Laying vinyl – a simple and quick task

They say every beginning is difficult. When laying vinyl boards that click together, this is simply not true. However, there are some technical issues to be mindful of when laying vinyl boards. To find out more about some key points, keep on reading. If you need more information, contact our experts who will be happy to help you.

Laying vinyl boards

In the first row sitting against the wall, you will have to remove the tongue on the longer side of the vinyl boards. Use a sharp knife and a ruler of an appropriate length for cutting. Start laying vinyl in the left corner of your room. Using the spacer, make sure that the boards are 3-5 mm away from the wall. Install a vinyl board by inserting the tongue into the groove of the board that has already been laid, under a 25° angle. Once you lay the vinyl board on the floor, the boards firmly latch onto one another due to the click system. Turn the last board in the row by 180° (with the pattern on the top side), place it next to the row that you have already laid, mark accordingly, and cut the excess (while taking into consideration the length of the offset from the wall). In this way, you can insert the board that you have previously cut into the row, and the first row is finished.

The second and subsequent rows

For aesthetic reasons, make sure that the front-end connections are at least 30 cm apart. Try to use the last cut-off piece of the previous row to begin a new row. To start laying the second row, tilt the vinyl board and push the side tongue into the side groove of the first slab under a 25° angle. The vinyl board will latch into place as you are lowering it. First, attach
the second board of the new row to the shorter end of the row that you have already laid. Continue tilting both boards (15-20°) and pressing them into
the side groove of the board from the first row. Continue laying your vinyl boards following the same principle.

The last row – completing your laying process

In order to lay the last row, set the board on top of the previous row, with the tongue turned against the wall and the decor face down. The vinyl board that you have already laid can be used as a ruler. Do not forget to leave a 3-5 mm gap for dilatation.
Cut the board and latch it into place. Doorjambs and heating pipes also need some space for dilatation. First, cut the board to a suitable length. Then, place the board next to its position, use a ruler and mark the surface that you need to cut. Cut off the marked part and leave the necessary intermediate distance on both sides.

The doorjamb can be undercut by turning the board upside down. Using a hand saw, cut the necessary height in order to have the board slide under the frame. Under the doorjamb, you must also account for appropriate dilatation. Once you’re done laying the vinyl, you can install finishing mouldings.

Replacing a damaged vinyl board

Always leave some spare vinyl boards if one of them unexpectedly has to be replaced. If you wish to replace a board, simply take a sharp knife, cut out the damaged board lengthwise and take it out. Then, take the spare board and cut off its tongue and groove on the longer side of the spare board. Leave the tongue and groove on the shorter side of the board. After that, simply latch it into place.

While all those operations can simply be performed by any individual, we also offer the service of professionally trained vinyl layers who will be able to perform the task pursuant to the installation instructions, thus enabling you to take overa product with full warranty which is applicable both for the vinyl and the laying service.
