Vinyl & Safety Flooring Hot Welding
Hot-welded seams for sheet vinyl and safety flooring in healthcare, education, care homes, kitchens and washrooms. Creates a seamless, watertight and hygienic floor.
What it is and why it matters
Where two sheets of vinyl or safety flooring meet, the seam is the weak point. Hot welding grooves the joint and melts a matching weld rod into it, fusing the two sheets into one continuous surface.
A welded seam is watertight, will not lift or curl, and leaves nowhere for dirt or bacteria to sit. That is why it is required in clinical areas and recommended anywhere floors are wet-cleaned.
We hot weld as standard on our sheet vinyl and safety flooring installs. We can also repair or re-weld failed seams on existing floors.

Hot welding FAQs
What is hot welding in flooring?
It is the process of fusing the seams of sheet vinyl or safety flooring with a heated weld rod, so the joint becomes part of one continuous, sealed floor.
Is hot welding necessary?
In healthcare, food preparation, toilets and wet areas it is effectively required, and many specifications insist on it. In other areas it is still the best way to stop seams lifting.
Can you re-weld seams on an existing floor?
Often, yes. If the flooring is otherwise in good condition we can cut out and re-weld failed seams rather than replacing the whole floor.
Do you weld LVT?
No. LVT tiles and planks are not welded. Hot welding applies to sheet vinyl and sheet safety flooring.
Do you work outside Leicester?
Yes. We are based in Ratby, Leicester, and work across the East Midlands and nationwide.
