I have installed vinyl on my backwall. It's been in service for two years now, I have some tips for you to consider:
- The glue you use should be a high temperature type for interiors. There are different types and even some of the hi-temp contact cements will not hold.
- I found the edges, if trimmed close to the carpet edge, tend to pull up when the glue softens or the vinyl shrinks. I ended up using a strip of aluminum to serve as a trim piece that doubles as a clamp.
- If you don't want the edges to have trim or some form of clamping device, lap your edges under the carpet three or four inches and let the carpet serve as a hold-down
It looks great, but isn't an easy install and can be problematic if not done properly.
