4 Tips on Vinyl Flooring Installation in Summer

What is vinyl sheet flooring

Vinyl sheet flooring is a type of resilient flooring made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) in a sheet form. It typically comes in a roll that can be cut to size and shape as per requirement. It is one of the most popular forms of vinyl flooring and is often used in residential and commercial settings due to its durability, water resistance, and low maintenance.

Vinyl sheet flooring can come in different types such as standard vinyl, inlaid, and vinyl no-wax. Standard vinyl flooring has the color and pattern printed on the surface, while inlaid vinyl has the color and pattern extended throughout the entire thickness of the flooring. Vinyl no-wax has a tough wear layer on the surface that makes it resistant to scratches and scuffs.

Vinyl sheet flooring also have different thickness levels and surface finish, like glossy or matte, to match personal taste and functional need.

It is also known for its ability to replicate the look of natural materials such as wood, stone, or tile at a fraction of the cost.

4 tips of vinyl flooring installation in summer.

For PVC vinyl flooring, the installation quality is very important, which directly affects the use effect and life of the floor. Good pavement can save a lot of trouble in the later stage. Now it is in hot summer, so what should we pay attention to in the pavement?

 

1、 Although the temperature is high in summer, it is also rainy season in summer. Before paving, check the wetness of the ground. Paving can only be carried out if it meets the standard!

 

2、 In summer, the temperature of pvc floor in different environments such as warehouse, transportation and pavement is very different, and the problem of thermal barrier and cold shrinkage is more obvious. Therefore, before paving, it is necessary to place it on the construction site for 24 hours, so that its thermal expansion and contraction ratio can fully match the temperature of the construction site before paving.

 

3、 All floors should have expansion joints when they are paved, which is to leave a certain space for the expansion and contraction of the floor. The temperature is high in summer, and the floor is in “expansion” state, so the reserved expansion joint is smaller than that in winter. If the expansion joint is also reserved according to the winter standard, the distance of the expansion joint will become larger due to the floor shrinkage when the temperature decreases.

 

4、 High temperature in summer will lead to rapid evaporation of water. Therefore, when using water-based adhesive to pave the pvc floor, the glue scraping area should not be too large, generally within 30 square meters, and the drying time should also be shorter than usual. Avoid affecting the bonding strength due to too fast drying speed of glue.

Suggestion:

During construction in summer, the service life of PVC floor can be greatly extended by achieving the above four points. Remember to choose a professional construction team.
