I. Paper Backing
- Clean the pre-installed area by vacuum cleaner or sweeping to remove grit and dirt. The subfloor surface must be smooth, flat, and dry.
- Starting from any corner of the room. Lay the vinyl sheet on the floor by allowing approx 1.5 - 2 inches of the edges, both width-wise and length-wise, lapped over the wall (PIC #1)
- Lay the next vinyl sheet on the floor by letting the edge of the sheet lapped over the previous one (PIC #2). The overlap is approx 1 inch. Be sure to match the pattern repeat of each vinyl sheet (PIC #3). Continue the same process until the whole area is filled up.
- Use the sharp cutter blade to cut out all corner overlaps (PIC #4). For the overlapped part of each vinyl sheet. Cut on the center of the overlap and take out the remnants from cutting (PIC #5).
- Starting from the corner, flip the vinyl sheet over and use a notched trowel to spread the water-based flooring adhesive onto the subfloor ; wait for 10 - 15 minutes, then lay the vinyl sheet on the floor and press it thorougly with thick cloth to remove the air-bubble underneath in order to secure the adhesiveness (PIC#7). Continue the same process on the next sheet until finish
- Seal the same with alpha-cyanoacrylate or any other seam-sealing adhesives (PIC #8).
- Avoid heavy traffic or heavy rolling loads or any type of maintenance procedures on the installed floor until the adhesive has cured for a minimum of 3 days.
II. PVC Backing
- Follow the same process as paper backing from step 1 to step 4.
- Flip the vinyl sheet over and stick the double faced adhesive tape around the permeter of the subfloor by leaving the gap of approx 1 cm. from the wall, and at the seams, stick the tape as shown in (PIC #9)
- Lay the vinyl sheet on the adhesive taped floor, and seal the seams with alpha-cyanoacrylate or any other seam-sealing adhesives (PIC #8).
Remark : The bove installation guides should be performed by a flooring professional in order to obtain the maximum performance and satisfaction.
