I wanted to replace the carpet in my bathroom with vinyl tiles. It is on the ground floor, and underneath is concrete--no wonder the carpet seemed to crappy. I have a sheet of plywood that is finished on one side that I can cut to fit the floor, but I would have to subdivide it to cover the dimensions. I have some questions:
- How should I secure this to the concrete? That is, should I use both an adhesive and screws? Use nothing?
- Should the edges of the cut boards be perfectly snug? Should they be perfectly snug with the walls?
If you're curious about the size of the boards I'd use, it's a 4'x8' sheet to cover a 5'x6' area. I was going to split it into 4 pieces; 3 would be 2x3 and one would be 2x4. I should be able to cover all the area with it. Would these smaller pieces be more trouble?
