Flash Cove & Heat Weld: A Dying Art, Perfected by Preferred Flooring

Flash cove and heat weld techniques represent the pinnacle of resilient flooring craftsmanship, offering seamless, durable, and hygienic solutions that are ideal for demanding commercial and healthcare environments. Yet, as these methods require significant skill and precision, they are becoming increasingly rare in the industry—a true dying art.

At Preferred Flooring, we take pride in keeping these essential techniques alive. Our team includes certifiers and certified professionals through the National Association of Floor Covering Technicians (NAFCT) and Certified Flooring Installers (CFI), ensuring the highest standards in every project. Flash coving creates a seamless extension of the flooring up the wall, preventing water, dirt, and bacteria from seeping into hard-to-clean corners and edges. Combined with expert heat welding, which securely fuses seams, this approach delivers unmatched durability, hygiene, and ease of maintenance.

With our specialized training and dedication to quality, we are the experts to trust when it comes to flash cove and heat weld installations. At Preferred Flooring, we don’t just install floors; we create long-lasting, high-performance surfaces that exceed industry standards and enhance any environment. If you’re looking for excellence in resilient flooring, let us show you why we’re the right choice.

Recognizing the need for fewer flash cove failures, we also introduced Stubbi Rollers to the U.S. from Australia—a tool designed to support the flawless execution of these techniques. Learn more about Stubbi Rollers and purchase them HERE.
