None of my 124 FHB’s even hints at this, but wouldn’t it be nice if one had a rectangular kitchen 12 feet wide and, once every five or ten years, you could roll up the old and roll out the new vinyl sheet floor? No glue scrape- or melt-off, no new glue, not even a visit from the flooring guy if you could wrestle it into place. Tease out the quarter-molding and then tap it back.
All FHB mentions just assume there will be an adhesive. But I have laid vinyl loose on some utility building floors, and it lies flat and precise, no ripples or bumps. Why not use this simple method for kitchens, or even for bathrooms with a template and a split behind the toilet?
With such simple installation, one could afford to replace a floor whenever it began to look worn or ratty.
