    What is considered the correct procedure for laying LVT on an unpainted metal floor in a commercial situation? Karndean simply say 'consult your supplier.

    Thanks Kev. How you doing? Why 700? Is it designed for metal? It is a galvanised raised access floor in panels with almost no movement. Would Mapie Renovation be suitable?

    If it were me...a good sand with a low-grit paper. Damp-mop, then hit it with acetone. Use a pressure sensitive glue. Will that be good for warranty issues? Probly not. But I bet it works...

    I highly doubt there's a warranted guarantee for installing over metal...if there is, I would like to know.
