Temporary flooring
Temporary floors as its name suggest are provisional floors that are installed for a particular purpose, and once the function is done they are removed. Temporary floors can be set either outdoors or indoors for the flooring to have a particular look or feel.
Temporary floors are grouped into two main classes which are
- Peel and stick: This type does not require any adhesive or joining kit, as they can stock on the existing floors on their own with ease. These can be peel and stick carpets or peel and stick vinyl
- Floating: Floating flooring is a flooring option that is spread over an existing floor or on the ground, it does not require any adhesive or nail to hold it down. Perfect examples of floating flooring are rugs and carpets.
Let’s look at some of the temporary floors that are used in different areas and for different functions:
Carpet Tiles
Carpet tiles are a great temporary flooring option suitable for both indoors and outdoors. Carpet tiles are available in both large and small squared shapes or roll-over carpets.
The squared carpet tiles are installed using a very low amount of adhesive just enough for it to hold the floors underneath and is it does not damage the subfloors. Carpet tiles when installed create an illusion of a full carpeted area when correctly laid the joins are not visible.
Carpet tiles can be installed on almost any type of floor whether hardwood or cement flooring and they can be easily removed.
Rubber Interlocking Tiles
Interlocking rubber tiles is another excellent option for temporary floorings, this flooring option does not require any adhesive when installing it, and the interlocking system fuses the tiles tightly together and their weight helps to hold them down.
Rubber interlocking tiles are:
- Easy to clean
- Easy to install
- Easy to maintain
- Versatile (they can be used for a variety of purposes )
This option can be used for outdoor events such as conferences, galas, weddings, product launches among other functions.
Vinyl floor decals
Vinyl floor decals are available in various patterns and shares. These are ideal when decorating previously installed floors. The vinyl peel and stick decals are easy to install as you just need to properly align them then stick on the subfloors, the vinyl decals create a floating smooth finish.
The decals are easy to clean, easy to lay, and easy to remove as well, suitable for flooring indoors can withstand heavy traffic, and are durable.
Rugs
Rugs allow you to personalize your area, these can be used anywhere covering a stained floor, decorating a room, spread evenly on the ground for outdoor events, no adhesive is required it is just spreading over.
The downside of rugs is that they are not fixed, they slide around and are also not easy to clean, and are heavy water absorbers.
Foam floor tiles
Foam floor tiles are more or less like rubber interlocking tiles, these tiles interlock together and hold to the floor very well.
Foam tiles are mostly used in gyms, children’s play areas but they work perfectly in homes, especially in bedrooms, they are available in a wide range of patterns and shades.
Temporary floors are used in places they can require to be changed or moved anytime. Temporary floors should be easy to install and easy to remove as well as they are not meant to be permanent.
