kajua 1 Report post Posted June 28, 2007 My parents place the 3 bedrooms last time they put those rubber tiles when it was first build like 36 years ago. The last time they use those glue to stick the square rubber tiles onto the concrete floorWhen they put those, they fill up the level of the room floor to be the same as the living room which hard marble tilesNow I wanna replace the marble tiles, previously I was told I cannot hack cause the cement floor was too thick if I hack, i might damage the neighbours downstairs. So I was wondering what are my options to replace themIf I wanna do an overlay what can I use? Just wood laminates ? Or can I use the those big rubber sheets that they use to cover the hospital ward floor? Or can i overlay with tiles?Any suggestions? Will it be easy to remove the old glue below the rubber tiles ? They been there for 30+ yearsHow much would it cost ?Thanks in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you are doing only for bedroom only, then the floor level cannot match the living area. Hence, it is prefer to hack all.
