Slanted Flooring Challenge

Tristan Scott Zell

Posted

I am remodeling an apartment in my building and for whatever reason the people that either built the place or remodeled it pitched the foundation. This has led to everything being visually/physically slanted inside of the apartment, I don't have any interest in going down to the foundation or studs to redo everything and have decided to just do what I can try to make it look better.  The problem that I am having is what type of flooring should I use for this space, since it is so slanted it will make using snap flooring hard. Is carpet a good option for a rental? I don't think it is but it may be the only option. Is there any flooring or solution that people would recommend that would work in this scenario that would make the apartment look good and desirable without it costing too much. Thanks.

I would also consider the liability issue. If the 'slant' is so noticeable that the tenant said they notice it in bed, then it sounds pretty severe. You could get a tenant or their guest that has a beer or two and stumbles, and hurts themselves, either for real or a fake accident....

It's usually best to just make things right. I would pour some self leveling compound before installing vinyl flooring.
