What can I lay on asphalt flooring?

Dazlight...thank you! Don’t suppose you’re midlands based?! Come & do the job if so!

 

[dazlight]

No sorry.
Have a look on the NICF website for a local LVT fitter. But if no luck find a good local shop who do LVTs

Many thanks again, really appreciate your time & help

Get LVT. Not the cheapest but will last 25 years

cheaper LVTs look at

LG, Moduleo select , project floors, Luvanto....

you want a 0.55mm wear layer on whichever one you get

or go for a good laminate like quickstep impressive

Hey Dazlight,
I want to put down a layer of floating click LVT (built in underlay), I’ve taken up my current laminate to be met with asphalt. It’s slightly cracked round the edges of the room.
What should I do? Should I lay 1mm sheet LVT underlay on top or put a self levelling down?

 

[dazlight]

If it’s out of level more then 3mm over 2m then yes use a smoothing compound. Around the edges remove the loose bits and fill with ardex A45 repaid repair

 

[Jack Phillips]

Thanks so much. It seems bang on level. I was going to use 1mm LVT Click underlay just as a caution between the asphalt

 

[dazlight]

If it has a built in underlay then no need as it won’t do anything

 

[Jack Phillips]

Just really nervous about this asphalt, never seen it before! I’ve also got to take my skirts off

 

[dazlight]

Be fine that with a click. It’s just gripper rod damage

 

[Jack Phillips]

The underlay on the LVT click is 0.55mm

Thank you man. I’m not sure it’s ever had carpet but I’ll go with that haha! So just put click straight on top? Nervous that when I take my skirts off its going to crumble away

 

[dazlight]

The underlay on the LVT click is 0.55mm

you sure that’s not the wear layer of the LVT. Do you have a link.

 

[Jack Phillips]

Sorry, you’re right, it’s 0.55mm wear layer and 1mm cork backing https://nwfloors.co.uk/shop/chene-firmfit-boutique-ew2780-oval-oak-herringbone-click-vinyl-flooring/

Hi Dazlight, I’ve pulled some more of the floor up and took some pictures. What you reckon?

 

[dazlight]

Put a 2m straight edge on it and if you can’t slide a one coin under it you are good to go
