Linoleum is one of the most common types of flooring. It is often used in the process of arranging interiors of apartments, houses, office premises. One of the main advantages of the material is its affordable cost. Linoleum also has a large assortment of colors and textures, which greatly simplifies its selection.
The disadvantage of linoleum is that it can be easily damaged. To do this, just put on it a heavy furniture set or walk on its surface in high-heeled shoes.
If there is a dent or a hole in the heel on the surface of linoleum, you should not be upset and think about a complete replacement of the flooring in the room. All because the material can be restored by following simple and affordable rules.
How to seal a hole in linoleum
At the initial stage, it is necessary to make sure that the defect can not only be glued, but also to smooth its surface. To stick linoleum in the place of damage, you can use two methods - PVA glue or "cold welding".
"Cold welding" is a series of materials based on polymers. They do not just stick linoleum, but fuse together parts of it. In this case, a thin and smooth seam is formed, which is almost invisible to the naked eye. When working with polymeric materials, it is highly recommended to use products that provide the proper level of personal protection. It can be tight rubber gloves, a mask and construction glasses.
Preparatory work
Before sticking a hole with PVA glue or a polymer composition - in this case, the choice of material depends on the size of the defect and its features, it is necessary to carry out preparatory work. To begin with, carefully sweep or vacuum the floor in the room, wash it with warm soapy water and let it dry completely.
After this, the place where the defect should be degreased should be degreased using special means, which you can choose at any construction supermarket. If the defect has a large depth, it must be filled using cement of a quick-drying type. Such work is best done before cleaning the premises and degreasing the damage surface.
In the process of restoration of linoleum, it is worth using masking tape, which will protect the material adjacent to the damage site from the ingress of glue, polymer or cement.
