![]() Regardless of what type of flooring is currently installed, it can all be removed with a pry bar and or a hammer. The old saying “preparation is everything” holds a lot of meaning when it comes to installing any and all flooring so follow along closely! It is best to gently remove the base trim at this time with a pry bar so that it is not damaged during the removal or installation process (it can be set aside and will not be re-installed until the last stage). Now that an awesome design has been picked out, it is time to remove the old flooring from the bathroom. ![]() A simple list of tools is necessary to complete this project from start to finish including but not limited to: utility knife, tape measure, dry-erase marker, yard stick, hand saw, patching compound/self-leveling compound, putty knife, double sided tape, pry bar, rubber mallet, claw nose hammer, level, and depending upon the situation, adhesive remover. If a longer bathroom is being done, say a 5’ by 15’, and a design that runs long (such as a real wood design) is chosen, the design on the sheet vinyl should run the long way and not the short way. If a smaller sized bathroom is being done, be sure to avoid large abstract designs as they will most likely not be fully visible due to a vanity or toilet taking up some of the picture. This process can be simplified by choosing a few designs and asking for samples from whichever store carries them so that they can be brought home and compared in person. Not just any design will do as it should compliment the current colors of the trim, vanity, and paint on the walls. Before the work portion of this guide is described, make sure “free floating vinyl” is being looked at when picking a design.
