Permanent Full Spread Installation Steps
Step 1
Align the pattern with the most dominant wall, and using a sharp utility knife trim away excess material along the walls,cabinet and other
permanent objects, leaving approximately 2" of material to be trimmed off later.
Step 2
Make relief cuts at corners to allow the material to lay at before the nal cuts are made. Final trimming does not require a 1/8" to 1/4" expansion
gap when using IVC FLEX-TECH Ultra or Mohawk V-One Permanent Adhesive for Sheet Vinyl as this is a permanent installation.
Step 3
Fold back half of the material and apply IVC FLEX-TECH Ultra or Mohawk V-One Adhesive for Sheet Vinyl to the substrate using the appropriate
trowel. If a seam is required, leave an 18" dry zone at the edge of the seam. Then follow the Seaming
Instructions in a Permanent Full Spread Installation found below.
Step 4
Do not immediately place the material into wet adhesive. To avoid bubbling, allow time for the adhesive to ash before positioning the material.
There will be a slight transfer of adhesive to the skin when it’s ready for installation. Do not allow the adhesive to dry completely.
Step 5
Slide the material in place and remove air and vapors under the material using a 100 lb. roller over the entire adhered vinyl.
Step 6
Repeat steps 3 – 5 for the remaining half of the ooring material.
Seaming Instructions in a Permanent Full Spread Residential Installation
1. After positioning the ooring, over-lap the seam edges (Make sure to match patterns).
2. Place a 4"–5" wide scrap of the vinyl between the two layers of vinyl, under the seam area.
3. Double cut through the all layers of vinyl, creating a compression t when the seam edges are joined.
4. Fold back both sides of the seam area and apply the IVC FLEX-TECH Ultra or Mohawk V-One Adhesive for Sheet Vinyl to the dry zone.
Allow the adhesive to ash before placing the material into the adhesive.
5. Place one side of vinyl into the adhesive and roll the seam using a 100 lb. roller.
6. Apply small bead of IVC FLEX-SEAM Premium Seam Bond or Infuze Seam Sealer along the edge of the installed vinyl.
7. Place the edge of the uninstalled vinyl against the edge of the installed vinyl and press into place.
8. Remove excess bond/sealer using a plastic putty knife followed by wiping the seam area using a clean dry cloth followed immediately with a
clean cloth dampened with appropriate cleaner.
9. Using a clean cloth, repeat until all residue is removed from the surface of the vinyl and protect the seam for six hours minimum.
