Sticking vinyl tiles to floorboards

29 replies

I'm planning to lay some cheap ish vinyl wood effect plank things on top of tongue and groove, which is in pretty poor condition. This is a temporary solution, to stop imminently crawling dd getting splinters - we plan to get a nice floor at some point. Although round here temporary solutions have a habit of lasting longer than we had planned.

My question: do I really need to seal the floorboards with PVA? Or can I just lightly sand, damp dust, and leave to dry?

Confused that's exactly what I'd do (and have done before) if I could get the furniture and boxes out. These boards aren't even particularly lumpy, so it might even look good!

I've got a couple of small ish bits of hardboard and a pack of tiles, so once dd is in bed (feeding atm), we'll see how well it goes.
