Fitting LVT flooring (quick step) on tiles?

Anonymous user 03/03/2024 - 3.37 PM

I recently removed doorway from dining room to kitchen. Floor in dining room is tiled but kitchen has cheap struck on vinyl flooring. Do I need to remove tiles and have floor screeded? Do I also need to have kitchen floor screeded too or can that have underlay. With the tiles screeded to cover tile lines? Hope above makes sense.

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

I think i understand what you mean, if your fitting LVT you need to uplift and other flooring first before installing the latex screed, this is a must do job. If the ceramics are in good condition and are not breaking up then you can latex over these ready for the LVT, if this is higher than the adjoining floor then you will have to screed up the ceramic height then lay a 2nd screed the following day across the whole floor area

You need to make Sure that tiles are stuck strongly, if so you can freely screed to level the difference between the two levels and after drying you can screed the entire area starting from the tiles with Ardex NA latex ( it can get stuck very strongly on top of tiles.
