LVT vs Laminate (Need to access under floorboards)

howzat92

Thanks all. 

Any solutions as to which is easier to take up on future if I had an issue? Would LVT be worse due to the screed Or would both be the same in which case I prefer LVT.

Neither LVT or Laminate will be able to be taken up and re-laid with a particularly successful outcome.

I would not want to try with either, but if I had to, I'd prefer to take my chances with Laminate.

Others may express the opposite choice between the two.

If this is really a concern, then something completely different would be better from the outset.

One does not put screed (or self leveling compound) down on top of a suspended timber floor. The flex & movement in the wood would see the screed breaking up fairly quickly.

To level out a wooden floor, sheets of ply are usually put down.
