It's mainly known as safety flooring amongst people and personally I don't. Mainly because I specialise in domestic flooring and safety floors are normally for commercial purposes e.g. Hospitals. That said I know how they work if you have any questions I could answer for you.

Good Morning Experts,

 

I need to tile three floors with stone, ceramic tiles. Conservatory.....currently vinyl tiles on wooden floor..........kitchen....quarry tiles and bathroom also quarry tiles.

Can the new tiles be layed ontop of this or will they not stick.

 

Thanks,

Question for you then.

 

One off my older shower blocks on my campsite has a concrete floor with very little if any damp proof. We normally have vinyl down on it which lasts about 2 years. My newer blocks all have welded vinyl, but my flooring guys down here will not touch the old block due to the damp in the floor. Any advice? I know the best answer is to replace the floor but that is not happening.

**** the rooms with the quarry tiles will be fine to go over them although if the subfloor is a little unstable I would recommend you screed it before hand to give you a level work space however the wooden floor with vynl tiles I would recommend that you ply the floor with a thick ply 18mm and up to ensure that there is as little movement as possible so the grout won't crack over time.

 

Hint:

Make sure that if you get a stone tile that it's not porous otherwise liquid like tea or coffee if spilt can stain the stone, this can easily be fixed though by sealing the stone once it's been laid but this will change the colour slightly like applying a clear stain to oak would bring the grain out so test it before you do so on a scrap piece hope this helps.

As you say the best way to deal with this is to replace the floor. However if the damp is as you say minamal then you may be able to apply a liquid DPM before fitting a welded vynl to do this you will have to make sure the surface of the concrete floor is visably dry this can be done by putting in dehumidifiers until dry ish then you will have to apply FBall F77 to the concrete floor then when this is dry you will have to apply Fball P131 neat to the floor as a primer then you will have to put a finishing screed over that recommended you use Fball stopgap 300hd and apply about 3mm thick when dry you should have a floor which you could lay anything on and not worry about damp. That said it will probably cost as much as getting builders in to replace the builders screed. Anymore questions just ask.

Yep, what he said! The FBall two part DPM is awesome, however the due to the total cost I would probably get the builders in and get it replaced.
