Does your vinyl floor need a revamp? With today’s changing trends, you want up-to-date flooring. The unique thing about flooring is that it can change and adapt to your home and budget. It’s quite possible that your vinyl has become damaged, discoloured, or worn, and you want to remove it in exchange for flooring that meets your specific needs.
You need the right tools
But how does one remove vinyl flooring? If it’s time for a change, can you remove a vinyl floor? Yes, you can, but removing vinyl flooring requires the right tools and equipment. After all, you’ll need to lift the vinyl off the subfloor and remove any leftover glue. If the vinyl is on concrete, you may need a diamond concrete grinder to clear the remaining adhesive.
A ride-on floor scraper effectively removes vinyl flooring. However, flooring specialists should operate this heavy-duty machinery designed for scraping and lifting vinyl. At Dex Flooring, we use proper techniques to ensure efficient and hassle-free vinyl floor removal. With our expertise, we confidently handle all types of flooring removal projects.
Another option is a self-propelled floor stripper, which quickly strips away old vinyl flooring. At Dex Flooring, we ensure that new flooring can only be installed once the surface is clean and even. A floor stripper removes old vinyl efficiently, and we thoroughly prepare the surface for the next stage of the project.
For small spaces, manual vinyl flooring removal is also possible. A good utility knife, a heat gun to soften the adhesive, and a pry bar or scraper can get the job done. Keep in mind that the difficulty of vinyl floor removal depends on the flooring’s condition and the type of adhesive used.
Flooring technology has advanced significantly in recent years, and at Dex Flooring, we have the expertise to answer all your flooring-related questions.
