How to lay sheet vinyl | Flooring & Tiling

Sometimes, it can be a bit of a challenge to lay sheet vinyl flooring in a bathroom. After all, quite a few of them have architraves and radiator pipes - and there are toilet and basin pedestals to deal with too. It's always a good idea to apply silicone sealant to the edges of your bathroom floor to create a waterproof barrier.

Top tip - Gluing vinyl

Not all vinyl has to be glued to the floor. Heavy duty 'stay flat' vinyl doesn't shrink or lift, so you can lay it without using adhesive. If you're laying cushioned vinyl, you should glue it around the edges and at joins. Thinner, non-cushioned types need to be stuck down all over. Once you've fitted your vinyl, roll half of it back and apply adhesive to the floor (using the type that's supplied or recommended by the manufacturer). Re-position the vinyl and repeat the process for the other half of your room. When it's all back in place, press the vinyl flat with a soft broom.

Step 1

To fit vinyl around your toilet or wash basin pedestal, you'll need to lay it as far as the front of the pedestal, then fold it back on itself. Use scissors to cut in from the edge in a straight line to the centre of the pedestal.
