What do you need to install a Floorify vinyl floor?
You don't need much to install your Floorify vinyl floor. There are some useful tools that will make it easier to lay the floor:
A sharp Stanley knife, saw or laminate cutter will make it easier to cut the floor. If you use a sawblade, make sure that is suitable for trespa or metal. Wood saws also work well but wear faster. Always have the decorative side of the floor facing upwards.
Use a rubber hammer, tapping block or (hammer) pull bar to get the floor panels to fit neatly together. Never hit the click connection directly, but use a tapping block or rest to click the connection together.
Use spacer blocks to keep the expansion joint clear. They will ensure that the floor doesn’t slide when you knock it.
Corners and edges can be sawn easily with a tilted saw with trespa or metal blade. You can also cut with a Stanley knife and break off with pliers. Always have the decorative side of the floor facing downwards.
You don’t need a lot to install your Floorify vinyl floor.
And what about gluedown floors?
Installing a Floorify gluedown floor requires more experience, precision, and equipment. That’s why we recommend having it installed by an experienced professional.
However, if you choose to do it yourself, make sure you have the following materials and tools on hand:
Primer: to prepare the subfloor and optimise adhesion.
Levelling compound (screed): to create a perfectly smooth and even subfloor, which is essential for a flawless result.
Specific adhesive for PVC gluedown floors: follow the technical guidelines provided by the manufacturer.
A suitable notched trowel or spatula: to evenly distribute the adhesive.
A floor roller or heavy roller: to press the floor firmly and eliminate air bubbles.
