Adhesive Vinyl Floor Tiles

Ready for a new look in your kitchen or bathroom? Or perhaps your flooring is just starting to seem worn out? Adhesive vinyl Floor tiles are a good option, giving you versatility for a reasonable cost. Here we will look at what you need to know about adhesive vinyl Floor tiles and how to get the most for your money.

Planning the project

Laying adhesive vinyl Floor tiles is a project of moderate difficulty, requiring a certain amount of patience and precision. To make your selection for a design or style, you can either take a trip through your phone book to check out local flooring outlets, or you can go online. Many companies do not charge shipping.

Costs for adhesive vinyl Floor tiles range from around $45 a box, or about 75 cents to $3 a square foot. You can achieve the look of ceramic tiles, wood or stone with adhesive viny! Floor tiles.

Sizing

You will need to know the square footage of the room in which you plan to lay adhesive viny! Floor tiles. Tiles are 12” by 12” and come in varying thicknesses. Don’t go for the very thin tiles, as they will wear out quickly.

Once you know the square footage of the room. You can estimate the cost and number of tiles needed. It’s good idea to purchase a few extra tiles in case of mistakes. For example, if you have an 8’ by 10’ room (80 square feet), buy 90 tiles. Then you gave 10 extra tiles to work with.

The tools

You will need the following tools to set your adhesive viny! Floor tiles:

• Measuring tape

• Utility knife or tile cutter (you can rent tile cutters)

• Chalk line

• Tile roller ( also can be rented-some people use a large rolling pin)

Important tips

I can’t emphasize enough that the floor surface (linoleum, plywood, cement, etc.) must be clean and free of holes, cracks, dips or any other damage. Sand, dirt and grit will inhibit the bonding process, as will old adhesives or a glossy surface. Make sure your surfaces are dry before laying down adhesive viny! Floor tiles.

Leave the in your home for 24 to 48 hours to allow them to adjust to the temperature. You will need to pry off any molding and replace it after you lay the tiles. Sun can damage or bleach tiles, so you may need a throw rug here or there once the tiles are laid. Don’t take the paper off of the tiles and begin laying them until you are absolutely sure of your .

Measuring

Separate the room into quadrants. Using a chalk line, find the center of the room and lay two sharp cross lines. Find the center of the room by measuring the center of each wa;; and snapping the chalk line between opposing walls. Vents, door jambs or fixtures such as tubs will require careful measurements. You will likely need to trim some tiles with a utility knife.

Laying adhesive vinyl Floor tiles

The first tiles you lay is the most important. If that is off, the rest will be off too. Work in quadrants. If you are nervous, lay the tile with the paper backing on first. This may be more time consuming, but you’ll get a better visual which will help you feel more confident. You will likely have to cut tiles to fit the edges of the room and around spots such as vents. A tile cutter will make the job easier and more precise.

Once you have laid the adhesive vinyl Floor tiles, roll over them with a heavy tile roller (or rolling pin) to help the adhesive bond.

Lastly, don’t wash the floor for a few days to allow the adhesive to cure.

CONTEMPORARY CITY FOR THREE MILLION INHABITANTS

Urban design by Le Corbusier, 1922 Exhibited in 1922 at the Salon d’Automne in Paris, the Contem-porary City for Three Million Inhabitants was Le Corbusier’s first comprehensive urban-planning project. Accompanied by a 100-square-meter diorama, it consisted of a rigidly geometric, centralized orthogonal plan with monumental axes, uniform modern buildings, vast expanses of open space covering 85 to 95 percent of the surface, and a system of highways. The project was seen simultaneously as a breathtaking modern vision and as the destruction of the familiar urban setting. Influence on the project ranged from American gridded cities, Peter Behrens’ work, and Tony Garnier’s Une Cité industrielle (1901–04, 1917; An Industrial Town) to Bruno Taut’s Utopian Die Stadtkrone (1919; The City Crown). By 1922 Le Corbusier was one of the major figures of the Modern movement, and the Contemporary City marked a high point in a period of extraordinary activity. It incorporated two ideas that he had been...

DOM-INO HOUSES

Housing design by Le Corbusier, 1914–15 and later Between 1914 and 1915, Le Corbusier, partly encouraged by his friend Max du Bois, conceived of a standardized system of construction using reinforced concrete, which was to provide the structural basis of most of his houses through the mid-1930s. These were the Dom-ino prefabricated houses with independent skeletons. The frame was to be completely independent of the floor plans of the houses. Derived from the Hennebique frame, it consisted of six thin concrete columns that simply carried two horizontal slabs as the floors. The columns and slabs were connected by staircases. Apart from this structural core of the houses, nothing else was fixed, thus permitting a great flexibility to suit demands on the basis of aesthetics, climate, composition, or view. The floor plan was also extremely flexible, as interior partitions were independent of the grid. This utterly simple and clear “open plan” method did away with load-carrying walls. Suppor...
