smoothing over ashpalt sub- floors? | |
if i overlay an ashpalt floor in my kitchen with 6mm plywood drilled and pluged at 300mm centres (8`x 4` ply 100 x 1"screws) am i creating future problems -
will screws `pop` out due to foot traffic?
will plywood warp and twist?
will drilling ashalpt cause damp problems {as ashalpt is a damp proof membrane}
my intensions are to fit sheet vinyl cushion floor as a floorcovering over this. incidently, selflevelling flooring compound appears to expensive and would take a lot to reach 6mm height

all your insinuations are correct. the thickness of the plywood may not be enough to hold the foot traffic thus screws may pop out and become twisted in the process.
what you can do is lay another layer of asphalt to reach the 6mm height you desire before installing vinyl cushion on your floor.
