In Reply to: Vinyl over cement - Is it a good idea? posted by Susan on October 19, 19100 at 06:17:29:
: The cement floor in the kitchen has patches of adhesive. It is not level and has cracks (live in a clay area of foundation problems). Can I put vinyl (sheet or tile) over it. If so what preparation should I use? I hear horror stories about moisture, staining, etc. Help!
How old is the house, are the cracks stabil, how thick is the adhesive, can you remove it?
Simple yest for moisture-take a sheet of clear plastic say 12"x12" and duct tape the edges to the floor, leave it for 48 hrs. If no moisture collects you should be OK
