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? It may be time for change, but can a vinyl floor be removed? Yes, it can, but removing vinyl flooring requires the right tools and equipment. After all, you’ll have to get the vinyl off the subfloor and possibly any leftover glue. If your vinyl is on concrete, you may need to remove the leftover glue using a diamond concrete grinder.
- A ride-on floor scraper can also be used. However, this kind of heavy-duty machinery used for scraping and lifting vinyl should only be used by flooring specialists. At Dex Flooring, we know how to use the proper techniques to ensure all vinyl floor removal is done with efficiency and ease. With this kind of professionalism, we tackle all kinds of flooring removal projects with confidence.
- Another option is a self-propelled floor stripper. This kind of machinery makes light work of stripping away old vinyl flooring. At Dex Flooring we know that new flooring can only be laid once the surface is clean and even. A floor stripper simply removes old vinyl efficiently, and we’re sure that the surface to receive the new flooring is thoroughly prepared for the next stage of the project.
- For small spaces, there is also manual removal of vinyl flooring. This is where a good utility knife is required, a heat gun to soften the adhesive, and possibly a pry bar or scraper. You have to remember that removing vinyl flooring can vary in difficulty depending on the state of the flooring as well as the type of adhesive used.
