Hi, my Antelope / Nordic Dove vinyl was installed with the colour flooring company adhesive but there are small bubbles/ it's not completely smooth. I don't know if the glue was dry before laying it down and I don't know if a broom was used rather than a roller. Is there anything we can do now to fix it?
Great vid. My issue is my linoleum has not been stored well. Now that I'm prefitting it there are many lumps. How do I go about getting it flattened out when I glue it down? Any help is appreciated..
Hey Great Video !!! Thanks !! No heavy Roller of course common sense you vn apply as much pressure with the broom.. Ball the glue makers videos show you should roll the glue with a foam roller but looks like you have no probs not doing and I presume the trowel notches dont show through?
Need advice/help, which glue to use on loose edge I'm disabled and had a wetroom built aboult 4 years ago and vinyl flooring put down edges are rolled up the wall about 4 inchs then the walls are tiled from that point up In the actuall shower area have noticed about 3 inches of the flooring has come unglued from wall where it meets the tiles it's on a straight bit of wall What's the best way of regluing and what glue to use Thanks in advance for any help
@The Colour Flooring Company Hi unfortunately not, not to sure who the builders used to install the flooring It's about ae to 4 inch section that is unglued, can pull the flooring away from the wall enough to squeeze a finger in the gap. I was an electro mechanical engineer so am happy tackling most jobs, or at least talking / supervising my lad on doing what I can't do. Don't need a huge quantity as it's just a small section needs glue. But not sure which type of glue to use, also would it be advisable to preheat the pacth with say hair dryer to make the vinyl abit more plyable. Any advise would be greatly appreciated
I just had someone install vinyl sheet flooring. There appeared lots of bubbles ans he told me not to worry as the glue will contract, but he said the vinyl waa very poor quality and thin. I checked online and it said thin vinyl needs rolling but not thick....so I rolled it hard with a tube of silicone and now I think I might have f*kd it! Theres one area where there is a lot of gather and it wont stick down. Will it now ripple and not be even? Any way to get rid of the gather or do I need it pulled up and done again?
I have a question about when edges overlap in between two pieces not at the edges of the room. Do you cut at the small like one inch overlap so it looks perfectly straight at the edges. I think taking away extra is possible but not having it to take away is a problem though. Thank you very much.
When gluing the sheet vinyl to the subfloor how close should you get to the walls with the adhesive? If not would is the likelihood the vinyl will be torn or damaged
i have 30 years of flooring experience and i have never laid any sheet material in adhesive that had been left you get no transfer on the back of the material, what adhesive are you using not f. ball f44
Boston George they used the wrong glue. when you say mine. you do mean pvc vinyl right? because there's all kinds of types and each type takes a certain type of glue
Yeah this type is not ideal for a garage unless you park no car inside, I would highly recommend interlocking garage tiles (the ones most dealerships use inside there “Bay Area after purchasing a new car”)
Fuck man if your getting clean glue lines with your pace my hats off to you. I had one guy try to tell me only to glue is straight horizontal paths incase the glue lines showed through. I told him if he ever had that problem he needs to step his trowel notch down a size.
From the very start, I was waiting for you to show how you will cut the adjoining overlaps between the vinyl sheets. but you did not. If you could answer here, it will be nice. Plus. How are these long sheets better than smaller pieces of vinyl?
Hi hope this helps if you are still looking for answers get you a straight edge "yes I know what a shock" lol and place it right in the center of the over lap and cut... also if you go astray from the straight edge don't fret just as long as you don't raise your knife follow back to the straight edge and continue on the cut although uneven will blend in because both sheets were cut the same therefore wont see the uneven cut ..good luck
i messed up once and layed this floor on wet glue and i had to keep going back to pop air bubbles and reroll the floor to get rid of bubbles. i was so mad
I've been in this business for almost 50 years and have never ever used a spreader like that to spread adhesive .. That tool he's using is ridiculous but this is coming from the UK
@@jobe69 -It's OK, we have trowels with handles here in the UK too, lol. The trowel he's using is actually recommended for wood and concrete flooring (he's gluing concrete flooring in this vlog)
These videos are great, so hard to find good instructional videos that are clear concise and answer all the questions.
Your flow with the trowel and glue is mesmerizing! Great work mate, clean finish, and cheers for the solid lesson! ✊
Professional job Mate your skill is extraordinary!!!
Thanks sir i learn many thing from your video specially your brush method thanks a lots
Nice work mate. Looks so easy when you do it. Good vid.
Thank You For Your Knowledge.
Thanks for the video.
i do my folding over from east to west not north to south. but i precut seams and walls and i can slide roll it back like you do.
southwest to northeast and upsidedown to wrongway round is best i find
Excelent video man. Can you give me some tips for flooring my mobile home please.

Hi, can you please tell me what adhesive are you using also is that was going directly on concrete?
Great vid. My issue is my linoleum has not been stored well. Now that I'm prefitting it there are many lumps. How do I go about getting it flattened out when I glue it down? Any help is appreciated..
Warming it carefully with a heatgun might help....

Yes if you let the glue 'go off' properly then you won't see trowel notches
Great video. Only thing I didn't see was a 100lb roller. Very important.
You don't need a 100lb for our vinyl. Just apply pressure with a brush
@@thecolourflooringcompany968 I did notice that in your video. That you just applied some pressure. Our vinyl will bubble is not rolled.
How can I replace a part of the vinyl that has been ripped off ? What is the best way
Thanks for the video! When I walk on the vinyl while the glue is wet, my foot leaves a divot in the flooring. Any tips on that?
yes dont walk on it
Thank you!!!!
Cant u use a roller for the glue?
how many millilitres is needed per square meter ?

@The Colour Flooring Company Thanks for your help, well give them a call
And where do I find a professional floor fitter like this?
Great work but get a bigger trowel

I think this needs taking up and re sticking correctly unfortunately

raven1001100 funny enough I go into mine wet I think he’s using f44 .
If you let it dry them trowel marks grin through
its easier to lay a chalk line for glue to come up to
What if my started to come up..any advice
Boston George they used the wrong glue. when you say mine. you do mean pvc vinyl right? because there's all kinds of types and each type takes a certain type of glue
How do you fix vinyl flooring that has come up in an area?
True pro
Can I get this done for my garage? Is it the garage too “rough” for this to last?
Yeah this type is not ideal for a garage unless you park no car inside, I would highly recommend interlocking garage tiles (the ones most dealerships use inside there “Bay Area after purchasing a new car”)
What happens if you put the vinyl tile down immediately and not wait for the adhesive to tack up? Will it still dry?
It will go all lumpy and look horrible and will be a disaster. The most important thing is to let the glue go off for long enough
Fuck man if your getting clean glue lines with your pace my hats off to you. I had one guy try to tell me only to glue is straight horizontal paths incase the glue lines showed through. I told him if he ever had that problem he needs to step his trowel notch down a size.
I had vinyl sheet flooring put down. The guy used a trowel. It’s been a week and the floor is still mushy from the glue not drying. What can be done?
Hi Jennifer, what kind of glue was he using?
@@thecolourflooringcompany968 I believe it was a multipurpose flooring glue. I don’t remember.
@@tunzjnky I'm afraid we only have access to technical advice regarding our own flooring and glues. Sorry not to be more helpful
I notice that the seams are overlapped a little bit. Is that in a different video?
Further down the page here: www.colourflooring.co.uk/pages/vinyl-flooring-installation
What brand of glue are you using in this?
Joe Kaz balls f44
www.colourflooring.co.uk/products/balls-f44-adhesive
So how long do you leave the glue on before laying the vinyl over it?
Depends on the temperature of the room and how long it takes the glue to dry. It can vary a lot
What happens if you don't leave the glue to dry before starting to lay the viynl?
what type of glue you use
F44
100ld roller is the best

There is a video about this further down the page called seam sealing www.colourflooring.co.uk/pages/vinyl-flooring-installation
The flooring has a manufactured straight edge from the factory so you just butt the vinyl up to each other - no overlapping
I'll take a back rub from this guy any day! 🤣
He’d get all your air bubbles out
i messed up once and layed this floor on wet glue and i had to keep going back to pop air bubbles and reroll the floor to get rid of bubbles. i was so mad
Sir what glue are u using?
F44 acrylic adhesive
AHHHH....good tip: don't need a roller
No bubbles
Couldn’t I just use a paint roller or something quicker
Darren B nope. Glue thickness has to be consistent af
You need a roller. 75 lb at least. 100lb ideal.
You don’t with this type of vinyl
Asbestos???
I've been in this business for almost 50 years and have never ever used a spreader like that to spread adhesive .. That tool he's using is ridiculous but this is coming from the UK
What would you use?
@@benarundell41 A 12 inch blade notched trowel with a handle or a short napped adhesive roller with a 1/4 inch nap
Grow up, Joey.
@@4seeableTV Blow It Good Limey
@@jobe69 -It's OK, we have trowels with handles here in the UK too, lol. The trowel he's using is actually recommended for wood and concrete flooring (he's gluing concrete flooring in this vlog)
these are old videos right. nowadays no one glues edges
we do on commercial installations
:31 "underneaf"?
You mean by :31 that he said that on the second number firty thirst?
Haha it’s just british folk
whats up with the trough. its not the kind americans use
I would like to know too.
I am with you weird trowel
Dmitrik Guajardo probably cheaper and easier to throw out instead of cleaning it all the time lol.
I could barely listen to boring voice for 10
