The floor preparation is everything when your fitting L V T, I fit new build for barrat Holme  n Gabriel,  the lot fitters take the toilet and the pedestal out the room , the skirtings come off before the either screed a concrete floor or plywood a chipboard floor, preparation is key , or you will have problems at the end of the job, I hope this has been good information to you

If the only problem is the tiles been univen the you can self level the floor before it down the new floor, but if the tiles are not solid enough then you may need to remove them and self level the sub floor prior to put the new floor. Thanks

Hi, lvt gets glued down to substrate,  if floor uneven this will translate in to final look 
Leveling compound is recommended

Nicola · Answer

This depends on how univen the floor is, lvt flooring needs to adhere to the surface, maybe if you use a 3mm thickness it could be ok, in case the level problem is minimal.
However linoleum is perhaps the right choice, unless you want to level up the floor.

Hi, definitely. I suggest doing self- levelling smoothing on top of the tiles. Uneven levels of the subfloor have a big impact on quality job

You can either take up your tiles first make sure you get all the tile adhesive of the floor if it’s still not level screed depending what sub floor you have you can screed over wood get the right one you can sreed over your tiles again make sure it’s the right steed like ardex Na fast set you may need to cut a little bit of your door

Probably best to level with latex as thick underlay will compress over time. Hope this helps. Dave

The subfloor require levelling before fitting LVT. Glued down LVT would show all subfloor imperfection.

John · Answer

I would level up using a smoothing compound as this is recommended by lvt manufacturers

Issam · Answer

The subfloor require levelling before fitting LVT , self leveling cement is the best option or u could remove tiles and repair the subfloor if needed
