Installation and maintenance tips for PVC floor films: a practical guide to extend service life

With the continuous development of home decoration, PVC floor films have won the favor of consumers with their diverse patterns and high cost-effectiveness. Among the many PVC floor film products, Dark Wood Grain PVC Floor Film is highly praised for its natural wood grain effect and durability. This article will introduce how to properly install and maintain Dark Wood Grain PVC Floor Film to ensure that it maintains its high-quality appearance and functionality for a long time.

Preparation before installation

Cleaning the floor: Make sure the floor is clean and flat, without dust, oil or old glue. After cleaning, use a vacuum cleaner or mop to thoroughly remove the residue on the floor.

Check the flatness of the floor: PVC floor film has high requirements for the flatness of the floor. If the floor is obviously uneven, it needs to be repaired or polished to avoid unevenness after installation.

Temperature adaptation: Before installation, place the PVC floor film in the indoor environment to adapt to temperature changes. Generally, the optimal installation temperature is between 15°C and 25°C.

Installation steps

Measurement and cutting: Measure the floor according to the actual size of the room and cut the Dark Wood Grain PVC Floor Film to the appropriate size. It is recommended to leave some margin when cutting to facilitate adjustment and trimming.

Positioning and laying: Place the cut floor film on the floor to ensure that it is in the correct position. You can first test lay it without removing the adhesive, and then formally paste it after confirming that the position is correct.

Peeling the adhesive: Carefully peel off the adhesive of the PVC floor film, starting from one end and gradually sticking it to the floor. Use a flat tool (such as a scraper or roller) to flatten the floor film to avoid bubbles and wrinkles.

Trimming the edges: After installation, check whether the edges are flat. Use a sharp knife to trim the edges to ensure that the joints between the floor film and the wall and baseboard are smooth and seamless.

Maintenance and care

Regular cleaning: To keep the Dark Wood Grain PVC Floor Film beautiful, clean the floor every week with a clean mop and neutral detergent. Avoid using strong acid or alkaline cleaners to avoid damaging the surface of the floor membrane.

Avoid high temperature and humidity: Although PVC floor membranes have a certain degree of water resistance, excessive temperature and humidity may still affect their service life. Avoid placing overheated objects on the floor membrane or using it in a high humidity environment.

Regular inspection: Regularly check the joints and edges of the floor membrane to ensure that there is no degumming or warping. If problems are found, repair them in time to prevent the problem from expanding.

Protective measures: Use protective pads under furniture to avoid heavy objects from causing indentations on the floor membrane. Regularly moving the position of furniture can reduce wear on the surface of the floor membrane.
