Installing Vinyl Flooring Video

Bob and Jim Kogut talk about the custom inlays that are being inserted into the new vinyl flooring. Ed Janecek tapes down a sheet of white vinyl flooring and double cuts the piece through the already installed vinyl according to predetermined chalk lines. By keeping the straight edge over the piece that is going into the floor he avoids cutting into the piece and marring the product. Next he takes the tape off and removes the scraps and then removes the insert that he has cut into the floor. He cuts off some of the backing underneath as well ensuring a flush fit. Then Janecek spreads a latex adhesive product on the square. He sets the square piece in the corner and presses it out from there. Once the piece is in place Janecek uses a roller to flatten any bumps in the adhesive and to make sure the piece is secure. He uses a seam roller to tighten the seam and then a seam sealer with a solvent that fuses the two pieces together.
