            Sweep and vacuum the subfloor to remove all dust and debris. Ensure the subfloor is dry, level, and free of any grease or wax. Use a tape measure and chalk line to mark a straight layout line from the center of the room. Dry fit the vinyl flooring pieces to confirm layout and fit before applying adhesive. Use a notched trowel to spread vinyl adhesive evenly over a small section of the subfloor. Wait the recommended tack time per adhesive instructions before laying vinyl. Carefully place the vinyl flooring onto the adhesive, aligning it with your layout lines. Press the vinyl down firmly with your hands to ensure good contact with the adhesive. Use a floor roller to apply even pressure across the vinyl and remove air bubbles. Roll in multiple directions to ensure full adhesion and eliminate gaps. Wipe away any excess adhesive immediately with a damp cloth. Use a utility knife and straight edge to trim vinyl edges for a clean fit along walls. Repeat adhesive application and vinyl placement in sections until the floor is complete. Avoid walking on freshly glued vinyl until adhesive has set as per manufacturer instructions. Check for any lifting edges and press them down firmly or reapply adhesive if needed. Allow the adhesive to cure fully before placing furniture or rugs on the floor. Ventilate the room during and after installation to help adhesive fumes dissipate. Dispose of adhesive containers and used cloths according to local regulations. Clean tools immediately after use to prevent adhesive hardening. Inspect the finished floor for uniform adhesion and smooth seams.
