Those who are still learning need the flexibility that wetting solutions can offer.
Wet vinyl installation.
Some types of vinyl flooring such as plank and tile need a few days to acclimate to the temperature and humidity in your home prior to the installation.
At tvd vinyl decals we evaluate both installation methods on all of our decals to determine and recommend the best method for our customers to use.
Get the surface and vinyl adhesive wet.
Use the support to remove any excess trim around the area.
Avoid joins in wet areas to prevent water from getting underneath the vinyl.
Leave your vinyl flooring to acclimatise in the intended room for 24 hours.
Turn off any underfloor heating.
Small vinyl lettering and decals should be installed dry.
Tape the piece to hold it in place.
For vinyl sheet flooring add 75ml to each edge to allow for cutting and trimming.
The dry method as its name indicates does not use fluid but rather depends on the skill of the installer to correctly position the film.
The wet method is usually recommended for the larger simple designs and any application where the application surface is recessed or embossed ie.
Mix 1 or 2 drops of liquid dish soap in a spray bottle of water.
2 1 lay the vinyl wrap on the flat sur face without removing the lining.
The wet application method applies a vinyl graphic to a substrate by using a fluid to assist with positioning.
This process prevents expanding and contracting after the flooring is installed.
Application vvivid vinyl wraps may be dry or wet applied.
