Which Steinel Heat Gun Should I Use for Flooring? A Complete Guide 

Heat guns are useful for a range of professional flooring tasks, particularly welding vinyl and linoleum, working with thermoplastic materials and activating or removing certain adhesives. Steinel specifically lists welding PVC floor coverings and linoleum among the applications for its professional hot-air tools.  

But which Steinel model should you choose? Here's a breakdown of some of the options available from Floormart. 

Steinel HG2320 Welding Tool 

The Steinel HG2320 is a professional handheld option suited to flooring installers carrying out hot-air welding and general heat applications. 

It offers adjustable temperature and airflow, allowing the installer to control the heat according to the material and application. 

Best for: General professional flooring and vinyl welding applications. 

Steinel HG2420E Welding Gun 

The Steinel HG2420E is another professional welding option available in 110V, making it particularly relevant for site use where 110V equipment is required. Floormart currently lists the HG2420E alongside its other professional Steinel flooring tools.  

Best for: Professional site work and regular resilient-floor welding. 

Steinel HM2600 E 

The HM2600 E is available from Floormart in 240V and sits within Steinel's professional hot-air range.  

Rather than being limited to one flooring task, it's suited to installers looking for a professional hot-air tool for a variety of applications. 

Best for: Professional hot-air applications where a 240V tool is preferred. 

Steinel HM2620 E 

The HM2620 E is another 240V professional option available from Floormart.  

The 2620 platform is designed for intensive professional use, with precise temperature and airflow control making it particularly relevant where consistency is important. 

Best for: Regular, demanding professional hot-air work. 

Steinel MobileHeat 7 

For jobs where access to mains power is inconvenient, the Steinel MobileHeat 7 provides a cordless alternative. Floormart currently stocks the MobileHeat 7 alongside its corded Steinel tools.  

The main advantage here is portability, allowing installers to use hot air without being connected to a mains supply. 

Best for: Portable hot-air work and jobs where cordless operation is useful. 

Which Steinel Tool Should I Choose? 

The right tool ultimately depends on how frequently you'll use it, the level of temperature and airflow control required, whether you need 110V or 240V and whether cordless operation would be useful. 

Don't Forget the Accessories 

For vinyl welding, the heat gun is only one part of the setup. You may also need a compatible speed welding nozzle, grooving tool, welding rod and weld trimming tool. 

Floormart stocks Steinel hot-air tools alongside professional welding accessories and equipment for vinyl and resilient-floor installation.
