Summary
A craftsman who installs plastic flooring materials such as vinyl tiles and long sheets on floors in buildings, commercial facilities, medical facilities, etc., and handles interior finishing.
Description
Plastic floor installers are specialists who apply plastic flooring materials such as vinyl chloride tiles and long sheets to indoor floors of buildings. First, they smooth the floor substrate to eliminate unevenness, apply adhesive, and place the flooring material cut to size. Seam areas are heat-welded using a welding machine and pressed with a roller to prevent bubbles or misalignment. After finishing, they perform cleaning and protection work to achieve a highly water-resistant and durable floor surface. On-site, they divide tasks among teams and often collaborate with supervisors and other trades.
Future Outlook
Demand for flooring materials resistant to water and chemicals is increasing in hospitals, commercial facilities, and public facilities, and job openings for plastic floor installers remain stable. In the future, acquisition of specialized knowledge will be required in conjunction with the adoption of high-performance materials and environmentally friendly materials.
