    Pricing a LVT job for a college,nice job reasonable size.Its a turn of century old red brick school building you know the type?
    Refurbed about 10 years ago subs are all wood.About 7 years ago we changed most of the flooring to Altro Designer & one of the Tarkett safety's can't remember which one. Subs were a nightmare plenty of screed & 6mm ply fixed @100mm centres.
    Floors are in good nick would you degrease,prime & 700/Renovation or would you 4mm & top or would you rip it all out open a can of worms & cry like a baby?

    If the sub floor is all wood and stable and sound and height isn't an issue I would favour the ply over top with good fixing screws and flex latex, not the best / correct method of stripping up back to original sub floor but sometimes its just not poss with time scales and school budgets

    So general consensus is ply then flexi.Not degrease prime then flexi.
