Anyone had any experience of laying vinyl on floors?

[Martin Pearson]

do a search on the boards Adrian, cant remember the thread but Roberts brother does this sort of thing in museums and art exhibitions. There was quite a long thread some time ago

Found the link Martin, its basically says that the vinyl used is standard vinyl cut into strips and applied to the bare floor.

Jim Lambie’s work is at:

Some truely inspiring stuff! 😀

Robert would know quite a bit about it anyway Adrian, as Martin says, Jim is Robert’s brother.

300+ metres is one hell of a lot of vinyl, what are they having done if its not too rude a question Adrian?

Cheers, Dewi

Not too rude Dewi

It is for Glasgow Gallery of Modern Art, we are quoting to cover all the walls and the floor, but I aint done a floor before.

Yes I have asked Rob to quote (His borther Jim does these things but as an artist and works with four other guys but hes about £150K a shot)

Blimey, thats a lot of pennies! 😮

As I say, I think the vinyl is just applied to the floor bare, although I can understand your concern, 300+ metres is alot of vinyl to apply anyway, but on a floor, its a daunting task.

On smaller stuff there is a laminate that you can buy that goes over the vinyl, sort of an anti-slip thing, Phill at Right Signs was discussing it in a thread a while back.

Sorry I can’t be of more help, in fact I’m pretty useless, but I’d love to see some piccies when you’ve done the job though, bet it going to be one unique installation! 😀

Cheers, Dewi
