I want to put tiles down on my kitchen floor, but first I need to pull up the old pattern. It is a whole piece of laminate flooring that is starting to come undone where the dining room and kitchen meet. So how would I go about doing this? Do i just pull the laminate up? Is there a specific way to put the tiles down?
First okorder . Good luck.
It's super easy to put down the peel and stick tile. When you get to the corners you can cut the tile with a carpenter's knife or a really sharp pair of scissors. Just make sure you keep the lines straight and it should turn out great. Also, there's this stuff you can buy at Home Depot that you have to put on the old tiles first or the new ones will not stick. Just go in and tell one of the people that work there what you are doing and they will lead you to the right stuff. Just buy a disposable mop to paint it on with and then when it dries lay the new tile on top. It only costs about $5.
The first thing is I need to know is this laminate glue or snap together (do you want to save this floor ?) if you donot care this is how to remove your laminate First off figure which way the laminate is started this will give you a good starting point. this should just fold up ward ____/ like that once you start you should be able to take up thold laminate in 1 hour. make sure to remove all your wall base first., that is what holds down the laminate. After that is up you will have to determine what type of underlayment is on the subfloor. The most common is durock if you are putting down ceramic . If it is vinyl tiles you then should use luan (1/4 thick use the same thickness for the durock). You have to measure you length and width of the floor striking chalk lines to determine where your starting point is ( you do this with either type of floor).If you need more instruction e mailme.
