Sheet
vinyl flooring can be used in any
type of floor at home since it is durable and much attractive. Whether it's in
the bathroom, kitchen or living room, just go for it and you will get the best
results that you have been looking for. The most promising thing about this
flooring is that it is very easy and simple to install once you are patient
enough to go through all the required procedures as well as instructions. For
your sake, this article is fully dedicated to showing you how you can easily
install this type of flooring without seeking professional assistance.
Cut The Vinyl To The Required
Measurements
The
first thing is having your material and all tools of trade ready. Take your
vinyl and roll it out in an open area equivalent to where you will be using it.
Mark the floor dimensions on it using a ruler and pen marker that is erasable.
For all the measurements you make, give an allowance of few inches and make
sure you double check them all not to make any simple mistakes. With a knife,
cut the material to fit into the shape of your house floor and be keen not to
make any blunder as it might turn out to be very costly in the long run. Once
you are through, carry it to the exact place where you intend to use it. The
place should be clean.
Once
your sheet vinyl flooring is well in place, trim it accordingly to make
sure it can fit perfectly and once you manage that then the next thing is to
glue it in place. The best way to do this is by working from the center towards
the outer edge of the room all this time pressing the vinyl into the adhesive
gently. Repeat the same until the whole floor is covered to your satisfaction.
For the parts that have been covered by the adhesive, wash them with warm water
before it is dry to make sure the floor does not look ugly afterwards.
You Can Then Finish The Floor
When
you are sure the flooring is well in place, proceed to the final step of
verifying whether it has any problems or defects. You can walk on it on
barefoot to help you detect any foreign objects trapped in the floor and remove
any one you get because it might affect your floor in future if left unattended
to. If there are any trims you notice glue them and screw down all the
thresholds.
However,
there are precautions that need to be observed when using sheet vinyl
flooring after installation. It should only be used when the adhesive has
completely dried out and avoid as much as possible fitting more than one sheets
of vinyl together because this might make the floor to look ugly. It is
advisable that you keep some materials for repairs in case need arises but the
most important thing is for you to take good care of the flooring all the
times.
