I have the challenge of renovating a 1,700sg ft showroom at one of my very good customers. This will be done in Monster Garage fashion with a time limit of about 12 hours start to finish. I will have 4 guys assisting with the renovation.
The floor is 25+ years old and consists of linolium and shag carpet that is worn down to the texture and height of of indoor/outdoor carpet. I am 99% sure the subfloor is concrete.
For the linolium I plan on using dry ice and busting the squares up for the fast removal.
The carpet hopefully will pull up but I do not know how it is glued down so it may be a challenge as well.
I have used Dad's Paint stripper to remove the linolium glue on floors before but it take awhile to soak in. Time is not on my side for this project.
After the glue residue is removed, the floor will be sanded, stained and sealed.
If anybody has any better techniques, I'm open to suggestions.
Thanks
