how about the stairs...i get stuck in this step...not sure if I should re-do the stairs completely or just tear out all the glued down engineer wood from the threads.....
If the old floor is glued on concrete, no you can't. Many manufacturers will void your warranty. Read their install instructions carefully because companies like Shaw and Coretec will explicitly say you don't do this.
@@JoyinFlorida it's warranty on the LVP material should the owner experience a flooring failure in the future. The manufacturer's warranty covers replacement if the product doesn't perform as intended. The caveat of course is it has to be installed as detailed in their installation guidelines. If you put it over the hardwood that's glued over concrete (which they tell you NOT to do), the owner has given the manufacturer a free pass to deny their claim if the floor experiences problems. The customer is then stuck with the cost to do the whole floor again which can be very expensive.
@@mariateresagalito7053 ahhh I gotcha. I think people like me would have to weigh out their options though; spends thousands of dollars tearing up the concrete, then resurfacing, just to put down 700.00 worth of plank. OR, just put down the plank and hope their product isn't crap lol. I'm going for option 2 because I had no idea about glue down down engineered hardwoods when we got them, now 10 years later, they're a mess :(((
