When it is necessary to glue the linoleum, then it is necessary to determine the type of glue, which will be involved in the work. It depends on its quality, whether exactly coverage will fall, whether it will keep tightly and will not harm the glue.
Adhesive compositions for PVC - Linoleum
The acquisition of glue affects the type of main material: natural or synthetic. Synthetic varieties are made of polyvinyl chloride using a variety of additives. They are cheaper than natural and that these options will serve longer, you should choose adhesive of good quality.
There are two ways of gluing: infecting glue to everything canvas or only on the edges of the linoleum. Depending on this, manufacturers offer a special composition suitable for each specific case. For those who do not want to select special mixtures, there are universal options.
To glue a PVC type coating, choose such a glue:
- On a water-dispersive basis to be applied to the base.
- Contact that is not important type of foundation. It is smeared on both surfaces.
A feature of the latter option is that it does not dry after applying.
- The procedure for using the contact adhesive mass is as follows: It is necessary to cover the sheets with adhesive mass, then wait a few minutes and only after that connect them, carefully pressing each other. Such gluing provides persistent result and linoleum keeps tightly long time.
- Before starting the process, it should be familiar with the flow of glue, it is indicated on the package. Excessive application can spoil the surface, and the disadvantage will cause the linoleum to stick badly.
- So that the coating gently lightened and there is no gaps, you can use a special roller.
Principles of Choose Children for Natural Linoleum
If the choice fell on natural materials, it is important to know that this kind of linoleum requires hard clutch.
- The glue should be strong so that in the event of a water gust, it is not spoiled. There are special adhesive compositions that are designed for this.
- The mass is applied to the joints, and not distributed throughout the canvase. So should be done so that the grip is stronger.
- It is important to know that glue for synthetic materials is not suitable for natural flooring. If you do not adhere to the rules, then the appearance can be spoiled, as well as practical characteristics.
Nuances of choosing glue to work with joints
The place of the junction of two cloth of linoleum is a problem space. Most often on this site, the material is moving away from the base, blowing or shaking. It is important to choose such a glue so that it can fasten the edges. This will give not only aesthetic perfection, but also make movement on the floor safe.
The adhesive means in this case will be hot welding. Such a process passes according to the algorithm:
- Linoleum sheets are pre-lubricated with glue depending on the type of material.
- They are glued to the base.
- Hot welding apparatus is taken, it is heated to 400 degrees.
- In place of the joint, the grooves for the cord are cut through, which is inserted into the welding tool.
- High temperature makes the cord melts and thereby connects the joints.
- Cutting the excess until the seam is cooled.
- After its cooling, the connection area is polished.
You can choose a contrast cord with a linoleum of color. It will become a unique feature of the room.
Cold welding
If the coating is more supplied, it can be glued with cold welding. It does not require special skills. You need to purchase glue for this procedure, which happens two types.
The first option involves working with a new coating. It is more liquid, so the scotch is also used together with it. The procedure involving such adhesive mass is:
- First, the joints glue with scotch.
- After seams, glue is gently cut and poured there.
- It is necessary to wait 10 minutes, after which the tape breaks down with excess glue residues.
The second variety of such glue is prefixed for the restoration of old materials that were subjected to wear.
