Question:
We have the usual concrete garage floor. We've painted it but it comes off
after time.
Would a covering of sheet vinyl work? Glued down, or unglued?
Answer:
You can put the vinyl floor covering down OK. 1st you need to scrape up all
the loose paint. The floor may need leveling where the paint came up, or at
lease the edges of the spots where the loose paint was removed sanded to
"feather" those spots so these spots won't show through the vinyl after
laying. The most critical part is getting the correct mastic for setting
the vinyl to the floor. Make sure it is for cement with ground contact and
for the brand vinyl you will be using.
