VINYL BATHROOM FLOORS COVED VINYL FLOOR home inspections
VINYL
BATHROOM FLOORS: COVED VINYL: Coved vinyl
means the vinyl flooring was brought up the
walls, usually three or four inches. Rooms with
coved vinyl do not need, nor can they use,
baseboard. This allows for easy cleaning around
the walls. Use care when placing chairs or
tables against the cove as their legs may tear
through the cove. Vinyl flooring may contain
asbestos, especially if the flooring is pre-
1980. Be aware that the inspector does not check
for asbestos. VINYL WITH WOOD OR VINYL-RUBBER
BASEBOARDS: Keep wood baseboards tightly secured
to the wall and sealed with caulk at contact
with the floor. Keep well painted or stained to
prevent water penetration and rot. A
vinyl-rubber "baseboard" is fastened
to the wall with an adhesive. Sometimes this
adhesive will break down and allow the base to
come loose. Careful application of base adhesive
(available at Flooring Dealers or Carpet Stores)
behind the loose areas is the method of
correction. Follow the directions on the
adhesive container. Any floor covering materials
laid over wood subfloors effectively prevents
the inspector from determining the condition of
the subfloor. Wood rot can go undetected if not
visible to the inspector. Contact the inspection
company for further information if you desire.
All vinyl flooring should be carefully caulked
around tubs and showers to prevent water
penetration to the subfloor and to prevent lift
and damage to the flooring itself.
