Today, we mainly want to educate you on which floors PVC flooring can be directly laid on.

What Kind of Subfloor can Vinyl Flooring Install directly?

1 General cement flooring

Firstly, Vinyl flooring can be laid on ordinary cement concrete foundations without self leveling construction. Both coil and sheet flooring can be laid, but the foundation must ensure that there is no sand, hollowing, or cracking, and the ground strength is good and solid; Ground humidity requirement: less than 4.5%; 2mm error within a range of 2 meters; The ground is free of grease, paint, coatings, adhesives, chemical solutions, and colored pigments. If the above requirements are not met, then self leveling must still be done.

2 Ceramic tile and Porcelain tile flooring

Ceramic tile foundation can also be directly laid with PVC flooring, but it is best to choose a plastic flooring or SPC lock buckle flooring with a thickness of more than 2mm, otherwise obvious marks of ceramic tile floor joints will be visible on the floor surface after construction is completed.

3 Wood flooring

The surface of wooden flooring can also be directly laid with PVC flooring. Due to the poor stability of wooden flooring, it is recommended to use white glue and wood powder to repair the floor joints and surface. After laying the PVC flooring, if the plastic flooring is too thin, there will also be seam marks on the surface. The surface of the wooden floor cannot be self leveling construction.

4 Steel plate ground

The surface of the steel plate cannot be self leveling construction. It is possible to directly lay PVC flooring above it. Attention should be paid to using atomic ash to repair and polish the welds and joints of the steel plate before laying PVC flooring. But the surface of the laid floor is uneven. For steel plates with protruding patterns on the surface, it is necessary to repair and level the surface with atomic ash before laying.

5 Epoxy self-leveling floor

Epoxy flooring cannot be directly used for self-leveling construction, as layering problems may arise if self-leveling construction is to be carried out. The construction of PVC flooring can be carried out directly. Before construction, the surface of the flooring should be roughened, and degreased treatment should be carried out for greasy floors before the laying of PVC flooring can be carried out

In a word, if the subfloor is flat, dry and clean enough, then you can install the vinyl flooring directly.
