Installing Amtico on Existing Resilient Floors
It is not recommended that Amtico products are applied over existing resilient floors.
What is a resilent floor?
A resilient floor is designed to be durable and resistant to stains and water. Amtico and Spacia are examples of resilient flooring.
I have an existing resilient floor which needs replacing, what should I do?
In such situations, the old flooring should be removed and as much as possible of the old adhesive scraped. Provided the remaining residues are well-bonded and non-water softenable, it may be possible to prime and then apply a suitable levelling compound, otherwise the residues will need to be removed using an appropriate mechanical method. Under no circumstances should solvents be used.
Note: Some resilient tiles and adhesives can contain asbestos. In case of doubt, contact the relevant local authority for advice on their removal and disposal.
