What a barrel of fun this one was. Initially, thinking the rip out would be a breeze soon turned into a head ache.
After taking up the LVT and underlay, i soon discovered quite a large area that had water damage. Unfortunately, the floor was floating, the first layer was insulation, and then a double layer of 12mm backerboard, which meant twice as much work for me....
Oh, and did I mention this job was in a flat on the second floor π.
Once the floor was up, we could start the process of priming and then installing our insulation boards ready for the decoupling membrane, which would carry the heating cable.
Once the cable was fitted, we could then level over the entire area, ready for some tiling.
The customer chose the tile, a 600x600 high gloss porcelain tile.
I was happy to see the finisb of this one, but the excitement was short-lived as the customer has now booked us in for the bedroom floor π€£π₯³. At least that will be for next year.
What do you think?
