14 Tips To Prolong Vinyl Flooring Life

At present, vinyl flooring has become a popular new building material in the market. However, if the construction is improper during the installation process, it will have a great impact on the overall effect. If the daily maintenance is improper, it will also shorten the vinyl flooring life.

 

The following are some common problems that can help extend the service life of your vinyl flooring.

Tips during installation.

1) The completion of cement in the air is less than three months, and it may be more than three months after the completion, but the doors and windows of the room are blocked, not ventilated, and the moisture is too high. In this case, the vinyl floor will be arched, or the joint will crack and warp if it is laid for a little longer.

 

2) when paving the PVC flooring, the expansion gap at any place is less than 1 cm, especially when paving the door edge, wall corner and hidden parts, roughly measure the expansion gap or uneven saw board, which makes any part of the floor fight with the fixed object. It only takes any part of the floor to fight with the fixture to produce force and reaction force, part or all of which will be arched, and joint cracking or warping will occur in case of tension.

 

3)  After the PVC floor is paved, it will not enter the house for several months, and the doors and windows will be closed for a long time, which will make the indoor atmosphere unstable and the humidity insufficient. Especially in winter and summer, the “closed plate” in this environment is prone to arch and crack and warping.

 

4) Before the PVC floor, although the geothermal heating room had been tested for heat supply, the geothermal construction unit did not reach the maximum temperature and continue to observe the change of ground temperature in order to hand over the work as soon as possible or save funds. The test was stopped after the local temperature became available. In this way, a small amount of moisture and temperature were not distributed. When the floor was paved, once the heat was again supplied, the moisture and humidity that could not be distributed increased sharply. Perhaps even though we have done a complete experiment, the geothermal temperature has not gradually increased after paving, but has been raised to the limit once, so that the moisture, moisture and heat generated by the rapid rise to the limit temperature will lead to floor blistering.

 

5) In order to catch up with the schedule, the paving workers did not pave and maintain the floor according to the instructions, especially when the floor was wiped in the air, so that the floor joint was often wet, causing joint cracking and corner warping.

 

6) Because of the increase of floor water absorption and the expansion and contraction of PVC floor in winter, the floor has not been placed in the user’s room for more than 12 hours in advance for temperature adaptation and “thawing recovery”. It has been a problem since the floor was paved for a period of time. When paving, the floor mat is not staggered and stacked, especially the floor mat joints are not completely sealed with adhesive tape, so that moisture can escape from one place. In this case, the joints are not cracked, but blistered or warped. This is the most common reason.

Tips of daily using, clean and maintenance.

 

  1. Use doormats at all exterior entrances to prevent dirt and debris from being tracked onto the vinyl flooring.
  2. Use rugs or mats in high-traffic areas to reduce wear and tear.
  3. Clean the vinyl flooring regularly with a mild detergent and warm water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scrubbers.
  4. Use furniture protectors or felt pads on the bottom of furniture legs to prevent scratches.
  5. Avoid dragging heavy objects across the vinyl flooring.
  6. Avoid exposing the vinyl flooring to direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time, as this can cause discoloration.
  7. Use a vacuum cleaner or soft-bristled broom to sweep the floor regularly to remove dirt and dust.
  8. Avoid using cleaning products that contain wax or silicone.

Of course it is very important to choose the best quality vinyl flooring.
