Need input on repairing Gouges in vinyl flooring

3 years ago

Hi All,

I am new to this forum. I need some input on how to repair small tears / gouges in a vinyl flooring. The flooring is in good condition so I don't wish to replace it, but repair it of possible.

Some DIY tips would be great ! I read online we can use Bona PU filler, but not able to buy it online. Any alternatives you can suggest please?

Thanks, Rajesh

We have Amtico in 2 bathrooms and the kitchen/diner and I can't speak of it highly enough. It has a deeper wear layer than a lot of LVT flooring, but I suspect that in a domestic setting you'd have to be practising your tap dancing nightly, for the wear layer to be affected on most reputable and well know LVT brands. A key thing if you're not fitting it yourself, is to make sure the fitter is competent and experienced in the fitting, I've seen some horrendously shoddy jobs on here. Another thing that I've gleaned from some of the posts on here, don't assume a fitter has totally understood what you want and make sure they check with you if there are decisions to be made whilst fitting, don't let them make a "managerial decision" about how it will look. YOU have to live with it, so it's well worth checking and double checking as they're going along - it's a lot easier to re-do a small bit and possibly upset them a little, rather than re-doing a whole finished floor - which would upset them a lot.

Don’t be so cheeky Jules lol! Yes I ran round there and insisted I photograph her floor! No, seriously my friend sent me loads of photos of her flooring via WhatsApp which saves photos to my photo library automatically. I helped her choose the floor as she was going to go for a weird geometric floor that makes you dizzy.....it was awful.....the herringbone one is so much nicer. This was her first choice

Would spraying or vinyl wrap be better for gloss units?
Q

Hi, I think you have probably already solved your problem by now but I thought I would give some input just in case or if other people had similar query's on interior vinyl wrapping, vinyl wrapping is viable on that surface and gloss finish provides the best adhesion out of most finishes, as for durability there are vinyls available now that we use that are specifically designed for kitchen wrapping and for high traffic areas that are very tough and hard wearing these vinyls have a 5 - 7 year manufacturer's warranty too so Vs spraying I would say that it has the upper hand, as spraying needs a lot of prep work and dust created when done to a near perfect job which wrapping does not and can be done far more efficiently. As for how much per door you'd be looking at a rough estimate of £50 per door. As mentioned earlier you have probably already found the answers to your question as this post was a while back I just thought I'd take the time to give a little insight in to kitchen wrapping. That being said if anybody else happens to stumble across this post and would like to know more or is interested in Interior please don't hesitate to contact me, my website is www.lminteriorwraps.co.uk Thanks

Insulating garage's concrete floor for electric underfloor heating
Q
Comments (0)
Hello! I have a 12m2 garage with a concrete floor that I would like to insulate and use electrical underfloor heating as it will become a home office. I'm doing it all myself but I’m not sure what is the best procedure and/or order of putting it all together. My first idea was first to repair cracks and holes with mortar, then self level it as the concrete surface is full of tiny waves/grooves, lay a damp proof membrane, lay the 50mm PIR boards on top, then electric underfloor heating mats stick to the PIR boards, self-level again and then a laminated or vinyl floor. The concerns and questions I have or were raised by talking to some people * I may not need to self level the concrete slab to take these waves/grooves imperfections, the PIR boards once layed on top of them and walked on top should absorb these. True? * 50mm PIR boards for a 12m2 garage could be overkill? * PIR board should not be in direct contact with electric underfloor heating, I guess it can be burnt/melted by the wires? It seems I would need to add a separation layer, some suggested some concrete faced insulation boards so the heat from electrical wires would spread more evenly on the surface and not damage the PIR boards underneath * Should I chipboard on top of the PIR boards (which has the wires and self level already in place) as they are weak and could get damaged easily with point pressure even with the self-level on top? * Is chipboard the best option to add a hard layer between the PIR boards and the laminated floor? * I was checking screed, but the requirement seems to be 50mm of screed on top of underfloor heating wires and that with already 50mm PIR board means a fair bit of headroom gone, plus the curing time for screed of several weeks. I was checking liquid screed with faster drying times, but I'm not sure it is worth the costs
