Reader: Can i install laminate flooring over left over tile mortar?
I have removed my ceramic tile in the kitchen and there is still tile mortar (glue) on the cement foundation. It is ridiculously hard to scrape it off. Is it possible to install the laminate over the mortar or do i need to find a better way to remove it? If i do have to remove the mortar is there a easier way then using a scraper?
Our answer: We have some good news for you on the installation of your laminate flooring.
As long as the glue from the tile isn’t sticking up and creating bumps. You want a pretty flat surface to begin working with and if that is the case you should be able to install the laminate flooring right over the top saving you hours of miserable work.
If it is raised you can go to Home Depot or Lowe;s and rent an automatic scraper. These make the job much easier and are worth the money spent on renting.
Have fun installing your floor you will enjoy your laminate floor for years to come!
