Again, I welcome you, and channel subscribers readers!

In the article "Laying linoleum. Trimming around the pipes"Were to be illuminated some important nuances that touch upon here.

1. Storage

At store linoleum is stored as wound on a paper tube bay. If you cut off a piece of roll into a thin tube and leave it to the laying lie for a long time, it will require the same long-term alignment. Therefore it is better to buy the material shortly before the Coanda - somewhere in a week or less - and do not put on a twisted piece in order to avoid local deformations.

In the familiar linoleum lay before laying a few months, and then about the same rectified and properly in place did not and in a year, although the cover does not come cheap. Ideal - ask the place of purchase pipe from under the Bay, if it is wound on it and keep the house as you want. Checked personally, method works.

2. Alignment on the wall

Probably, at least once you had to walk on the floor, on which the linoleum went waves and make a something about it then not everyone will turn out, so he pressed furniture, baseboards, sometimes glued, etc.

To avoid the phenomenon thereof trimming cost to perform exactly the profile of the wall - repeating bulges, hollows and fractures planes (photo 3).

It is not necessary to bend at least a little painting on the wall in the hope that pressed against the edge of the skirting and cover up. Although sometimes it seems to be justified, for example, in the kitchen, to poprepyatstvovat leaked water seep to the neighbors, but the quality and laying linoleum installation skirting it may interfere.

3. The gap between the wall and linoleum

Leave 2-3 cm from the wall to the edge of the canvas - it's too much, since not all the skirting boards will block such a gap. And here a gap of 1 cm quite normal. It is necessary to rid you of irregularities and uplifts the web in unexpected places.

Important. Linoleum slightly resizes when the temperature increases and so when laying up against the wall and can be lifted to give a wave. But more interestingly, that in time he gradually expands, which in itself can cause lung accordion. Therefore, the gap is better to leave.

4. Trimming around pipes

According to the reviews I see that cut linoleum knife is not only convenient, but also a pair of scissors. However, in this apartment I came across material on a synthetic fiber-based - something similar to the felt, but Only artificial that take scissors bad, so cut two knives: short and rigid blade with ordinary (Photo 1).

Important. Even before the cutting hole pipe linoleum desirable to align the wall (5 photos) That make it easier in two. Read more about this in the video.

When trimming the wall is made in advance, precision cutting around pipes will improve. Right and left linoleum pressed against the skirting board and will look all OK!
