Vinyl flooring
IM
Posts: 387 Forumite
Afternoon all
Am reaching the end of a bathroom redecoration, and have ordered some vinyl flooring to go down.
The existing floor boards were in a pretty rough state, so I have fitted 18mm ply over the top. However, there are still minor differences in level where the sheets of ply meet.
Is it best to fit another thin sheet of hardboard over the top, rather than risk ridges appearing - or can the vinyl 'absorb' a degree of imperfection?

Could you belt-sand or plane the difference away?

Generally with flooring it depends on the thickness. Anything over about 18mm will be able to absorb a bit of unstraightness, anything less you want to level out0
