Subfloor Preparation
7. Existing Tile on Suspended Wood Subfloors - follow all instructions in section 8, however instead of applying a skim coat over existing flooring, cover with white felt base paper before installing Allied Tile flooring.
8. Existing Vinyl Asbestos and Asphalt Tile - NEVER install Allied Tile DIRECTLY over these products. White felt lining paper must be installed covering these products before Allied Tile can be properly installed.
Cautionary Safety Warning - NEVER sand or dry scrape existing resilient flooring, lining felt or cutback adhesive. These products may contain asbestos particles. Installation of new flooring over existing asbestos flooring is considered preferable to removal. The removal of asbestos flooring could cause asbestos to be released into the atmosphere and if inhaled could cause medical problems. When removal cannot be avoided, please follow all proper procedures and safety precautions in the Resilient Floor Covering Institute Guidelines.
