Sheet Vinyl flooring
For those of you that put in a new floor did you remove the old floor and use it as a pattern for the new floor? Did you buy the floating Vinyl or the kind you glued down?

- Properly glued flooring can't be removed in good enough shape to use as a pattern it tears.
Taped together heavy paper makes a fair pattern just take your time
The latest wisdom is to let the floor float due to extremes in temps
Good Luck, Mike - I bought mine from the local flooring guy at Ace Hardware. It was a HD sheet vinyl and his recommendation was to glue the perimeter. Cutting it to fit was easy. Draw a plan with a tape measure-add 1/4" to each dimension-cut & fit with a razor knife-glue down.
It's been a year now and we couldn't be happier with it. - IMHO "floating" floors are the work of the devil.
pkunk, that floor looks a lot like the one that came in my Ascend.
bumpy - They now have double sided tape for the perimeter of sheet vinyl flooring. Works great. I got mine at Home Depot. I used it in a recent remodel in the S&B bathroom. If you end up with a few bubbles don't sweat it, they'll settle down in about a months time. Good luck.
Oh yeah almost forgot. Unless your current floor has a rough textured pattern, you can lay it right over the top. If you think you need to, you can even buy floor leveling compound, skim it, then lay new floor. If your current floor has 100% glue down taking it up and cleaning the glue etc. could get ugly.
