There are plenty of floor laying power tools to help get the job done, but which ones are best?
You’ll want tools that are efficient and help you produce the highest quality workmanship.
Not only are you proud of your work, a high-quality job makes the difference between a floor covering that looks and functions well for many years and a one that can become a trip hazard in a few short years.
If you’re laying the flooring in a room exposed to moisture or it’s a hygienically sensitive room, you can’t skimp on high-quality grooving tools.
When it comes time to mill grooves for weld seams and grouts on resilient floor coverings (PVC, PE, PUR) and natural materials (rubber, linoleum), you’ll want a reliable milling cutter.
You’ll also appreciate one that doesn’t need plugging in and out every time you move to another room.
KEVMOR’S TOP CHOICE:
Leister Cordless Groover 500-LP
The Leister Cordless Groover has two rapid charging batteries, so there’s virtually no downtime, even on your busiest days.
The sensing roller maintains a constant groove depth on even or uneven surfaces. With a depth range between 0-6mm, it’s suitable for use on natural or plastic floor coverings.
It’s the welds that determine the quality of a floor laying job. And it’s the quality of the tools that can make all the difference. If it’s time for a new or upgraded welding tool, you can’t go past a Leister product.
KEVMOR’S TOP CHOICES:
Leister Unifloor ‘E’ Automatic Hot Air Welding Machine with Carry Case
When welding floor coverings made of PVC-P, PE, linoleum and modified thermoplastics, the Leister Hot Air Welding Machine delivers every time. The compact design has electronically controlled heating and welds all floor coverings without reconfiguration.
If you prefer a smaller sized gun, the Leister Welder is powerful yet lightweight for coving vinyl floor coverings. Vary the airflow and temperature as required in the flooring manufacturer’s guidelines.
You can’t lay new floor coverings if the old ones are still in place. Depending on the type of floor covering and their condition, stripping floors can be a nasty job. You want to get the old floors up with a minimum of hassle and the right tool can provide just that. Below are some of our top recommended and most popular floor removal machines at Kevmor.
