What is a Weld Rod in Flooring ?

Weld rods are used to secure the junction between 2 rolls of resilient flooring and to prevent dirt and moisture from getting under two rolls of flooring.

A variety of weld rods exists to answer all the possible uses. For example, a Vinyl welding rod is made from PVC whereas a welding rod for Linoleum flooring is made from a thermal plastic material that needs to be installed differently. Choosing the right welding rod is necessary to avoid bad welds. Each welding rod also has a specific installation method. And all will increase the lifespan of the overall flooring by being strong seam sealers. 

Vinyl and Linoleum welding rods are available in a range of colors designed to complement or enhance the final product.
