Can Vinyl Floorcloths be adhered to floors, walls, or ceilings?

Vinyl Floorcloths are marketed as accent rugs, however, Vinyl Floorcloths can be used in permanent applications as well.  

This is what Spicher & Co., the manufacturer, recommends for gluing the Vintage Vinyl floor cloths directly to the floor, wall, or ceiling. Please note that for wall or ceiling application, to prevent sliding,  the vinyl must be supported until the adhesive cures.

A flooring adhesive similar to this Henry 422 Premium adhesive. If you scroll to the bottom of the page it has a "Tech Info & Installation" page with more info and installation instructions.

The adhesive should be applied with a 2mm v notch trowel. 

Place the Vintage Vinyl on the adhesive, roll the vinyl into place to properly bond the vinyl into the adhesive. This is the type of roller we recommend.

A concrete or surface with a smooth hard troweled finish is recommended for Vintage Vinyl. If there are any voids in the concrete surface these should be spot filled with a smooth floor patch. Any rough raised areas should be flattened by grinding..  The concrete floor should be dry and should not be in an area that will be at risk of flooding or ongoing recurring dampness. The flooring can be applied with the Henry adhesive and V notched trowel that we recommend directly to the properly prepared concrete.
