How to fix a big bubble in vynal wood flooring.

To fix it you must relieve the tension in the floor. If you have small scrapes or cuts in your vinyl apply a low gloss seam sealer to seal them up. For larger bubbles use a towel and iron. This will help the vinyl flooring soften a bit.

For small bubbles an inch or less in diameter use a large needle to prick the bubble allowing the trapped air to escape. Then use a towel and a hot iron to heat and flatten the vinyl. Puncture the center of a flooring bubble that s less than an inch across using a sturdy sharp needle. Peaking is when the floor has been installed without enough space left at the walls for expansion causing the boards to squeeze together and rise at a joined seam.

Here is the secret for removing bubbles in vinyl flooring. Put some flooring adhesive onto your floor. If the bubble is on the large size wrap a hot iron in a piece of cloth and put it onto the air bubble. Cut the sheet vinyl flooring in the shape of an x with a utility knife and then remove the vinyl by peeling it back.

If the inspection shows a large bubble centered on a seam between floorboards then the floor is peaking. Repairing vinyl flooring is a quick way to fix your tiles without redoing your flooring.
