Are you on the lookout for an easy, inexpensive, and faster way to restore your flooring? Then the perfect choice for you are PVC tiles. PVC tiles, which are water-resistant and have a very low and soft profile, come in different sizes and patterns. They are not easy to break and are extremely easy to fix. These tiles can spruce up anywhere from the living room to kitchen to bathroom and even on wet areas.
We will discuss here the step-by-step procedure of installing PVC floor tiles. It requires only a couple of days to install the PVC tiles with the right tools and basic know-how. Above all it depends on the size of the room as well.
Before the installation of PVC floor tiles, it’s always recommended to purchase some extra tiles in order to cater for the waste during cuttings.
It’s important to get the following tools ready before starting the installation.
If the room is equipped with floor heating, ensure the floor heating will not increase the temperature of PVC to above 30 degrees.
Before you begin with the installation of PVC floor tiles, make sure the base is neat, clean, even strong and dry. It’s never mandatory that you need to take out the old floor cover before installing the PVC floor tiles. If the old floor is strong and even, you can directly begin with the installation process meaning the old floors can be excellent bases.
Since PVC sheets are very thin, uneven spots can be easily noticed. Hence fixing the floor base if required is important. As part of fixing the floor, any cracks or hollow spots should be filled using a filling mixture and the areas that are protruded should be cut off. In case of having uneven floors, it can be covered using plywood sheets.
Plywood sheets are laid with screws and later coated with base paint to prevent the plywood from absorbing any glue. Usage of nails have to be avoided as there are chances of it coming out while the floor moves. A minimum gap of 10mm between the base floor and wall have to be maintained. This eliminates the chances of base floor curving upwards when there is any change in moisture.
Removing old PVC flooring is pretty simple. One option is to lay an old Vinyl cover on the floor. In the case of glued flooring, simply make random cuts and take it off. Then you can remove the glue using a scraper or hot air gun.
Why PVC tiles are preferred by the majority is its ease in installing and at the same time it requires less maintenance.
