I have about 500sqft of 12" tile installed over the original 3/4" subfloor on a modular condo job. I looked for indicators in the closets and think it's thinset but defn not a layer of anything under the tile. There are lots of cracks at the joints-some tiles, but I will remove and install an engineered wood floor per clients request.
Any tips on removal of existing? I've scraped enough VCT and figure the scraper may help but concerned about gouging of the floor/backed out nails and trying to get the surface smooth for the new covering. I have a belt sander if needed to knock down the thinset.
I'm leaning towards an adhesive installation for the flooring. Probably not looking for 3/4" nail down based on clients request. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
