Corridors in Commercial Vinyl Sheet & Plank Flooring

Finished this up last night. Started 4/17, ground floor corridors, vinyl plank in the back storage halls, 6 ft Tekno Sheet and Tekno commercial plank. First time with their plank, I liked it. Demo old VCT, and due to layoffs due to Covid19, we also did infection control, which is putting up Zip Wall containment and HEPA air scrubbers, moving pallets of food and kitchen supplies, etc. Good thing was, due to the covid 19 there was very little foot traffic from the public to deal with. Longest corridor was right at 180 fr long, 3 full rolls and a partial, Field was simple, snap lines, roll out floor, border was another story. Main corridors were 8ft wide, connector corridors were 6, so the field in those was cut down, to keep the borders consistent. Border really shows off lousy door placement in some areas, due to door ways not being centered, but we don't build them.

 

Scraped up. They don't allow grinding.

 

Lol, thank you. The borders here were the result of them being unhappy with corridors in the ER, that were done by an out of the area company, all in the same color. Wood grain flooring solid color rod, and welding that was sloppy. I suggested using a border darker then the field, and by luck they picked the dark brown for borders, and that rod is a dead match, color wise. Makes me look good.
The main corridors were 8 ft wide, side corridors were 6, the 8's were easy.
That 175 main was 3 1/3 full rolls, right down the middle. More vinyl then I have ever put down in a night, as I remember, lol. But the borders took a lot of time, the guy helping me had little vinyl experience, but he learned how to scribe seams so it helped. Spent a couple full days welding all that up. Glad to be back, working regular hours

 

Did a few carpet border jobs back a couple decades ago, it was when that mallard green and royal blue were popular. I remember seeing rugs you did with the beveled edge, it does add substantially to the look.
