IVC US Residential Installation Guide –
Sheet Vinyl Flooring
Additional Instructions/Notes:
•
Always inspect the flooring thoroughly before installation.
•
DO NOT slide heavy appliances or furniture over or across the flooring. Always lift objects and place them on a hard
board between the flooring and object and gently reposition them.
•
Use caulk next to bathtubs, showers, sliding doors, patio doors, around metal door jambs or similar areas.
•
For bathroom installations, it is not necessary to remove the toilet. Make relief cuts around the perimeter of the toilet
and make sure the vinyl flooring is laying flat before trimming off the excess material. Apply permanent flexible caulk
around the toilet, next to the bathtubs and showers to prevent moisture from getting under the vinyl. Note: if there is a
ceramic sanitary cove and no place to install trim mold, you can apply silicone caulk around the walls.
•
Make sure furniture legs have large surface, non-staining plastic floor protectors or non-staining felt pads. The
protectors should be at least one inch in diameter and rest flat on the floor. The heavier the item, the wider the floor
protector should be. Replace small, narrow metal or dome-shaped glides with smooth, flat glides that are in flat contact
with the floor.
•
Never tape around the perimeter of the room.
