My Linoluem flooring is about 12 years old and looks like new, but it is coming-up around the edges....?

Question

...is their a product that I can use to glue it back down? I'm afraid that if I use the wrong adhesive it will cause the floor to yellow, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

You can use Henry sheet vinyl adhesive. Can't you tack quarter round or shoe moulding around the perimeter?

Answer 2

before trying to glue it back(which will really be a hard job that may or may not work), look into buying some cove base which comes in many colors that you glue to the wall. We use it a lot on cement floors when you can not use molding.It also looks really good.

Answer 3

Contact cement

Home Depot

Answer 4

You should be able to find a special purpose adhesive at one of the “big box” stores: Depot or Lowes.  The question I have concerns why the floor is coming up – and if it’s water then there are additional issues beyond simply gluing the floor back down.

Also, you may find that the floor has a bit of a “memory”, and really doesn’t want to lay flat while the glue sets up.  If this is the case, you may be able to help the situation by using a hair dryer to heat the vinyl to make it more pliable (don’t get too close / hot or you may discolor the floor).  Then place some heavy books over the newly glued floor for a few days.

Good luck and good thinking to be concerned about color change w/ wrong product.
