Residential Installation Guide –
Sheet Vinyl Flooring
• 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 ooring is laying at before trimming off the excess material. Apply 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 caulk around the walls.
• Make sure furniture legs have large surface, non-staining plastic oor protectors or non-staining felt pads. The
protectors should be at least one inch in diameter and rest at on the oor. The heavier the item, the wider the
oor protector should be. Replace small, narrow metal or dome-shaped glides with smooth, at glides that are
in at contact with the oor.
• Never tape around the perimeter of the room.
• Never apply Mohawk ooring to a wet adhesive (if adhesive is needed for certain areas of the Loose-Lay). This
could cause permanent bond or wrinkling and possibly void the warranty.
