How-To Articles
Patching Vinyl Floors, by Jim McClain

This is a 3-page article, extensively illustrated, that describes the procedures for patching small burns or holes in vinyl flooring. It is accompanied by a companion, PHOTO ESSAY: Patching Vinyl, for those who want larger images and fewer words.
The patch fits snug, matches its surroundings and is sealed to prevent shrinking and curling. It's practically invisible. A small patch like this takes a pro less than an hour to do. Even the accomplished DIYer can do this in nearly the same amount of time.
This is a time-tested method for repairing minor damage to sheet vinyl flooring. Study this interesting article, view the high quality images and then discuss it in the Articles Discussion Forum.



SLC & Radiant Heat Flooring, by Todd Groettum

One of the hot-topics here at The Floor Pro Community is radiant heated flooring. There's always an interesting discussion in the forums, especially among the tile pros. One of the best has put together an excellent guide to pouring Self-Leveling Cement over radiant heated floors.
When installing electric radiant heated flooring, you will find that every manufacturer has slightly differing recommendations in their installation guidelines. Following the manufacturer's recommendations for installing the wires or mats is important. Following their guidelines for installing tile directly over these mats generally leads to frustration and in many cases an installation that has an inferior finish due to trying to set over a surface that is not flat, and sometimes one that has sensors that are thicker than the thinset bed you are trying to set tile into.
Geared toward the professional, but an excellent guide for the accomplished do-it-yourselfer, this is comprehensive information that will lead you to a successful job. Read this interesting article and then discuss it in the Articles Discussion Forum.
