Question on final floor repair
Seal the seams
...
And remember, overlap the two sheets & cut using a straight edge
Robert’s vinyl seam sealer?

I have installed this before. It’s Heat welded at the seams. Sheets glued down then a “V” notch is cut at the seam then a strip of filler is Heat Welded in place.
This is the flooring used in Medical applications like ER and Operating Rooms to provide a germ free area because of the welded seams there’s reduced/no place for Germs/Bacteria/Blood and Body fluids to hide.
Special Tools required.
Find a competent Professional Installer to do the job.
Sounds only slightly more promising than flooring the final ceiling.
Then decide if you want the stuff in your house.
I figured someone would say it eventually. 😀😃🤪 By the way, what is the difference, between a final floor, and, you know, a regular kind of floor?
final flooring is used in funeral homes...
LOL Good one. Maybe he owns a funeral home. The last funeral home I went to, several months ago, was an open air, concrete floor home.
I though it went at the bottom of a grave?
Boy, that does look promising. I’ve come to hate almost EVERY kind of flooring. If I can’t open both the front door and back door, and then hose the floor out with a pressure washer...I don’t want it in my house.
Right? But VOCs are a concern as well. My next project is to replace the flooring (vinyl & crappy carpet) with ceramic tile & hardwood, accented with woolen area rugs. Furnishings have been meticulously selected for quite some time.
I’ve had issues for years with indoor air quality of my home and know for a fact that the flooring is just one part of the problem.
I long for a drafty, smoky log cabin in the woods from where I can draft my manifesto. (part /s)
Thank you. I also need to do a kitchen patch and was wondering about this type of product.
Bah! Humbug! Half inch battleship linoleum is the only way to go. Grrrr!

When I bought my house it had old carpet in the bedrooms. Last winter I replaced it all with vinyl plank flooring (the lock together stuff). My house smelled so much better it was amazing. I did not realize how nasty the carpet was. I shouldn’t admit this, but I found out my German Shepherd hangs her head over the edge of the bed and drools. Imagine that on your carpet. Now I put puppy pads on the floor next to the bed.
Ditto. Victorian era money pit here.
I try to buy stuff that doesn't out-gas.
Interior painting done in the spring with open windows, etc.
