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 underlayment will not

be covered.

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