Is Installing Vinyl Sheet Flooring Easy?

Iinstalling vinyl sheet flooring is a relatively manageable process that many people can complete. Some commercial products require the help of a professional installer, however.

What one person may consider easy may be relatively hard for another person. Determining what the installation process will be like really depends on the specific vinyl sheet flooring you’re working with.

It’s generally recommended that professional installers handle the commercial vinyl options that need to be glued down with welded seams.

How To - The Installation Method:

1. Make relief cuts as necessary to fit the floor to the installation area.
2. If required, apply Lonseal Double Face Tape (DFT) at seam locations.
3. 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.
4. Spread the appropriate adhesive over the substrate, and after sufficient open time, roll the flooring into the adhesive.


5. 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.
6. Continue until the entire area is fully adhered.
7. Trim seams if necessary, and roll the flooring securely into the adhesive or DFT with a hand roller.
8. Heat or chemical weld the seams.
