I've just exchanged on an apartment that has Amtico fitted to the open plan kitchen/ dining/ lounge area. The previous owners had it put down in about 2007 and I have the original receipt showing there is 6mm plywood fitted beneath.
I am not a fan of the Amtico that is down at the moment (especially in the lounge/ sitting area) so was considering how I could replace just this area.
I assume the existing Amtico will come off easily (ish) leaving the plywood beneath but have the following questions if I want to replace part of it which is an area of about 150-200 sq.ft probably.
If I replaced it with Balterio, would the plywood have to come up?
Does the Balterio need an underlany on top of the plywood if the plywood stays?
What do I use as the border/ tread between the Amtico/ Balterio?
Does it matter there will be a height difference between the two (maybe 5mm ish)?
Is Balterio flooring a DIY job to someone that is fairly DIY handy?
Or would I be best just to replace part of the Amtico with another Amtico so it keeps the same level?
All help/ advise/ suggestions gratefully received.
Thanks
Stuart
