That old VCT is coming out!

Here is what the old VCT floors look like:

I've got nothing against VCT, and VCT can sometimes be really nice (i.e. redneck modern blog with cool shiny black Armstong VCT). However, previous owners went with a brown colored VCT, and thart brown looks really bad in my opinion. It is currently everywhere other than the bedrooms. The good thing is that it is newer VCT, so we don't have to deal with the original 1950s asbestos tiles and mastic! Previous installers apparently removed all.

What's the plan? We'll rip out all the VCT and replace it with modern 12x24 tile. Our choice of tile is the Sintesi Glamour Grey (Brochure).

Our tile contractor will remove all the VCT, and lay the tile. The team have started removing the VCTs in the kitchen area yesterday.

Removing VCt is difficult, scraping off the old mastic is even more difficult. Kitchen is halfway done. There is about 900 more sqft more to go! We'll update as we remove the floor, prep it and start laying the tile!
