PVC rolls cover a concrete floor in no time, lending a clean and uniform covering. Although durable, it is thinner and more flexible than the PVC tiles. In this short article, find out how to install it and where to buy it.

PVC roll floor covering is typically about 1/8 in. thick and is available in various widths, lengths, and colors. The covering is easy to install: simply unroll it. Adjoining sheets can be butted together, but for a better joint, tape mating edges to the concrete with indoor/outdoor double-faced tape.

Surface in no time

The large, heavy rolls are easy to install once in position. Wait for warm weather, as the PVC material is more pliable and easier to unroll above 60°F.

Trim with a utility knife. Before trimming the excess material, allow it to relax at the base of the wall.

Hold down edges. Use indoor/outdoor double-faced tape to seam the edges.
