How to remove large wrinkle from vinyl flooring?
by Wendy Petrus
+2
Vinyl flooring has developed a large diagonal wrinkle across one third of room. Flooring is not cemented in this medium sized room. There is an old piano on the other end of the room which I cannot move by myself. Furniture on wrinkled end is lighter or on wheels. Wrinkled end is fitted around three doors and a corner. If I lift this end, how can I re-lay it without losing alignment with fitted areas? Is it possible to shrink vinyl somehow?

Try softening it with a hair dryer and easing it into place -

Sounds like your vinyl has stretched a little. Check the edge to see if there is enough room between the wall and the flooring to allow for expansion. If it too tight then trim a little to permit the vinyl to move so the wrinkle will stretch out. -
