Step-by-Step Guide to Installing Vinyl Flooring
Transform your space with durable and stylish vinyl flooring. Follow this step-by-step guide for a seamless vinyl flooring installation:
1. Prepare the Surface: Sweep and mop to remove dirt and debris, then use a cleaner for thorough cleaning. Ensure the floor is completely dry to avoid adhesion issues.
2. Position the First Row: Measure and mark the starting position with spacers to maintain a 1/4-inch expansion gap. Lay the first plank along the marked line, ensuring it’s straight and properly aligned.
3. Apply the Planks: Trim off the short tongue edge of the first plank and position it 1/4 inch from the wall using spacers. Continue laying the first row, ensuring proper alignment. For subsequent rows, angle the tongue of each new plank into the groove of the previous row and press down to lock them together. Use a tapping block and non-marring hammer to secure the connection without damaging the planks.
4. Cutting Planks to Fit: Measure and mark planks that need to be cut around edges and obstacles. Use a utility knife to score and snap planks for straight cuts and a jigsaw for irregular cuts.
5. Final Adjustments and Trimming: Ensure all planks are firmly adhered, pressing down any loose areas. Trim the excess material with a utility knife for a clean finish, and remove spacers.
