If installing vinyl sheet flooring on concrete, on plywood, or over particle board, make sure the manufacturer’s guidelines are followed for preparation and acclimation.
How To - The Installation Method:
- Make relief cuts as necessary to fit the floor to the installation area.
- If required, apply Lonseal Double Face Tape (DFT) at seam locations.
- For simple rooms or installations, select the sheet nearest the wall or perimeter and tube (gently fold the flooring over itself lengthwise) towards the center of the room. Take care, and keep the radius large when tubing the material. Failure to do so could result in damage to the flooring, and visual imperfections may appear on the surface.
- Spread the appropriate adhesive over the substrate, and after sufficient open time, roll the flooring into the adhesive.
- After anchoring the first section down, tube the other half of the sheet, and the adjacent sheet, if present. Spread the adhesive over the substrate and seam location, including any DFT. After sufficient open time, roll the flooring into the adhesive, removing the DFT liner beforehand.
- Continue until the entire area is fully adhered.
- Trim seams if necessary, and roll the flooring securely into the adhesive or DFT with a hand roller.
- Heat or chemical weld the seams.
