Question from Jennifer
Hi,
Can anyone tell me how long the worst of the offgassing is from vinyl flooring? I’m living with my parents and I can’t talk them out of installing new vinyl flooring in the kitchen and laundry room.
And can anyone recommend a non-toxic adhesive that can be used with vinyl flooring?
Thanks very much!
Jennifer

Vinyl flooring takes a loooong time to outgas. Definately not recommended.
Offhassing can be accelerated with the use of heat. If your parents would allow it, I recommend closing all the doors and windows, the putting a space heater in the closed room. Let it bake for a few days, then air it out by opening the windows. Repeat this as many times as you need to until you no longer smell the vinyl.
