We are in the process of remodeling our bath. It has been gutted. It is an old house and the floors have sloped and are uneven. There is plank flooring in the bathroom and bad spots have been replaced with plywood.
We have received conflicting information on how to prepare the floor for a covering. We have put felt paper down and were intending on pouring a floor leveler over it and then putting down luan and taping the seams and finally putting down the vinyl sheeting. It is the type that goes down with tape along the border.
After reading a bit on forums I've seen recommendations to put the lever down last and the flooring on top of it. Aside from the fact that the luan would be more exposed to possible water damage it if goes down last, does the order matter? Another concern is using this type of flooring with the tape. I've never tried it before. Will it stick to a leveler? I think it's Henry's leveler we picked up at Lowe's.
Any guidance with this would be greatly appreciated.
