It s vacant and it smells.
Can you kilz subflooring prior to laminate.
The previous owners had pets who seemed to have peed around the house.
The kitchen is 16 x 20 feet.
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.
Thanks for any info you guys can pass along.
Or you may store it outdoors under a tarp with blocks underneath the bottom sheet to keep it from touching the ground.
The laminate was installed in two large pieces so there is only one seam and it blends in so well you never notice it.
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.
I have applied latex kilz to our sub floor two times and the cats still go to the same spots as before.
And of course have two cats that have spoiled the carpet and some of the sub floor.
We just bought a house.
If you want to ignor this make sure the sub floor is smooth and then apply a wood sealer.
The cabinets not shown are to the right of the picture but you can see a small bit of the island on the right.
Seal the subfloor before adding your carpet or vinyl flooring to protect it from spills that seep through the carpet.
Have seen allot of post to use nature s miracle spray first then seal with kilz to seal in the odor s.
You can prime it instead but use.
Wood and concrete are the idea subfloors.
Yes you can apply kilz to seal the floor before laying carpet and vinyl.
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.
Does anyone no which exact brand of kilz is the best.
It s in this picture to the right of the table.
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.
Don t know about concrete check the kilz label.
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.
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.
But i have to agree with the person who said the sub floor may need to be removed.
I know that to stay away from any water based product.
Yes i agree with the under layment installation first for floor tile.
Major uneven floors may get an overlay of luan plywod.
