You can easily transform your entire room by installing new vinyl flooring. Vinyl not only wears well and resists water, it also cushions the feet more than tile, hardwood, or laminate. Installing a sheet-vinyl floor is a manageable do-it-yourself project. The key to success is in the preparation.

Preparing the Room  Remove the furniture, appliances Take the doors from their hinges.
Any floor covering is as smooth as the floor under neigh.
Concrete — Sheet vinyl can be installed over concrete if the surface of the concrete is clean, smooth and dry. Repair any holes or cracks. Any minor bumps can be removed with a masonry chisel and hammer. (Be sure to wear safety glasses.)
Vinyl flooring — Sheet vinyl can be laid over old linoleum or vinyl flooring if the existing floor is in good condition. If the old floor has a rough texture or some indentations, LATEX FLOOR. Applied with a straight edge trowel, the latex screed will create a smooth surface to support the new floor.
Wood ffloors requiring underlayment — cover it with a layer of plywood.
Unless otherwise directed, 3.5mm plywood makes a good underlayment. Make sure any plywood used is
high grade. If a new plywood underlayment is used, remember that the floor level will be raised.
Doorframes will have to be cut at the bottom to accommodate the new thickness, and thresholds will require replacing.
If the new floor is in a kitchen, some cabinets may have to be raised to accommodate the raised level appliances.
A clean garage floor is a good place to cut vinyl flooring to basic shape of the area to be fitted.
Position your cut vinyl in the room allowing the edges to curl up against the wall. Remember to allow three inches on each side for trimming. Trim around outside corners or other protruding objects by making a vertical slice down the sheet. Cut the vinyl from the top down to where it touches the floor.
To fit inside corners, cut the vinyl in v-shaped cuts where it overlaps. Work your way down carefully making
several v-cuts until the vinyl rests flat.
Along the walls, press or fold to crease the vinyl where the wall meets the floor.
After making the crease, use a hook knife to cut the flooring. The floor will expand, so do not cut tight.
Use the same principle for the kick boards or take the off .
If your new floor requires a seam best to do this first and work away from the join, if you are applying over an old floor, avoid having the new floor seam over the old floor seam. Try to offset the new seam at least six inches from the old one. If you want to seal the edges after installation better to use decorators chalk around skirting boards as this can be painted. ( Silicon cannot be painted. )
