Why linoleum is a wave? Master OK

Greetings to all on a channel - regular and new readers!

Today is not talking about the kinds of linoleum, many of its characteristics, but only about keeping before and after the acquisition.

When we say "linoleum", that usually mean that the floor covering, based on PVC (polyvinyl chloride), whether he felt basis or without it. Linoleum often buy in advance and stored for a long time, and then at the spreading can not straighten - waves, like the sea, which do not disappear for days, weeks, months... And sometimes it does not disappear. But it happens and when spreading just bought coverage.

Read separately, how to prune the linoleum near the pipes and put near the threshold.

Why linoleum deformed despite laying right

When we go to buy linoleum flooring, we can see that it is kept in a twisted form - wound on a paper tube (photo 2), A diameter of about 10-12 cm. But how much time he lies? Unknown. It turns out that if you lay linoleum before the sale, the 2-3, before the end straighten his chances a bit. I would buy such material is not advised, since the residual, that is unrecoverable, fabric deformation over time will only increase.

Output: before buying should ask how long the roll is kept in stock, and then decide whether you need it.

How to store the linoleum at home

Home not only as normal in the Bay store linoleum we can not. If you do not mind, ask at the point of sale about the presence of unnecessary paper tube from under the roll spend and ask the wind bought a piece on it. If the tube does not give, ask that the web is not rolled up too tightly in a thin roll. This will allow him to straighten up after a short binning without consequences.

Buying linoleum in the cold, standing before laying give it a good warm in the room, to improve its flexibility and expansion after it acquired a normal size. To cover recover recommend it to lay out in advance and wait for 1-3 days.

By experience I would say that if a thin linoleum and peremerzshy, in cold weather it can safely be laid within a few hours of stay at room temperature, and warm period - immediately after the delivery of home and there is no need to wait for any improvement, since a couple of hours from the purchase before laying with him did not have time occur.

On photo 3 Linoleum on the felt basis, the laid two hours after purchase. STROYMARKET kept it at 15, and was laid at + 19.

How much can you store the linoleum at home

If storage lasts for years, that lead to normal twisted coating is unlikely to succeed, and in a month. There are instances when, after long-term storage on the excellent linoleum and in a year after a wave of flooring is not fully straightened and the owners just put up with it.

But even if prior to installation is necessary to wait a little bit, such as a week or two, it is important to consider the following:

• If the height of the room allows, the roll must be stored upright. In the inclined form, drawing on the wall rolled linoleum is better not to leave, as it drags in the middle and nothing has to be done. Look closely for the sake of interest, and you will notice that the stores remaining pieces are also stored in an upright position (Photo 4).

• Lying on a roll is not recommended to attack, trying his strength, sit, draw, press down or something to put on top. If the linoleum on what not wound, it is under its own weight, and so sits quietly that for mild bad time will tell, but if you give a strong and constant load on top, then roll priplyusnetsya and acquire the shape of an ellipse, which will lead to the emergence of the most exciting and bulges to spread out canvas. Do they disappear - is the question.

watching. Small pieces of a width of 1-1.5 m, stored for a long time in an upright position, usually do not give the accordion and Stela rovnenko.

Important! All types of linoleum characterized by some residual deformation within 0-4. It is designated by the letter "P". The greater the deformation of the declared by the manufacturer, the greater the likelihood that the linoleum after stretching during storage does not come to its original state. This indicator is also possible to ask the sellers.

Housing linoleum can be called a good coating with a residual strain P2. In any case, it is better not to go too, and keep away from crushing and the result will be ok!
