There are three methods of installation suitable for Mohawk Residential sheet vinyl ooring
1. Releasable Full Spread Installation Method using Pressure Sensitive Adhesive (recommended)
2. Loose-Lay Installation (in areas 25 square yards or less and no more than 1 seam)
3. Permanent Full Spread Installation Method (for “special needs” installations)
General Installation Method
The installation method used is dependent upon the day-to-day activities and the overall oor dimensions.
• The Releasable Full Spread Installation Method provides optimal performance of the vinyl and is the recommended installation process for
all residential Mohawk berglass sheet vinyl products.
• Loose-Lay Installation should only be used when the ooring area is 25 square yards or less and no more than 1 seam.
• Permanent Full Spread Installation Method can be used for special need areas, such as those with rolling trafc and/or extremely high trafc.
PLEASE NOTE that if you elect to permanently install your Mohawk residential ooring using this method as opposed to the recommended
Releasable Installation Method that labor rates exceeding residential releasable removal and underlayment will not be covered.
Please contact Mohawk Technical Services at 888-387-9881 opt. 3 with any questions.
