Today we re going to share a step by step guide on heat welding vinyl flash coving.
How to heat welded sheet vinyl.
We recommend using the turbo cove groover.
This helps achieve a strong weld at the starting and stopping point without damaging the floor and the tape comes off with no residue.
While these nozzles may be used on rubber flooring or linoleum they will scorch a coated sheet vinyl before the rod and groove get hot enough to bond.
When if the installer notices the scorching they either immediately turn the heat setting on the welder down or speed up.
Once you have already laid the sheet vinyl with a narrow gap in the seam approximately 1 64th of an inch it s time to groove out the seam.
Leave the tape approximately 1 8 from the starting and stopping point of the groove and weld right onto the tape.
This unique system also provides an almost seamless application allowing ease of cleaning while aiding in the prevention of bacterial growth.
