    As has been mentioned most is available in 12' width. However it is also available in 13' 6" and 14' 6". it is commonly used in mobile homes and manufactured housing. contact your local mobile home distributor and ask if you can purchase through them often it is cheaper than the local discount lumber yard.

    search "wide vinyl" there are several suppliers in Georgia and the freight is not that bad. Avoid seeming if at all possible if you have an installer who tells you they can seam it ask them for a replacement guarantee and see how fast they run!

    Vinyl flooring comes in a standard width of 12 feet, it is on rolls so there is no set length. You have to join it if you need it wider than 12 ft.

    You can't order vinyl flooring in special sizes. The manufacturers don't make it. Properly installed the joints are virtually invisible.

    Have you thought about using vinyl tiles instead? they are easier to install yourself.

    Most standard vinyl comes in 12-foot sheets. You didn't say how wide the room is. I don't suppose you could get lucky and flip the roll the other way to make it cover? if not, you could have a professional seam it. Sometimes the vinyl seam will be invisible and seaming shouldn't cost too much.

    Yes you can put adhesive on the MDF. MDF is ideal for this type of application. However, your choice of 15 mm may not be stiff enough. If it flexes at the joints between the sheets... thats going to show up in the vinyl, possibly as tears, if youve glued it down, stretch marks, at least. A couple of tips... any seams between the MDF sheets that have a gap over 1/16" (thats about 1.58 millimeters) need to be filled with a putty that dries hard. Also cover any sunken screw heads (after sinking any that were not flush). If you apply the putty smoothly enough, then you wont need to sand it much, afterwards, just knock down any ridge left by the knife. (use a wide putty knife) I'll note here that I really hope you used screws and not nails to put the subfloor down... if you used nails, they are going to back out on you, and be a problem later. Also, I would suggest that you just glue around the perimeter, or just staple the vinyl down, along the perimeter (staple close to the wall and the trim will cover the staple) For vinyl replacement, I cut the old vinyl out around the perimeter, and use that as the template to trim out the new vinyl. I cut the new a little over an inch larger(1"=about 25mm) than the old. You might want to go 2" since this is your first time. With a new installation, you can cut to fit (sometimes fighting it around corners, hehe) or you can use a roll of kraft paper to make a template. Simply roll the paper out, and tape it together at the joints. Whether you staple the vinyl, glue around the perimeter, or glue the entire thing... you should let it lay on the floor overnight, to flatten out. I usually find that when I cut one to fit, after letting it lay overnight, I need to cut another 1/8" to 1/4" total off the perimeter. It also lets me see where there might be a bind at a corner, before it is secured. I like to use a strip of metal tape, around the lip of a duct vent. Apply the tape so that it will still be under the vent cover, on the vinyl, and fold it down into the duct. This keeps any air from getting under the vinyl oh...you'll want to seal off the vent temporarily while installing the vinyl, hehehe.. or it will blow it up like a balloon, hehehe. I mentioned when replacing vinyl floor coverings, I use the old as a template... I do this by laying out some plastic on a flat surface to keep the new vinyl clean underneath. Unroll the new vinyl on top of the plastic, then unroll the old vinyl on top of the new. This lets me align the old on top of the new to get the best layout for the pattern on it... I can move the old around a bit here and there, to get any 'tile square' look to come out more evenly, than if I'd just laid it in and started cutting. If you decide to glue the whole thing down, you'll want to rent a roller to help spread it out. Oh, the adhesive is made just for vinyl sheet flooring... you can find it where you bought the vinyl, or any building supply store.. just tell them what you are looking for. The 'sheet vinyl' adhesive tends to be a bit 'thinner' than the 'square tile' adhesive. It also needs a trowel with smaller grooves. What size trowel grooves will be specified on the adhesive container. Oh yes, be sure to clean really well, before laying the new vinyl .... any small chips or other debris, will telegraph thru the vinyl, hehehe. I usually sweep at least twice, in my sock feet, to make sure Ive got it clean. (in sock feet, it is easier to feel those little chips...small enough you can't see them on the MDF, but they would definitely show up as a hump in the vinyl) Feel free to holler if youve any questions, be happy to help if I can. Have Fun

    That shouldn't be a problem, but you may have to spend more for it. Try a specialty flooring store, rather than Home Depot.

    If I can remember right,they come in twelve and fourteen ft. Than they cut how many feet you need. Remember,when you measure , it's length ,times width to get your square footage.
