1. Why Is Floor Grooving Essential for Vinyl & PVC Installation?
Grooving is not optional — it’s critical for long-lasting and professional-grade flooring installations. Proper seam grooving enables:
Strong welding joint adhesion
Prevents curling, separation, and water seepage
Creates a clean, visually appealing finish
Reduces post-installation maintenance
🚫 Manual grooving or using underpowered machines leads to uneven seams, inconsistent depth, and poor bonding — all unacceptable in commercial flooring.
2. Comparing Types of Floor Grooving Machines
| Type | Operation | Best For | Limitations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manual Hand Tools | Hand pressure + roller blade | DIY, small repairs | Labor-intensive, low accuracy |
| Standard Electric Groover | Fixed-depth, basic motor | Small to medium sites | Struggles on sloped or uneven floors |
| Self-Leveling Electric Groover (✅ Best Choice) | High-speed motor + self-leveling system | All professional scenarios | Slightly higher initial cost |
