of dealing with this?
1. Do I need to worry about presence/absence of a dpm in the kithchen. House was built in the mid 1950s.
2. Can I lay ply over the slate tiles?
3. I have no idea how level the floor is - if it's bad would i have to use some kind of levelling compound prior to something else on top?
Any suggestions or advice gratefully received.
Thanks
Keith
