Can we lay Cushion Vinyl over Quarry Tiles?

27.10.2015

Madeleine Griffin asked:

"I have ordered samples of your cushion vinyl flooring sheet and am keen to lay this in our kitchen / utility room. We currently have quarry tiles (1960 ones) – not lovely old ones and wonder if it’s possible to lay this straight over the top – we are worried it may not adhere properly – have you any advice please? Also we have 2 dogs, will this be robust enough for their paws or will it mark easily?"

"The cushion floor can actually be loose laid onto the quarry tiles providing they are completely flat and you can also use spray adhesive/double sided tape around the edges. If you are wanting to fully adhere the vinyl down then you would need to add a layer of self-levelling screed or plywood to the quarry tiles. In regards to your dogs, like any cushion floor they will puncture/split if a sharp object is dropped, so the claws may well tear the vinyl overtime. In regards to marking the floor, dirt will be easily washed off with warm water."
