I have a new respect for those who lay sheet vinyl, as I had no idea how difficult it was. And your demonstration of the process was in my opinion, perfect.

Found this helpful. Currently had carpet and over 10 years having pets it had to go. Was going to do plank vinyl flooring but go with sheet vinyl or linoleum for my living room. I’m no professional just a simple bus driver. So even if I screw it up I’ll still be happy. Wife and I plan on buying a new house to replace this modular home. So trying to fix and repair what I can till I can get legal matters done. This home was my deceased mother’s and was neglected

Good video one important thing to remember always remove the oil from your blade before cutting a seam. The oil can leave a dark line on light colored vinyl and could contaminate the seam sealer. I prefer using a trimmer blade in a utility knife to cut seams.

We have a 1996 trailer, 15 x 76. We are wanting to do the floor ourselves. The product we were initially interested in was Congoleum Expansion Wagon Wheel Sheet Vinyl 15 ft. Is it better to do it with the wood grain running the length of the house, ending up with extra vinyl. Or should it run perpendicular to the length and a bunch of seams?

Help! I've gotta 36x26 room. Fiberglass back sheet vinyl going in. Goods are 13 ft 1 3/4 inches. So I'm putting the seam right down the middle. Do I lay glue and install one side first or start in the middle. One journey man and two green helpers. I was thinking do the seam first and work from the middle. 5 gallon buckets of sand holding down the vinyl once I get it where I want. Glue 6 foot down the middle and work my seam. Opinion?

@FloorsbySouthernboys 10 ай бұрын

Start on one side, following half of the vinyl back and glue half of one piece of vinyl down let your glue flash before laying your vinyl back in it. I watched Glue has secured properly. Then you can roll your vinyl back into the adhesive. With that done, you should be working on the side of the vinyl now that has a seam on it, leave yourself about 2 foot or 18 inches from the edge of the vinyl and do the same thing with adhesive. So the vinyl back spread your adhesive let it dry and roll it into the adhesive then you’ll get your second piece of vinyl completely matched up to your seam, cut your seam and then fold it back about 2 foot or 18 inches on each side of your seam and glue that area. Once the glue dries place one side of the seam into the adhesive, roll it down and the glue. Start on the other piece, working the same together in the middle of the room and work to one side once that’s complete on that side, come back to the center again and work to the other end. After you complete you have your same put together in rolled in the glue then you can finish gluing the remainder of the floor

Hello Sir you're process will probably work on residential. But about one year ago me and two other intaller's did 35 thousand yards of sheet vinyl, seven thousand sq of LVP. And twelve thousand sq. Of LVT and two thousand sq yards of carpet tile.3 installer's with about 125yts.experience between the 3 of us completed the job in six months that included, 35/pallets of johnsonite cove Base 120/liner feet per box. My ion When it came two seaming this product we did it different this product was hospital grade high end that required welding. Love all that you do but maybe it wise to clarifie that you should always use manufacturing suggested recommendations for trimming seam's especially when it cones to high end Good's. Just a thought. Looking faward to the next one.

Rip the carpet up use luan that way you can inspect your sub floor and do any repairs laying over carpet is just a terrible thing to do get rid of layers first always as a rule of thumb. Your subfloor will love you and last longer as a result. It isn't hard to pull carpet and staples you can do a 12 x 12 room in a night after a full work shift I'd say for inexperienced person. Just have a couple good pair of needle nose and a hammer rip up the carpet and use the needle nose in a rolling motion to pull the staples. If your sub floor seems good and such I would just lay it right on there if it looks rough surface with divets if it is still okay to walk on I would fill the divets that are larger than 1/4" and lay down luan and staple it . Then lay your flooring.

If possible, should seams in medium/high traffic areas be avoided??
