Vinyl is one of the easiest floors to install. However, how you install your floor will depend on the vinyl product you choose and on the manufacturer's installation instructions.
However, regardless of the type of vinyl floor you choose, you still need to undertake a few preliminary steps to ensure you install your floor properly. To get started, you need to do the following:

• In most cases, you need to remove the existing floor covering. However, there are a few exceptions. Rigid LVT, for instance, can be installed directly over tiles and most existing subfloors. Vinyl roll can be laid over linoleum coverings, but the floor must be in good condition, without any cracks, and cleaned beforehand. It’s not recommended to install vinyl roll or LVT on carpet or very flexible plastic coverings with textile or foam backing such as old vinyl floors. It’s also not recommended to install vinyl roll on tile due to the telegraphing effect where the joints of the tiling become visible on the surface of the vinyl roll. If you are installing on tiles, you need to use a levelling compound to ensure the floor is level and flat.
• Ensure the subfloor is dry, clean and flat.
• Remove your vinyl floor from its packaging and keep it in the room where it is to be installed for at least 24 hours so that it can adjust to the room temperature.
Vinyl roll flooring is sold in 6-foot and 12-foot widths, making it possible to install a seamless floor in smaller rooms such as bathrooms, halls and kitchens.

Allow the new vinyl floor to acclimate to the room by leaving it in the room where it'll be installed for at least 24 hours before cutting.
There are two ways to measure and fit vinyl. You can measure the entire floor area and then cut the vinyl 3 inches wider than the floor area on all sides. Then lay it in place and trim the excess. This method works well in rooms that are easy to fit with few angles or obstacles.
Alternatively, make a template of the floor layout. Transfer the template to the vinyl and make the proper cuts before laying it in place. Use this method with thicker vinyl or in rooms that are hard to fit because of angles or recesses. You may want to use an installation kit, which comes with paper, a marking pen, tape, a cutting blade and complete instructions to make an accurate pattern.
