PVC tiles are used not only for finishing public buildings, but also widely used in the interior of residential premises. The durability of the material, resistance to frequent wet cleaning allow you to arrange the floor covering of PVC tiles in the corridors, in the kitchen, in the bathrooms.

The products of the Japanese NOX Corporation are good indicators, which produces quartz vinyl tiles. Adding a quartz crumb to the material makes it particularly durable.

What is the vinyl tile PVC

It is made by a tile by the method of hot pressing of several materials. The main protective layer is made of durable polyurethane coating, which protects material from mechanical damage. From above, the product is covered with varnish. The lacquer coating is an additional protective layer.

Modules differ in size, form, color, texture, gloss, and laying method.

PVC tiles for the walls are thinner than sex. Produced with different patterns - with brick imitation, tile, wood. Vinyl tile is allowed to apply for wall cladding in wet rooms. Do not use the wall tile for laying on the floor - it is not designed for heavy loads.

PVC tile for the floor has a number of advantages compared to other floor coatings.

1. For laying, expensive professional tools are not required.
2. The installation of the coating is performed quickly, without dirt and noise, which are inevitable when working with ceramic tiles.
3. The coating is easy to understand and can be reused.
4. It has sound insulation properties.
5. Various laying options are possible - in a straight line, diagonally, in a checkerboard manner.
6. It has many color options. Combination of tiles of different color helps to create an unusual design.
7. When laying a linoleum in narrow corridors, part of the material goes on trimming. When using waste tiles little. You can calculate the required amount by room area.
8. Unlike ceramics, coating from vinyl materials is warm to the touch, has a smaller weight, not slippery, has increased impact resistance.
9. When installing there is no need to fully release the room from furniture.
10. The adhesive tile can be laid on uneven surfaces.

What happens PVC tile

1. Castle PVC tile.
The lock tile does not require gluing to the base. Tiles are connected with the help of locks. The basis for which the material is stacked must be tough and even. It is allowed to install on old floor coverings - linoleum, laminate, parquet. The main requirement - the difference in irregularities should not exceed 2 mm. The presence of irregularities can lead to a discrepancy of the coating on the seams.

One of the types of such material is vinyl laminate. When installing, the longitudinal groove of one bar is inserted into the recess on the other and snaps up - the locks are made on the principle of locks on the usual laminate.

The modular floor covering of PVC unipol has castles of another species and is assembled by the type "Puzzle". When installing such tiles use rubber xy.

Adhesive modules have a smooth lower surface. The tile is glued to the base with a special glue.
The need to use glue violates the environmental purity of the premises. For this reason, it is undesirable to apply such material in bedrooms or living rooms.

3. Self-adhesive PVC tile.
The lower layer of the self-adhesive tile is made of adhesive coating. For installation, it is enough to separate the protective film and secure the tile to the base, paying attention to the arrows marked on the reverse side. Material thickness no more than 2 mm.

When buying self-adhesive tiles, pay attention to the shelf life. Over time, the adhesive composition loses its qualities.

4. In addition to the listed options, free-base tile is available. The secret of its installation lies in tight fit of the planks to each other. Such a tile is not glued to the base, which allows you to quickly replace the spoiled bar, without disassembling all the coating.

How to put PVC tiles

• Prepare the right surface. To lay the lock tile, the base is aligned with a bulk sex.
• Inspect the old cement screed. If there are cracks and holes - repaint them with a plaster mixture. Also zashpaklyuyte seams between plywood sheets and strengthening of self-tapping screws.
• For quality of gluing tiles needed dry clean surface. The old coating rinse with warm water and detergent, let dry thoroughly. Absorbent surfaces - screed, plywood primed.
• Tile prepared for laying out of the horizontal position. She should lie down until the start of work at least one day. Installation is performed when the indoor temperature is not lower than 18º.
• For fixing adhesive material using a special glue for PVC tiles. The adhesive is applied onto the substrate and spread with a notched trowel. Good feedback is the glue of the Finnish manufacturer Kesto Plus.
• When laying the self-adhesive tiles separate the protective film immediately before installation. Try to correctly place the tiles directly connect the modules -First edge, firmly press and only then stick to the ground.
• After bonding pressure roller is necessary to expel air bubbles that does not remain and tiles tightly fits to the base.
• Laying adhesive PVC tiles starts from the center of the room to the walls. Surpluses are cut with a knife construction.
• In the process, immediately remove the glue got on the front side. Wash new coating can be 3 days after installation.
