Vinyl Flooring on Wood Subfloor

Service Description

Vinyl flooring on a wood subfloor is a type of resilient flooring installation where vinyl tiles or planks are laid over a wooden subfloor. Vinyl flooring on a wood subfloor is a popular choice due to its durability, affordability, and wide range of design options. It’s suitable for various rooms in homes and commercial spaces and provides a comfortable underfoot feel. Here’s the process: 1. Preparation: Ensure the wood subfloor is clean, dry, and free of imperfections. Repair any cracks or irregularities, and make sure the subfloor is level. 2. Underlayment: In some cases, a thin underlayment may be added to provide extra cushioning and sound insulation. This step is optional but can enhance comfort and reduce noise. 3. Adhesive Application: Apply adhesive to the wood subfloor using a recommended adhesive for vinyl flooring. The adhesive type can vary based on the specific vinyl product and subfloor material. 4. Vinyl Installation: Carefully lay the vinyl tiles or planks onto the adhesive, following a predetermined pattern or layout. Use a roller or hand roller to press the vinyl firmly into the adhesive, ensuring a secure bond. 5. Seam Sealing: If you’re installing vinyl tiles with seams, seal the seams with an appropriate seam sealer to prevent moisture infiltration. 6. Trimming and Edging: Trim the edges of the vinyl flooring to fit precisely against walls and obstacles. You can use a utility knife or specialized cutting tools for this. 7. Finishing Touches: Install any transition strips or mouldings as needed to create a clean and seamless transition between the vinyl flooring and adjacent surfaces. 8. Cleaning and Maintenance: After installation, clean the vinyl flooring and follow manufacturer guidelines for routine maintenance to keep it looking its best.
