Vinyl Flooring Over Concrete

Here is how you can apply glue-down vinyl plan flooring over a concrete floor:

1. Clean the concrete floor well to remove dirt, dust and any other unwanted particles.Ensure the concrete is level and there are no uneven regions.

2. You will have to measure the flooring to ensure the size of the plank matches it. You can then trim the plank to give a clean finish from start till the end.

3. Spread flooring adhesive onto the subfloor with a trowel.

4. Allow the adhesive to set just long enough that it’s tacky but is yet to dry completely. It should still be slightly visible.

5. Begin to lay down your vinyl planks.

6. Use a floor roller yo fully bond the vinyl flooring to the adhesive once all the boards have been placed.

That is all you need to do. I hope this helps.
