Bed linoleum in an apartment is very simple. It is not so difficult as it may seem at first glance. The most important thing is the understanding of the styling technology and its strict observance. We assure that linoleum beds in several rooms, you can easily offer your advice and practical help to friends and family. So, where do we start? Once you have the idea to lay linoleum in an apartment with your own hands you need to immediately inquire about the correct choice of material so as not to become a victim of circumstances. Hence, when choosing it is necessary to take into account the type of coverage. To do this, you need to look at the marking, it consists of two digits from 1 to 4. Which, respectively, mean the degree of load on the passability (from smaller to larger) of the premises and types of premises for which this linoleum is suitable: rooms with minimum traffic, offices, industrial premises. In addition, pay attention to the quality of the surface of linoleum, study it for the presence of cracks and blisters.
Preparation for laying
Before laying linoleum in the room, you need to clear the floor, which is supposed to be covered with dust and debris. It goes without saying that from the room you need to take out absolutely all the furniture. In addition, it is necessary that the floor was absolutely smooth and dry. If you have a problem with this, as an option, to achieve an even level, you can use special sheets of chipboard. They need to be put tightly to each other, without creating gaps and securely fastened with nails.
We make linoleum and adjust the dimensions
We proceed to the main work. Let's lay the linoleum on the floor, rolling the roll like a carpet. We will need to fit the canvas to the dimensions of the room and cut off the extra pieces.
You can do this with a special curved knife or the usual clerical.
Here you need to emphasize that you should not rush to cut off, as you might first think, an "unnecessary" piece. Sometimes there are situations when it seems to be cut off, but a big crevice is obtained, which even the plinth does not hide. Therefore, it is better to insure yourself. Here we have removed all unnecessary, and we have a very small gap between the wall and linoleum.
This is absolutely normal, considering that when the temperature changes, the materials have the property of expanding and narrowing. In addition, we will also install a plinth that will hide these moments. If you will be laying linoleum in the kitchen, you will inevitably encounter communication pipes as obstacles. Due to the fact that our material used for flooring is very easily cut, we easily solve this problem.
So we laid the linoleum in a room that, in particular, would be used as a kitchen. The next stage will be the installation of plinth. However, this should not be done immediately. The linoleum should lie around, straighten and stretch out. The fact is that he was always rolled up and subjected to natural deformation. If you immediately begin to mount the plinth , then the next day you can expect a terrible trouble in the form of blisters or stretch marks.
