PVC Flooring Installation

Preinstalling and Cutting

01


  • Regardless of the size of the construction area, the PVC flooring should be placed at the construction site for more than 24 hours. Make the temperature of the PVC flooring consistent with the indoor temperature to reduce the material deformation caused by temperature difference.
  • Use a professional edge trimmer to cut the rough edges under heavy pressure at both ends of the PVC flooring. The width of cutting on both sides should not be less than 1 cm.
  • When laying PVC flooring, overlapping cutting should be adopted at all material interfaces. Generally, the width of overlap should not be less than 3 cm.

Gluing

02


  • According to different floors, corresponding special glue and glue scraper should be adopted.

  • When laying the PVC flooring, roll up one end of the flooring first, clean the back of the PVC flooring and the floor, and then scrape the special glue on the floor. Wipe the glue evenly and not too thick.

  • The use effect of different adhesives is completely different. For details, please refer to the product manual to select special glue.

Air-outing by Rolling

03


  • After the PVC flooring is glued, firstly push the surface of the PVC flooring with a soft wood block to make it flat and press out the air.

  • Then use a 50-70kg pressing wheel or special cork block to repeatedly roll on surface of the PVC flooring, and timely repair the PVC flooring joints and warps.

  • After rolling, wipe off the excess glue on the PVC flooring surface. After 24 hours, slot and weld.

Slotting

04


  • The U-shaped tool must be used for slotting to ensure that the special welding rod can be tightly combined with the floor (electric or manual slotting tools can be used).

  • The grooving of PVC flooring after laying shall be carried out after 24 hours. Use a special groover (machine) to slot at the joint of PVC flooring. In order to weld firmly, the depth of groove should be 2/3 of the thickness of PVC flooring.

  • Before welding, dust and debris in the groove should be thoroughly removed.

Welding

05


  • Special manual welding gun or automatic welding equipment should be used for welding.

  • The temperature of welding gun should be between 350 ℃ and 400 ℃. The welding rod should be evenly squeezed into the grooved.

  • When the welding rod is half cooled, use a special crescent blade and gasket to cut 2/3 of the surface protruding from the PVC flooring. After the welding rod is completely cooled, scrape off the welding rod protruding from the PVC flooring to ensure that the surface of the PVC flooring is completely flat.

  • The temperature and speed of welding must be adjusted according to the actual situation. Before  operation, it is better to find some scraps to do some exercises and observe the reaction of the electrode, because the welding temperature, speed and operating force have a direct impact on the effect of welding.

Cleaning

06


  • The cleaning of PVC flooring should be carried out after completion or before the site is officially used. However, it must be 48 hours after the PVC flooring is laid.

  •  It is recommended to use a floor washer with red abrasive discs to clean the flooring if the surface of flooring is dirty.
