I am proposing to lay Amtico vinyl tiles on my kitchen floor. Amtico recommend that you roll the tiles into the adhesive 1 -2 hours after laying, using a 100lb (45kg) tile roller. I have tried many tool sites but have been unable to locate such a tool. Does anyone out there know where I could purchase or hire one of these rollers?

Have you tried contacting Amtico themselves? See what and where they suggest.

Thanks anyway.

mike, you can hire from your local hss a grass roller. its plastic and lightweight to transport and then on the job you fill it with water and get the weight. hope this helps.

many yrs ago i did vinyl sheet & tiles

when a roller was not about and as a work around, we used the back end of the brush apply all your body pressure to it and walk in straight lines, this will bed the vinyl into the addy

however we use to do it more or less straight away not 2 hrs after
