What Is the Vinyl Floor Installation Process?
There are two main ways to install vinyl floors: glue down and floating. Let us explain each process so you know what to expect on installation day.
Glue Down Method
The glue-down method requires applying adhesive to the subfloor. The vinyl is then attached directly to it, creating a secure and long-lasting bond. This method is commonly used when a stable and permanent installation is desired, as it prevents movement or shifting of the vinyl over time. Similarly, when installing hardwood flooring, a glue-down method can also be employed, especially on concrete subfloors, ensuring the flooring remains secure and stable. Both options offer durability and a seamless finish, ideal for spaces where longevity is key.
Preparing the Subfloor: We ensure the subfloor is clean, dry, level, and free from imperfections before installation begins.
Acclimating the Vinyl: The vinyl is allowed to adjust to room conditions for 24 hours to ensure proper fit and adhesion.
Measuring and Planning: We calculate the amount of vinyl needed and meticulously plan the layout to maximize efficiency and minimize waste.
Applying Adhesive: Our technicians evenly spread the vinyl adhesive on the subfloor, following the manufacturer's instructions for optimal results.
Laying the Vinyl: Starting with a straight reference line, the vinyl is pressed into the adhesive and carefully laid out, ensuring a smooth and even application.
Rolling and Pressing: Each piece of vinyl is rolled to eliminate air bubbles and ensure a secure bond, providing a smooth finish.
Trimming Excess: Excess vinyl is trimmed along the edges, leaving an appropriate expansion gap for natural expansion and contraction.
Allowing for Drying: We follow the adhesive drying time recommendations to ensure a durable and long-lasting installation.
Installing Baseboards: Baseboards or molding are installed to cover the expansion gap, giving the floor a finished and polished look.
Cleaning and Maintenance: We provide guidance on regular cleaning and maintenance to keep the vinyl floor looking its best, following the manufacturer's guidelines.
Floating Method
Our floating method for vinyl floor installation involves interlocking individual vinyl planks or tiles without the need for adhesive or fasteners to the subfloor. The pieces lock together seamlessly, creating a "floating" floor that rests above the subfloor. This method is particularly advantageous for waterproof and laminate flooring, as it allows for easy installation and removal, making it ideal for areas prone to moisture. Spacers along the room's perimeter ensure an expansion gap to accommodate natural movement, ensuring your flooring remains stable and durable over time.
Preparing the Subfloor: We ensure the subfloor is clean, dry, and level before installation begins.
Acclimating the Vinyl: The vinyl is allowed to adjust to room conditions for 24 hours to ensure proper fit.
Planning and Starting: Our team begins in a corner, interlocking vinyl planks row by row to ensure a precise and seamless installation.
Using Spacers: Spacers are placed along the walls to maintain an expansion gap, accommodating natural movement of the flooring.
Cutting as Needed: We measure and cut planks to fit the ends and around any obstacles for a perfect fit.
Finishing Installation: The process continues until the last row is laid, and then the spacers are removed.
Trimming the Gap: Baseboards or molding are installed to cover the expansion gap, giving the floor a polished and finished look.
Cleaning and Maintenance: We provide guidelines for regular cleaning and maintenance to keep your new vinyl floor looking its best.
