How To Prep a Wood SubFloor
"Can I install on a bamboo mosaic vinyl flooring plywood?" I hear you ask. To make a long story short, the answer is yes and no, but not confused! The reasons are few and the exact solutions, since all are based on common sense more than anything else.
So what is the long story? Well, the reason that you can install bamboo flooring glued on vinyl over a plywood subfloor is simple. The wood acts as a perfect environment that provides shock absorption and increases the structural integrity of the entire base of the plant. The vinyl on the other hand is a perfect insulation from moisture, something that any experienced builder knows.
But? Yes, there is a "but" unfortunately. If the wood is in the best conditions, not exposed nails, loose or rotten borderless, which is almost there. If your vinyl tiles are in the best position, stuck in a uniform, covering all the edges well, without any mold or contamination, which is about to begin! But what if that's not the case?
Fixing a vinyl floor prepare and sub-soil for bamboo flooring that shiny new not take much effort, but kept a careful observation and approach. Are there deep furrows? Any cuts that go all through the vinyl? Loose tiles or maybe places that have sunk in what looks like a shallow hole? Look for that to recognize the problems with the wood underneath, because if there is a problem, you have no choice but to remove the vinyl and plywood set.
If the wood looks and feels OK, but not the vinyl, there are still some things you can do. Using a floor filler to cover the irregularities with more frequent choice, especially with the beveled vinyl tiles and texture, where it becomes mandatory. You should always aim to have as uniform and smooth as possible before setting up the bamboo floor.
And if you run out of options and finally eliminate vinyl tiles - please, take precautions to avoid contaminating yourself and your house with smoke of asbestos as possible. You can emphasized enough, despite being mentioned all the time. The consequences can be dire, so take your time to test the old vinyl flooring if you are unsure of what it contains.
