How can new floor coverings be installed quickly and easily onto existing vinyl or lino?

With Sigan 2.

Ripping out existing flooring is expensive and associated with all sorts of unpleasantness and loss of use. Sigan 2 offers a fast and reliable solution. It can also be removed with no residue even after years of use. With the new switchTec® adhesive technology from UZIN, new vinyl, lino and rubber floors can be installed quickly and cleanly onto existing vinyl or linoleum surfaces.

Step by step guide:

Use clean water to remove dust and dirt etc. Then wait until the surface is dry. Next perform a trial to check whether Sigan 2 adheres securely to the existing floor covering.
Apply the Sigan 2 Tape along walls, doors and protrusions. This provides increased adhesive strength around the periphery.
Install Sigan 2 in the running or working direction of the new floor covering.
As an alternative, overlap the Sigan 2 sheets and cut back to the joint.
Another option is the installation of Sigan 2 using the 2-man method.
Fit the acclimatised floor covering and then fold back a half.
Pull the protective paper away from the Sigan 2. Cut the protective paper leaving a 10 cm remnant and fold under the floor covering to form a flap.
The floor covering can immediately be installed onto the Sigan 2 and rolled over the surface.
Then fold back the second half of the floor covering. Pull the protective paper away from the Sigan 2 with help from the flap created. Slide and roll the floor covering onto the Sigan 2. Then roll over the surface to complete the installation.
The floor covering can be walked on and used immediately after installing. With Sigan 2, the floor covering can be removed years later without leaving residues.
