Installing your new vinyl flooring is easy, but there are some mistakes that you should avoid. If it's not done correctly the first time around then be sure to ask for help from an experienced installer at either a local store or online.

 

Here are some tips on how to install vinyl flooring perfectly.

 

Pro Tips Install Sheet Vinyl Flooring

 

Installing vinyl flooring is not as simple and straightforward a process as many people think. There are certain things you need to take into account before getting your hands on this type of material, such as size or color etcetera but also how it will be installed which could differ depending what kind that particular product falls under (vinyl sheet vs tile). The following article can help guide those looking at purchasing these products so they know exactly what's involved when installing them correctly.

 

Prep the Room

 

When removing wall decorations, it is important to protect the surrounding area by not damaging any furniture or other fixtures. Start with disassembly first and remove all items in order so that there are no damaged pieces when you're done prying away at stickers/moldings on trim molding.

 

When you're done molding, remove the nails using pliers and if they are embedded in it then pull them through from behind. Otherwise your moulding will split.

 

Prep the Floor

 

If you have concrete, clean it up and let it dry. Repair any holes or cracks with a grinder before smoothing out the surface for an even finish.

 

For wood floors we recommend using sandpaper to remove high spots then Professionals Maintenance Cleaner which will kill bacteria on contact (it smells great too).

 

Old linoleum or vinyl flooring can be left in good condition if it’s not too badly damaged. If there are any indents, use an embosser to remove them and smooth out the surface before laying your new carpet down on top of that! You might also consider contacting a store because removing these types of floors yourself could potentially cause more problems than solutions (depending how much time you spend doing so).

Prep the Subfloor

 

Now that you've prepared the subfloor, it's time to install your new vinyl sheet. Make sure there are no gaps or cracks before installing so they don't get filled up with dirt from below! Use a trowel for Level compounds and fill in any low spots where necessary- this will help make sure everything stays smooth on top once its all said done.

 

Prep the Door Trim

 

The first step in installing your floor is cutting the under door trim by an eighth of an inch. There are two methods you can use, either with a multi-tool that has wood blades or just remove it until then and put it back again when ready for installation.

 

Cut the Sheet Vinyl Flooring

 

With its 6' x 12', vinyl sheets can be installed in small spaces like bathrooms and kitchens. It's important that you leave the flooring overnight before installing so as to give it time for acclimatization.

 

You can measure the floor area and cut vinyl with 4 inches extra on all sides. Then put it in place, trimming away any excess that may be present- this works well for rooms without many angles or obstacles.
