What should I bear in mind when installing vinyl flooring in the kitchen?
When installing vinyl flooring in the kitchen, it should be noted that the floor must "float". In practice, this means that the flooring must be laid around fixed fixtures - such as a fitted kitchen. This ensures that the floor does not curl. To do this, simply lay the flooring close to the feet of the fitted kitchen.
The planeo floors tolerate joint widths of up to 5 mm for tile joints. For thicker joints, you will need to level the joint.The first row of the flooring is pushed against the wall. After laying further rows, a gap of 5 mm to the wall must be left.
