Imperfections in the subfloor may be more prominent after the vinyl installation. Before the installation, lay out the vinyl to get a feel for the pattern and colours. You want to make sure you will achieve the desired appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is luxury vinyl flooring (LVP)?

Luxury vinyl flooring has evolved from traditional sheet vinyl into a flexible, durable option. It's made from a high-quality vinyl core and comes in both plank (LVP) and tile (LVT) formats. With easy glue-down or click-lock installation, it's highly moisture-resistant, and many options are waterproof, offering excellent scratch and stain protection for any room.

How does vinyl flooring compare to laminate flooring?

Both vinyl and laminate flooring are durable and affordable, offering a variety of styles to suit your taste. Vinyl flooring stands out for being more water-resistant and quieter underfoot. Laminate, however, can provide a more authentic wood look and feel.

Is vinyl flooring waterproof?

Vinyl is naturally waterproof, and luxury vinyl flooring is backed by warranties. Waterproof LVP and LVT have locking mechanisms to prevent water from seeping through. The best waterproof protection is with wood-plastic composite (WPC) or solid polymer core (SPC) constructions.

Can vinyl flooring be installed over existing floors?

In most cases, vinyl flooring can be installed over existing floors, including tile, laminate, and hardwood, as long as the surface is clean, dry, and level. However, consulting with our installation experts is essential to ensure the best results for your specific situation.

How do I maintain and clean vinyl flooring?

Luxury vinyl flooring is easy to clean and is suitable for homes with kids and pets. Just wipe up most spills as they happen and use a pH-neutral cleaner for dried spills. There is no need for steam cleaning, vacuums, brushes, steel wool, or ammonia cleaners. Simply use a soft nylon brush, a manufacturer-approved cleaner, and water to treat spots and stains.

Is vinyl flooring environmentally friendly?

Many vinyl flooring options are now made with environmentally friendly materials and processes. To ensure a healthier indoor environment, look for products that are labeled as low-VOC (volatile organic compounds) and phthalate-free.

How long does vinyl flooring last?

Proper installation and maintenance allow luxury vinyl flooring to last 10 to 25 years under normal household conditions. The product warranty varies among different products, and more extended warranties often come at a higher cost. High-quality underlayment can help your luxury vinyl floors resist wear and enhance performance.

Can vinyl flooring be used with underfloor heating?

Yes, many vinyl flooring products are compatible with underfloor heating systems. However, it's essential to check the manufacturer's guidelines to ensure that the specific vinyl product you choose is suitable for use with underfloor heating.

Can vinyl flooring fade in sunlight?

While modern vinyl flooring is designed to be more resistant to fading, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause some fading over time. To minimize this, use window treatments or area rugs to protect your floors from intense sunlight.

Is vinyl flooring better than laminate?

Vinyl flooring is 100% waterproof, making it a better choice for moisture-prone areas. On the other hand, laminate flooring is less prone to scratches and dents, offering its own unique advantages.
