Re: Vinyl Flooring fixes
weinerles wrote:I have two challenges with my newly laid vinyl flooring. we put down the squares and our room is not perfectly square so along the baseboard we have some gaps. Does anyone know what i could use to fill in the gaps? It wouldl be extremely hard to cut those odd shaped thin floor tile strips and i am wondering if there is some sort of filler, epoxy, etc?
Also the edges of these tiles unfortunately are beveled and do not meet square at every corner. THere are a few small thin lined gaps between some of them. any idea what i could fill hose with a touchup?
Thanks!
I assume you mean the 12x12 vinyl tiles. You should have pulled the baseboards and cut the last tiles to be hidden under the baseboard when they were replaced.
Here's what I would now recommend;
Add a 1/2" or 3/4" cove moulding {or 1/4 round moulding} to the baseboards. Surely your cuts on the vinyl tiles haven't left more than a 3/4" gap anywhere.
As for a filler, if the gaps aren't too wide, you might be able to use the welding seam sealer used on sheet vinyl flooring. Check with a floor covering shop.
