If you decide to replace the flooring in the room, then you need to prepare the surface for this. For linoleum, the base should be as even as possible. However, even after laying it, it is necessary to carry out some work that will give the coating a complete look. For example, it will be useful for you to know how to glue linoleum correctly, what methods (and tools) are used for this.
It should be noted that this method of joining the edges of the material is used both during its installation and during repair. Before gluing linoleum, it is necessary to determine the ways of performing this action. So, to connect the pieces, hot and
cold welding is used, as well as glue and
double-sided tape.Before gluing linoleum with hot welding, keep in mind that you should have little experience working with special equipment, or at least be able to understand the principles of its operation. Also try to practice on an unnecessary piece of material. The fact is that gluing is carried out under the influence of a very high temperature, therefore, certain safety rules must be strictly observed. Also, try not to burn the material. The disadvantage of this method is the high cost of the work, because most often a specialist is invited to perform the procedure.
If you do not know how to glue linoleum correctly, try using cold welding. It is presented in the form of a
two-component adhesive, on a tube with which the entire instruction for use is written. It is safer than the previous version. However, here it is necessary to observe caution and accuracy in the work. The advantage of such a tool is its low cost, ease of operation, and the lack of the need to purchase special tools. You only need a roller to cut the material and
masking tape to protect the coating. In addition, you can carry out this procedure yourself, and it will not take much time. The main thing is to choose a cold welding that will match the type of flooring you have.
Before gluing linoleum, consult the seller in the store or a specialist installer. Now there are other means for fastening the edges of the material. For example, metal plates. They are laid on the seam and screwed on. However, in this case, linoleum is damaged, and such a design is not always appropriate in the interior.
If you do not know how to glue the linoleum seam quickly, try double-sided tape. However, this requires the base to be very clean and dry so that the strip can adhere well. Please note that such a connection of the material is short-term, since with the active use of the coating the adhesive tape quickly loses its properties. In addition, this method is minimally reliable and leads to the ingress of dirt under the linoleum.
The most effective method is still welding. So your seam on the floor will be almost invisible. Naturally, for this you need to fold the picture correctly.
