- This video shows a vinyl installation and shows how to do capping and coving with wall mount adhesive, and also how to heat weld the joints.
Heat welding the seems is an essential part of coving installation to make sure the surface becomes smooth and water resistant.
Hot welding is always preferable to install any commercial flooring: health care, office spaces, public spaces, schools, agecare centres, …
I’ve been installing cove vinyl for 20 plus yrs and have never seen corners done like that I respect your installation and your welding but I’m blown away by the corners
Butterfly corners used in hospitals a lot
Same here - I’ve been fitting coved vinyl (in various situations) for 22 years now…
As much as I find the above style of fitting ‘interesting’, it’s FAR removed from the way that I fit/weld commercial vinyl, especially the internal mitres - it literally makes zero sense to cut that material out…only to immediately add it straight back in again and forcing yourself into having to spend a load more time on fitting something that needn’t exist in the first place. And then there’s the extra welding (again, for no reason at all)…???!!
Externals’ are naturally required, we know that, so I totally understand why this is used on that part, but other than that you’re basically cutting bits out and adding them back in again presumably for the sake of wasting time and creating potential weak points in a wet area 😮😮
The internals aren’t an added piece. When he’s split the internal he’s just wrapped that triangle your left with around the corner
Butterfly corners. I’ve done jobs where they specified butterfly corners. Not a fan of
Butterfly's they're way stronger and more durable than boots. They'll last way longer. You'll eventually run into a job that requires them. They're pretty damn easy to do once you get a few under your belt.
Brilliant thanks guys!
Good work nice and tidy
How do you fold back brittle material without breaking it? Heating it? Pattern scribing?

My boss gets mad at me for putting the toe to high on my outside corner butterflies instead he gets me to place them so the bottom almost covers the cove so its easier to weld the round part but i find they cringle whwn u do that oh well he pays me gotta do what the boss man says XD
Do it way different in the union 😅
Paper pattern? With boots right
Union guys stand around looking out the window all day. Subs don’t get paid unless they work
I don’t understand the tool selection he’s using. Would not recommend this video to a newbie.
Do you need a worker with you? I am capable and work in this field in Morocco✌🏻🤍
