Patching Sheet Flooring
can be repaired.
Most sheet flooring is glued to the floor with a bed of adhesive. Some newer types of flooring, designed especially for do-it-yourself installation, require adhesive only at seams and edges.
If the entire floor has been laid in adhesive, you usually can work a putty knife underneath and peel up the damaged piece. You may need to apply heat. To make the patch less conspicuous, take time to carefully match its pattern to the floor's. To patch the newer types of flooring, cut out the damaged section and cement a patch as you would the seam of a new floor.
