What should we pay attention to when removing PVC floor?
PVC flooring is naturally wear-resistant, non-slip, flame-retardant, and moisture-proof, making it popular among the public.
However, even the best flooring will age in different forms and degrees after a long time of use. If it is seriously damaged, most people will choose to re-install new PVC flooring in order not to affect the beauty of the entire space. What confuses users is: what to do with the original old PVC flooring? Does it need to be removed? How to remove it?
Generally, it is recommended to remove the original PVC floor. If this is not possible, make sure that the old PVC floor can meet the standards for installing new floor materials. Because there are many construction methods for PVC floor, there will be differences in the removal of PVC floor. Generally, the PVC vinyl floor paved with double-sided tape and welding wire is relatively simple to remove, and can be directly peeled off and new materials can be laid; while the floor pasted with glue is very firm and it will be very difficult to remove later.
In this case, the choice is to use a shovel to demolish the old PVC floor (which saves time and effort compared to manual demolition). The ground after demolition will inevitably be uneven, so the base layer needs to be processed (cement self-leveling). The condition of the base layer not only has an important impact on the appearance of the installation, but also is related to the life and durability of the PVC floor.
In short, although the removal of PVC flooring seems simple, there are many details that require our attention and careful handling. I hope this article can help you and make you more comfortable when removing PVC flooring.
