ABSTRACT:
The pattern of a room to be covered by a sheet vinyl or other sheet material is determined by using a roll of paper, which has pressure sensitive adhesive bands on both sides, each covered with a release paper. The paper is placed around the periphery of the room with a portion of the paper projecting up the wall. The paper is then affixed to the floor by removing the release paper from the adhesive on the underside of the paper, pressed into the intersections of the wall and floor and cut with a knife to conform to the periphery dimensions of the floor thereby creating a floor dimension pattern or template. The sheet vinyl or other sheet flooring material is then placed over the paper pattern or template in such a manner that it projects slightly up the wall. After it is laid out in this manner, the release paper is removed from the adhesive on the upper side of the paper pattern or template by picking up the sheet flooring from the paper pattern or template and pulling off the release strip. When the sheet flooring is placed down again, it bonds to the paper pattern or template. The adhesive strength of the top band of the paper pattern or template is greater than the under side adhesive band and therefore when the sheet flooring is picked up for trimming, the paper pattern or template releases from the floor and remains attached to the sheet flooring at the exact position it should be with respect to all points in the room. The sheet flooring is then cut at the outer edges of the paper pattern or template to obtain the exact dimensions of the room. The sheet flooring can then be placed down for final laying.
