Hi, i want to replace cork tiles in my bathroom (on a wooden floor) with glue down vinyl tiles. I'm totally confused as to how to go about it. I get the basic principle of:
1 - clearing the floor and leveling it.
2 - applying the adhesive glue
3 - laying down the tiles.
But the detail of the above is missing to me.
1 - I need to screw down ply first vs direct onto floorboards? And does it need to be perfectly level after?
2 - which glue do i need? spray or any all purpose floor adhesive? if the latter does the trowel pattern make a difference? does it need to be compatible with the glue? I heard it does.
3 - the need for an expansion gap isn't mentioned on the site for the tiles (Pompeii). Do I need one? I was told i didn't but youtube videos from the US say i do..
I'd appreciate any advice! thanks
