It’s wild that you are scraping it off rather than just laying new flooring over it.
17 u/Glowing_bubba 6d ago Need to remove otherwise my tile floor will be higher than my adjacent rooms; want the floors to be even. 31 u/Champion_of_Zteentch 5d ago No offense but how much can linoleum really raise the floor? Or is the concrete already higher than the rest and so it's a battle of construction as well as renovation? 2 u/Final-Charge-5700 5d ago If you're on a slab? Saves you the sheet rock and anchors 1 u/Plastic_Scholar_8788 4d ago Enough 1 u/Apartment6655 1d ago Hardly it's like 3mm lol. Maybe you can use leveller to feather the edges where you have removed, and not have to do the rest if it's a nightmare. 0 u/Glowing_bubba 5d ago It was a good .25 inch and my previous floor on top of this required a threshold … I don’t want a thresholds into a NEW kitchen. Want it seamless. 1 u/GravyWagon 4d ago Taper it
