If you set out to lay linoleum, then it is initially important to determine the area of the coating. To do this, you need to measure the largest width and the largest length, to which you should add 10-12 centimeters-stock. It is better to overpay for a stock than to purchase a missing piece of material.
Before laying linoleum, it is necessary to make sure that the surface is smooth, dry and thoroughly damp, does not have protruding nails, screws, etc. foreign objects that can lead to damage to the material. Linoleum can be laid on Osbi, plywood, screed.
In the cold season, linoleum after delivering it to the room is not recommended to immediately deploy. It is necessary to give him time to purchase the temperature of the room. The next step, the material must be rolled out on the floor surface and wait until it straightens up.
Next, you need to find an angle that is 90 °, and put the angle of the coating in it. Stretching over the entire surface of linoleum is carried out from this angle. In the process, it is necessary to cut the excess material, which is best done through a special knife.
It should be noted that linoleum has antibacterial, anti -allergic properties, so it is safe for the human body. Consider how to fix linoleum.
Method I – to glue
This method is rational to use in rooms whose area exceeds 25 square meters or in bars, restaurants, that is, in those rooms that have greater cross. Initially, linoleum should be decomposed, measured and cut off. Next, you need to unscrew the half of the coating and apply the glue to the base.
Glue can be applied with a wide spatula. After that, the rejected linoleum should be returned and, through a wooden bar, smooth it. Similar manipulations in the same sequence are done with the second half of the coating. It remains only to install skirting boards.
Method II – free styling
This is an easier way. It is applicable in rooms whose area is less than 25 meters of square. Initially, it is necessary to lay out the coating, measure it and cut off excess. Pruning must be carried out so that there are a distance of about 3-4 millimeters between the edges of the coating and the walls.
A rather complicated moment when laying linoleum is the combination of its joints. For this purpose, the coating lays out and is cut under the line through the same construction knife. A special double -sided tape is glued under the joints.
