One of the benefits associated with modern vinyl flooring is that the installation process is rather straightforward. However, there are still times when a bit of forethought is required in order to avoid making mistakes.
One example involves taking into account any corners that may be present. How can you ensure that the installation process moves forward without any snags? Let us examine some top-level recommendations.
Initial Steps
It is first wise to measure the
vinyl floor tiles or sheet associated with the corner so that a slight surplus (a few centimetres) is included. This will enable you to quickly trim away the excess once the material has been put in place. In order to make the vinyl slightly easier to work with, you may also choose to warm it with a standard heat gun.
Cutting the Vinyl
You will next cut the material with a utility knife. This cut should begin at the base of the vinyl where you believe it will meet the corner and extend outwards. Please note that the cut must also be made so that it aligns with the corner of the vinyl sheet itself (this helps to avoid a lopsided appearance).
Folding and Trimming
The final step involves folding one side of the cut
sheet vinyl flooring into the corresponding side of the corner. You can then trim off any excess that remains with your utility knife. Perform this process for the other side as well. Once the flooring is properly aligned with the corner and assuming that no gaps are present, you can then utilise a quality adhesive in order to permanently glue the flooring into place.
