It s vacant and it smells.
Can you kilz subflooring prior to laminate.
I know that to stay away from any water based product.
If you decide to float the system like a laminate floor using kilz or another primer wouldn t be needed since the underlayment you place between the subfloor and the plank would act as a moisture barrier.
You can prime it instead but use.
But i have to agree with the person who said the sub floor may need to be removed.
The previous owners had pets who seemed to have peed around the house.
1 plan to kilz paint the 3 4 plywood sub floor to try to reduce any moisture that may migrate up from the higher humidity in the basement.
We just bought a house.
Yes i agree with the under layment installation first for floor tile.
Thanks for any info you guys can pass along.
Wood and concrete are the idea subfloors.
The kitchen is 16 x 20 feet.
The laminate was installed in two large pieces so there is only one seam and it blends in so well you never notice it.
Does anyone no which exact brand of kilz is the best.
2 also think the paint will provide a slicker surface for the expansion and contraction of the flooring and the cushion under the flooring as humidity changes a lot in michigan throughout the year.
Just make sure you use an underlayment that has the moisture barrier if your floors can be installed in this manner.
Apply wood sealants in a well ventilated area with doors and windows open.
If you want to ignor this make sure the sub floor is smooth and then apply a wood sealer.
Or you may store it outdoors under a tarp with blocks underneath the bottom sheet to keep it from touching the ground.
Laminate flooring cannot ever be installed on a subfloor made of carpet or padding.
I have applied latex kilz to our sub floor two times and the cats still go to the same spots as before.
Yes you can apply kilz to seal the floor before laying carpet and vinyl.
Have seen allot of post to use nature s miracle spray first then seal with kilz to seal in the odor s.
Major uneven floors may get an overlay of luan plywod.
In some instances you might be able to install your flooring over an existing floor but it is important to check prior to installation if it is a suitable material.
Don t know about concrete check the kilz label.
Unless the subfloor is seriously uneven and it can t be corrected reasonably by screwing it down into the floor joists the installer will likely just lay the hardwood over minor uneven subfloor.
We want to rip out of the carpet and lay down new laminate flooring and we were recommended to buy kilz oil based primer to get rid of the pet urine on the floors.
And of course have two cats that have spoiled the carpet and some of the sub floor.
