Mohawk Residential Installation Guide - Sheet Vinyl Flooring
There are three methods of installation suitable for Mohawk Residential sheet vinyl ooring:
The installation method used is dependent upon the day-to-day activities and the overall oor dimensions.
1. Releasable Full Spread Installation Method using Pressure Sensitive Adhesive (most common)
2. Loose-Lay Installation (in areas 25 square yards or less and no more than 1 seam)
3. Permanent Full Spread Installation Method (must be used for “special needs” installations, all new construction
and cold crack warranty jobs) PLEASE NOTE that if you elect to permanently install your Mohawk residential
ooring using this method as opposed to the Releasable Installation Method with Pressure Sensitive Adhesive
that labor rates exceeding residential releasable removal and underlayment will not be covered.
Please contact Mohawk Technical Services at 888-225-8287 with any questions.
