What do you do on jobs where the client has a bunch of big heavy appliances like washers and dryers or a refrigerator or a deep freezer, or large heavy built in bars? How do you move that stuff out of the way if there isn't a good place to put it or if the freezer needs to stay plugged in? For a bar or kitchen island, will you just do the floor around it, or will you actually attempt to move it in order to cover the asbestos flooring underneath? Obviously, I'm asking because I have all this stuff in my basement and the prospect of having to move it is a huge issue for me when it comes to wanting to seal the floor.
It's really up to you but typically clients will clear the area and remove any baseboards/trim because they intend to install new ones. In your case, it might work well to coat in sections-this complicates things but where there's a will & creativity, there's a way.

@@LeggariProducts Thank you for responding. What do you think about competitor products like Perfect Paint? Is it as good as the stuff that you guys use?
Yes! Your process would be identical up until you get the seal coat down of epoxy. Rather than broadcasting silica sand into that, you will do the base coat of epoxy over the epoxy seal coat and go from there.

It's best to fill any divots, cracks, etc before installing any products over top but thankfully, this product is pretty forgiving. Nonetheless, it never hurts to spend more time on floor prep and create a smooth, even surface💯 Find these products and more here! 👉 leggari.com/order-flooring/#hardwood-overlay-kits
I know this doesn’t apply to this video but I have poured epoxy twice on my bathroom vanity and can’t get the fish eyes out of the surface. I’m so frustrated. The first time I used isopropyl alcohol and heat and second just heat. Still have them on the surface. Is this something that you have to live with or is it possible to get a clear pour?
As you can see in our videos, it is so possible to pour glass-smooth epoxy! Sadly, teh quality of epoxy you use can definitely affect the outcome. Some epoxies are formulated to push air to the surface and self level, like ours. Despite this, we also recommend misting the surface of epoxy with Denatured alcohol to eliminate micro bubbles that might have been mixed in.

Is it a bad idea to just cover the asbestos tiles with a damp proof membrane sheet, then thin layer of self levelling compound and top off with underfloor and laminate?
This might work. As you probably know, you don't want to mess around with asbestos and if you seal it with anything, you want to be sure it's completely incapsulated.
@@LeggariProducts What about products like Perfect Paint? Is that stuff any good? It's designed for non professionals to seal down asbestos in only two coats and you just apply it with a roller.
You might be able to, but if they are a "floating" you would most likely just want to remove the LVP and prep the existing floor. No matter what you are coating over, you need to ensure it is solid, even, and can bond well to our products. You can contact our installation techs here support.leggari.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
