Re: What kind of flooring is this? 18Oct 18, 2013 3:32 pm These tiles are a product called DAYTILE made by Armstrong Nylex and was extremely popular in the late 60's & 70'. Durable is an understatement only issue is that after 20-30 years shrinkage become quite evident. It was generally laid on Masonite Sheets that were nailed to the floor first. It becomes quite brittle and when trying to pull it up breaks easily. The product has a high asbestos content also so wear a mask, disposable overalls and bag all tiles and dust in asbestos bags and dispose of correctly if you intend on pulling this up. 1000000% definitely add insulation. I have in my home and it makes a big difference minimising sound transfer. Insulation is pretty cheap and definitely worth it 2 6191 Engineering timber is certainly a less fuss option, times cheaper to supply and install and better withstands humidity. 1 15907 |
