Linoleum is a universal floor covering with a soft property. It is easy to install, but still the installation process is not without features associated with the specifics of the material. One of these is the elasticity of linoleum.
Most often, it is stored in a weakly heated warehouse, in which the material is significantly cooled and even freezes. It is in order that the linoleum does not burst during the roll unrolling, it needs to rest for some time. How much this should happen is hard to say. To understand that linoleum is ready for use, you need to make sure that it is flexible enough.
The second reason why linoleum is usually traced is the need for its acclimatization. Like any other type of building materials, linoleum is not without this need. At this time, the material sufficiently shrinks and acquires properties characteristic of the temperature at which it is located.
If linoleum was twisted into a roll and stayed in it for a long period of time, its characteristic property of “memory” will fix this situation. Spread material in most cases has abundant waves over the entire surface. It will be possible to correct this phenomenon only by means of straightening and tracking. How long it should be laid down depends on the thickness of the linoleum, the use of weighting, as well as the diameter of the twist.
If linoleum has an impressive thickness and mass, then most likely it will not take a lot of time to straighten it. Sometimes 12 hours is enough for a full recovery. Cheaper materials that are devoid of a sound and heat-insulating base will recover much longer. Tracking can take more than one day.
The process is also affected to a large extent by the type of twist diameter used. Large turns, as a rule, are quickly restored. If we are talking about the segment from which the twisting began, then it will take several times more time.
Budget linoleums often have an inherent specific odor. It is not uncommon to use a tracking method to eliminate it. The expanded state promotes early weathering and eliminates the possibility of discomfort in the room. Additional room ventilation or ventilation will speed up the process.
