IVC US Residential Installation Guide – Sheet Vinyl Flooring

IVC US Residential Installation Guide - Sheet Vinyl Flooring

There are three methods of installation suitable for IVC US residential vinyl ooring:

1. Releasable Full Spread Installation Method using Pressure Sensitive Adhesive

(Recommended)

2. Loose-Lay Installation (in areas 25 square yards or less and no more than 1 seam)

3. Permanent Full Spread Installation Method (for “special needs” installations)

General Installation Information

The installation method used is dependent upon the day-to-day activities and the overall

oor dimensions.

- The Releasable Full Spread Installation Method provides optimal performance

of the vinyl and is the recommended installation process for all residential IVC

berglass sheet vinyl products.

- The Loose-Lay installation Method should only be used when the ooring area

is 25 square yards or less and no more than 1 seam.

- The Permanent Full Spread Installation Method can be used for special needs

areas, such as those with rolling tra󰮐c and/or extremely high tra󰮐c. However,

PLEASE NOTE that if you elect to permanently install your IVC residential ooring

using this method as opposed to the recommended Releasable Installation

Method that labor rates exceeding residential releasable removal and underlay-

ment will not be covered.

Please contact IVC US Technical Services at 888-225-8287 with any questions.
