Vinyl flooring problem
Posted: Wed Jun 17, 2009 4:17 pm
Here I am again.... its been a while, tho.
Last Summer we had Armstrong Sheet vinyl put down on the floor. It is the kind that "floats", its not glued down. It was all good until in the winter when we were running heat, the floor seemed to "expand" and caused waves and bubbles. I was about to tear the whole thing out, except that would have caused a divorce after the cost..... anyway we put up with it, then when spring came and the A/C was on the floor went back to the way it was when it was first put down. it looks good-the way its supposed to.
So, is there something I can do to it to keep it from going nuts on me again this winter????
It is taped down on the edges of the rooms with the special double stick tape. The kitchen flooring was installed and then the cabinets installed over it. The bathrooms dont act as badly, that vinyl was installed after the new cabs.
the dining room is a mess.... especially where the carpet in the living room meets the vinyl and the metal strip thing is.
Have any of you people out there in "Mobile Home Land" used this kind of flooring and had/solved these kinds of problems?
I contacted Armstrong and they said its caused by improper installation..... ok, so now what do I do? they were no help.
thanks in advance... I feel the good "vibes" coming my way already.
