General requirements for the flooring of linoleum on the wooden floor
Usually it is difficult to hide linoleum floor surface irregularities, so before you start work, make sure that the floor was smooth, dry and clean.
To laying was quality, the linoleum linen should stay in the room where the laying is planned, at least 2 days in the cold season, at least a day - in the warm. This is necessary to adapt the material to this temperature regime.
To lay linoleum on a wooden floor is simple. In addition to the floor covering, you will need a cutting knife, ruler, tape measure, pencil, spatula for glue application, clamp, linoleum adhesive and cold welding adhesive for joints, double-sided and paint tape.
Basic steps for laying linoleum
- Installation begins with the measurement of the room on its largest sides, taking into account the doorways. Add to the indicators of 8-10 cm for the curvature of the walls and pruning.
- Measured on a ruler, cut off the desired piece of cloth.
- We put the material on a level with the wall or with a small gap.
Cloth must be fixed so that when cutting, there are no displacements and "walking". This will help two-sided adhesive tape.
- It is very important to select the correct pattern in the joint area. To do this, roll the roll from the overlap with the overlap and correct the location of the sheet.
- When the preparatory work is finished, cut the wall and the corners. In the corners, you need to make a small incision, wrap one side and remove all unnecessary.
- With a pencil, mark the joint on the base, apply glue to the floor. We lay linoleum on a wooden floor. For full fixation, use a clamp to secure the sheet.
- The most difficult thing is to make out the joint. At the seam, a paint tape is attached, a cut is made, after which "cold welding" with a needle is taken, inserted into the cut. Walk through this glue on the seam. This is necessary for its sealing. Then the masking tape is removed.)
Laying of linoleum was successful, install skirting boards around the perimeter and docking profile if necessary.
