I've been asked to price a job using unnatural flooring its going into 4 bedrooms all with a wet room all joins need cold weld the customer has told me he has spoken to the manufactures and this product can be cap and coved in the wet rooms I've not fitted this flooring before so can this be done any thoughts cheers
When you say wet rooms will they have gullys in the floor. Not sure I'd trust cold weld in a wet area.
There's a drain in the floor same as you'd use in Altro but IMO I can't see this working with cold weld
One word ...... Disclaimer!! If I was gonna do the job and follow the customers request, I'd make my suggestions but after that it's their call. The Itec cold weld seems to be a good product and extremely strong but still not sure how water tight it would be for a wet room.
This stuff is like bolon tiles,heavy textured woven vinyl, you must lay it with a waterproof adhesive for wet areas and the cold weld so both bring challenges, especially with cove and cap, You could do it but it will take time, the biggest problem the client will have is keeping it clean, with the bolon they recommend putting a dr Schultz PU seal on the floor, probably the same for this, I think it will get a build up of white calcium deposits from the water (unless its a soft water area)and be extremely difficult to clean
dont think you would groove it successfully for welding as spun vinyl may pull or burst open. easy enough to fit tho, cold weld is good on it as you cannt see it when dry never bothered putting masking down first.
