IVC US Residential Installation Guide – Sheet Vinyl Flooring

Additional Instructions/Notes:

• Always inspect the ooring thoroughly before installation.

• DO NOT slide heavy appliances or furniture over or across the ooring. Always lift objects

and place them on a hard board between the ooring 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 ooring is laying at before

trimming o󰮏 the excess material. Apply permanent exible 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 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.
