Laying SPC vinyl flooring is a delicate operation. Here are some detailed steps to guide you on how to lay this flooring correctly:
Preparation: Before you start laying, make sure the floor is flat, clean, dust-free and oil-free. If there are any uneven places, you need to sand or fill them first to ensure the flatness of the floor. In addition, check the humidity of the floor and make sure it is dry before laying, because too high humidity will affect the installation effect of the floor.
Measurement and planning: Measure the size of the room and determine the direction of laying the floor. It is usually recommended to lay the floor parallel to the long side of the room, which can make the room look more spacious. Based on the measurement results, calculate the amount of flooring material required and reserve an appropriate amount of loss.
Laying the floor mat: Lay a layer of special floor mat on the ground, which can play a role in moisture-proofing, sound insulation and increasing foot comfort. Make sure the floor mat is laid flat and the seams are tightly fitted to avoid wrinkles or gaps.
Install the floor: Starting from one corner of the room, align the locks of the SPC vinyl floor and lay it piece by piece. During the laying process, pay attention to keep the joints of the floor tight and avoid obvious gaps. If you encounter a floor that needs to be cut, use a special cutting tool for precise cutting to ensure the beauty of the joints.
Edge treatment: At the edge of the room, the floor may need to be cut to fit the corners or other obstacles. Use appropriate cutting tools to ensure that the cutting edges are neat and smooth to avoid sharp edges that scratch people or damage the floor.
Finish laying: After laying all the floors, check whether the joints are tight and whether the overall effect is satisfactory. If necessary, use beading or other decorative strips for edge treatment to enhance the beauty and overall effect.
Cleaning and maintenance: After laying, clean thoroughly to ensure that the floor surface is dust-free and stain-free. In daily use, clean the floor regularly and avoid scratching the floor surface with sharp objects to maintain the beauty and service life of the floor.
By following the above steps, you can successfully complete the installation of SPC vinyl flooring and enjoy its beauty, durability and comfort.
