Hello,
In the past when I have put down underlayment before putting down a linoleum bathroom floor, I have used underlayment nails. I am wondering if I can screw the underlayment down instead
I am my working on the floor in my master bath. I removed the tiles and the concrete/wiremesh substrate beneath it. In order to get it back to an even level with the wood floor in the hallway, I am installing a 23/32" pc of underlayment.
I did this same thing in another bathroom in the house and it worked fine.
The reason I am thinking of screwing the underlayment down is that the bathroom is on the second floor, and as part of the remodeling I need to do do work on the drain pipes of the shower. Although everything is working fine with the drain pipes, I like to give myself as easy access as I can.
If I screw the underlayment on, it would be much easier to gain access to the drain pipes in the future, should that need ever arise.
I am looking for cons of using screws.
Thanks,
Paul
