I need flooring ideas for our master bathroom.
The previous owner carpeted our master bathroom (I know....damn gross).
I estimate available cash for a full renovation (new tile floor, cabinets, etc.) in about two years.
In the meantime, the carpet must go ASAP and new plywood subfloor installed (crawlspace below).
I wouldn't mind installing cheap vinyl for now. Will the glue damage the subfloor wen removed in two years? Is there a floating floor option I can use? Any other ideas?
I used some cheap vinyl carpet with no glue. Put it over construction paper and just used a touch of glue by the tub and doorway. It looks nice and didn't cost an arm and leg. Easy to change out when we want to.
I would try NOT to remove the existing plywood, just pull up the carpet. If the plywood is not terrible it makes the most sense to try to get some inexpensive resilient flooring that requires no adhesive or perhaps just some perimeter adhesive -- Resilient Flooring | Vinyl Sheet Floors from Armstrong
There are some pretty inexpensive vinyl floors that do not require any glue. They are called Lay-Flat or something like that (Armstrong??). I saw some at our building center the other day. We were pricing out something else and for our 11x5' bathroom, it would have been about $150 and the lay-flat stuff was a bit less per sq foot than what we were looking at.
I went with it as some friends may pee where they should not.
