platinum by earthscapes


I have finally decided to replace my old kitchen floor with the platinum by earthscapes color name Nevada 991 sheet vinyl. My previous floor was coved so I was going to have this one done the same way. I am now told after selecting and they ordered the vinyl and set up the insallation that I can't cove this. First I was wondering if this is correct or if so what would be the best to replace the coving. I would like to update but my home was bulit in 1942 and I do like the nice details. Baseboard?

You were misinformed. This can be coved. It needs to be installed with the adhesive wet as a "permanent" installation.

It can be coved just as Barry said, Last I knew you had to use double faced tape in the cove are, but going in wet like Barry said would be my choice.

I'll bet they want to try loose laying it in which case you should not cove it.
