There are three methods of installation suitable for IVC Residential sheet vinyl flooring
The installation method used is dependent upon the day-to-day activities and the overall floor dimensions.
1. Releasable Full Spread Installation Method using Pressure Sensitive Adhesive (most common)
2. Loose-Lay Installation (in areas 25 square yards or less and no more than 1 seam)
3. Permanent Full Spread Installation Method (must be used for “special needs” installations, all new construction and cold crack warranty
jobs) PLEASE NOTE that if you elect to permanently install your IVC residential flooring using this method as opposed to the Releasable
Installation Method with Pressure Sensitive Adhesive that labor rates exceeding residential releasable removal and underlayment will
not be covered.
