Shop Toilet

[faithhealer]

Does anybody know the name of the floor Covering found in toilets and shower areas? Looks like a textured plastic sheet, often rolled up the wall to form skirting.
Have a shop toilet to quote and have a couple of questions for you chaps.
1, can you get this stuff up or can it be tiled over? (concrete floor)
2 customer is looking at natural stone!! which personally I think will look grotty fairly quickly in a public toilet (worse culprit apparently is a member of staff who can't hit the pan and wipes his hands on the wall, pig)
3 Thinking of epoxy grout for the floor no matter what tiles he goes for,

Any thoughts fellas

Hi john.......sounds like Altro to me......it will be glued down....use a heat gun to soften it up and remove......and to remove as much of the glue as poss......A slurry coat immediatley followed by latex leveller will prep the floor nice for tiling..

yes it easy to get up, i did a pub toilet last year and it had that stuff down over a concrete floor, came up no problem, very smelly though,rotting urine all over!!! nice !!
leaves a bit of glue behind , easy enough to get up with a hot air gun/blower
