Loose lay vinyl flooring is easily installed and repairable

Vinyl flooring is a popular hard surface floor option that used to require clicking together to install. However, this method posed a significant disadvantage in that if one tile was damaged, it meant the removal of the entire surrounding area just to replace that single tile.

Fortunately, with loose lay vinyl tiles now available on the market, this hassle has been entirely eliminated. These tiles come equipped with built-in adhesive or can be applied with adhesive to keep them firmly in place. The best kind of adhesive is pressure sensitive as it firmly holds each tile in place. In case a damaged tile needs replacing, it is straightforward to lift it up. If it cannot be lifted easily due to its strong grip on the floor, apply heat to soften the adhesive.

Vinyl flooring in Chester and North Wales has become increasingly popular amongst both residential and commercial property owners due to its great durability coupled with easy maintenance requirements, while also being available in various colours and patterns.

This type of flooring does not need an underlay. If the subfloor is uneven screed, a cement-like substance will make it even before installing vinyl planks or tiles. Damp subfloors may require additional waterproofing measures such as a damp proof membrane.

It's highly recommended that professional installers handle laying down these types of floors because they have expertise in preparing subfloors beforehand, while also ensuring every vinyl plank or tile fits seamlessly into place for a strong, low-maintenance floor.
