Sorry I missed last night. For me, its always a glue down first on concrete! They are easier to remove if damaged than a floating/Hybrid floor. Totally water proof and they don't expand and contract as much as the others. By the way glue downs can go down over your floor tiles without having to take them up. I hope this had helped Hi Michelle Thanks for your answer I'll start looking at the glue downs then, and will include the tiled areas in the job. Was just concerned as the grout in the slate tiles is not level with the tile plus the slate tiles themselves are not smooth/flat on the surface. Cheers. Carmel Sorry, I missed the slate! The slate will have to come up. You can't install over slate. Hi Michelle. Thanks for letting me know about the slate. Looks like I'm going to have to just live the slate as I'm not going through the drama of lifting it but will re seal it and replace the grout between the tiles so its level with the tiles not 25mm below the tile which traps cat litter. At least l can lay the glue downs over the tiles in the bathroom, toilet & laundry without too much drama. FWIW - Harvey Norman don't sell the glue downs any more so will have to start the hunt shortly. Cheers. Carmel Re: I work in flooring - do you have a flooring question? 977Feb 09, 2024 10:44 pm Hi Michelle We're looking at doing solid timber flooring up our straight staircase and across our top floor of our new build. Staircase is concrete, as is our upper floor slab. Been getting quotes and the main difference seems to be in the staircase cost. Seems some companies are quoting ply risers and self leveling compound while others simply do plywood to both treads and risers under the solid wood. I'm building with a reputable custom builder so would hope our stairs are already to Australian standard and pretty level. In your experience is self leveling compound really required? Thanks Re: I work in flooring - do you have a flooring question? 978Feb 12, 2024 5:38 am wyldey Hi Michelle We're looking at doing solid timber flooring up our straight staircase and across our top floor of our new build.
