How to lay linoleum

No special devices will be needed, but you can cope even without an assistant.

1. Stell your tools and materials

When laying linoleum, you will have to measure something, mark and cut. In certain cases, the coating will also need to be glued. Before proceed,

2. Prepare the base

Since linoleum is quite elastic material and repeats all the irregularities of the floor, approach the preparation of the base with particular thoroughness. Negality will not only turn into an unaesthetic look, but also accelerate the wear of the coating.

The surface for laying linoleum should be clean, dry and even. Proceeds are allowed in height of not more than 2-3 mm per 1 meter. Otherwise, the base must first be leveled.

How to prepare a wooden floor

• Check the floor or a board for the absence of deflection and creaks. If necessary, additionally strengthen the coating with screws and replace bad areas.
• Make sure that the buildings of the base do not go beyond the permissible limit. If this is not the case, align the floor with a cycle or lay a layer of plywood or CSP on top (cement-stove).

How to prepare a concrete floor

• Clean the surface of the old coating and remove all the garbage.
• Make sure the changes in height are permissible. If necessary, level irregularities with grinding and bulk floor. Small cavities and damaged areas can be sealed with tile glue.

3. Prepare linoleum

Bought a roll in the room. Expand and leave on the floor for about a day so that the material is leveled off.

In the cold season, the acquired linoleum cannot be rolled out immediately. The frozen coating becomes fragile and can break on the bends. To avoid this, let the material lay down for about 12 hours and warm up to room temperature.

4. Choose a styling method

Laying with fixation on bilateral tape is one of the most common options / KSV.Org.ru

Depending on the area of the room, linoleum creeps without any fastener to the floor or is fixed using bilateral tape or special glue. Each option has its advantages and disadvantages.

• Without fixation – the easiest method. Suitable for rooms up to 12 m² with low patency. Of the minuses – the risk of the formation of waves and folds.
• On bilateral tape – a quick and reliable way of fastening. Used in rooms from 12 to 20 m² with medium perpetability. Reduces the likelihood of waves, allows you to easily remove the old linoleum.
• On glue – the most time -consuming, but also the most reliable option. It is used in large rooms from 20 m² with high cross. Among the shortcomings are only the difficulty of dismantling.

At home, as a rule, linoleum is used without fixation, when it lasts only due to skirting boards around the perimeter, or a method with an attach to bilateral tape. Less commonly used special adhesives.

5. Lay linoleum

• Spread the coating on the floor and distribute in such a way that one of the corners of the room is leveled, and leave a supply of 5-10 cm along the perimeter along the other walls. It is better to lay out on the longest wall, so you have to cut less.
• Consider the allowances for the niches by the windows and doorways. Measure linoleum from them, not from the edges of the walls.
• If you have a pattern, align the material so that the pattern is located along the walls without distortions.

6. Cut linoleum

Remoo.ru

Clean the size of the canvas with a sharp clerical knife or large scissors so that the gap of 5-10 mm remains around the walls of the perimeter. It will allow linoleum to deal and at the same time will hide with the plinth.

In order not to make a mistake, make a fit in several visits, separating the material in small stripes. For a more accurate cutting, mark and cut the canvas on cells and lines on the back.

How to make an inner angle

• Fold the canvas by making a linoleum fold, and cut it first at one, and then at the second wall. Separate a little and repeat the procedure until you get the right gap.
• If the allowances are large, then cut the canvas in the corner a little to fold the free ends and get a more even fold.

How to make an external angle

• Straighten linoleum by wrapping a free piece on the wall. Step on the lower part with your foot, pressing the material to the wall as much as possible, and make a mark on the edge of the canvas opposite the protruding part of the corner.
• Fold the coating, bring the fold as close to the edge of the angle at the floor level and mark with a pencil.
• Connect both tags by drawing a line between them and cut the linoleum on it.
• Turn the formed shreds on both sides in turn and make marks along the walls to get lines of cuts.

How to make a adjustment to the pipes

• Attach the canvas to the pipe. Make a stroke with a pencil on the back to mark the cut line, or immediately cut the linoleum vertically with a knife.
• Press the cut pieces to the pipe and gradually cut 5-10 mm along the contour until you get the hole of the desired diameter.
• Up the canvas if necessary and use scissors for more accurate fitting.

How to make a junction to the door box

• Wrap the free part of the canvas on the wall and press it with your foot in the plinth area.
• Make marks from the inside to get the cut line or immediately cut the linoleum with a knife from the edge of the canvas to the floor.
• Lower the separated flap towards the door and cut the second part along the wall.
• Do not try to cut the canvas in one entry. Leave small allowances and gradually adjust the coating along the contour of the wall to achieve a gap of 5-10 mm.

7. Paise

After the final trim, it is necessary to wait a couple of days so that the folds and waves deal. Just let linoleum lay down on the floor before fixing it in any way.

8. Fasten linoleum

If you put the coating without additional fixation, proceed to the next step.

How to fix linoleum with double -sided tape

• Wrap one half of the canvas to the middle of the room and sprinkle the floor.
• Stick stripes of bilateral tape with a step of 70–100 cm. Deburate the tape with your hands or painter roller.
• Remove the protective film from the upper part.
• Gently spread linoleum, returning it to the place.
• Repeat the procedure for the second half of the canvas.

How to fix linoleum glue

• Wrap part of the material and fold in half.
• Degrease the floor and apply the glue appropriate to the surface of the surface.
• Straighten the canvas and align it. Roll up linoleum well to remove all possible folds.

9. Boil the seams

If you put a whole piece of linoleum, proceed to the next step.

When the canvas consists of several pieces, they need to be interconnected. This is done by a special soldering iron or with glue. The second option is simpler and does not require additional equipment, so consider it.

• To get a perfectly even joint, put one piece of linoleum on the second with an overlap 3-5 cm.
• Press the rule or metal ruler in the middle and simultaneously cut both pieces with a sharp knife in one entry.
• Remove the separated flaps and stick a bilateral tape on the floor exactly in the middle of the seam. Remove the protective film and connect the ends of the paintings, fixing them.
• Stick over the junction over the junction, and then carefully cut it out with a sharp knife.
• Insert a nose of a tube with glue into a seam and draw along the joint. With one hand, hold the tube with one hand, and press the second on it in such a way that a strip of glue about 5 mm wide is formed on the tape.
• Wait 10 minutes until the glue is hardened and carefully remove the painting tape.

10. Mount the rapids

They are needed to fix the edge of linoleum at the doorway. There are various thresholds, and in addition to the appearance, they differ only in the type of attachment. Some hold on through dowels, others – on hidden. There are thresholds with a special embedded, which is fixed by the latch, as well as completely self -adhesive options.

The nuances of the installation of a particular type of thresholds are always indicated on the package. In general, the procedure is this:

• Measure the required threshold length and cut off the excess part.
• Evenly distribute the fasteners over the entire width of the opening.
• Drill the holes with a perforator or drill according to the marks.
• Fasten the threshold – through, inserting the screws into the groove or through the mortgage.
• If the fasteners are not through, tap the threshold through a soft inspection until it completely sits in its place.

11. Install skirting boards

The last stroke – skirting boards. They also come in various variations: plastic, from MDF or wooden. The most common PVC clints with cable channel inside. This finish is practical, available and looks good.

Installation of all skirting boards is carried out in approximately this:

• Measure all parts of the wall and cut the necessary pieces of skirting boards.
• Drill holes in the wall directly through the baseboard at a distance of 50-60 cm with a perforator or drill. If fasteners are used, install them in a similar way.
• Put the cables and put on the corners.
• If the length is large, the stripes with special connecting inserts.
• Install plugs if they are provided by the design.
