repairing a rip in cushioned vinyl
Evening all,
I just ripped a fair-sized tear in my new cushioned vinyl kitchen floor, the tear being two sides of a triangle about 10-15cm long. (OK, so it's time to put some castors under the legs of the fridge and freezer) Please can anyone offer advice on fixing this? Zach -- freemail full stop nl knows me as miffi |

floor, the tear being two sides of a triangle about 10-15cm long. If it`s a fairly "neat" rip , then you can try gluing it down or using double sided tape. If it`s not a neat rip , and you have have a spare offcut, then cut out a neat square and insert an identical piece from your offcut into the gap ( gluing etc.) I did this second method fairly successfully after the dog ( when she was a puppy) decided to try and tunnel a hole in the newly laid cushion-floor.on the kitchen side of a closed door. The pattern consisted of squares so I just cut out a square and inserted an identical square fromthe offcut . It was virtually unnoticeable when I had finished. A useful tip when shifting fridges, washing machines etc. when you have cushion floor is to slip a bit of carpet offcut UNDERNEATH the machine to be moved and then it will move/slide easily over the vinyl without damging it.
