Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) has many design options to choose from. Start by choosing a design – luxury vinyl can look like hardwood, ceramic, marble, stone, slate, and many other patterns. Then choose your details – borders, grout line, alternating colors – anything is possible to achieve with this option.

Vinyl flooring needs a good subfloor to create a product you’ll love and will wear well in the coming years. If your subfloor is in poor condition, the installer will typically lay a new subfloor over the existing one, skim coat over the existing subfloor to even it out, or remove the existing subfloor and replace with a new one. In any case, patchwork or other small preparation work is usually done prior to laying vinyl, including cleaning all debris, dirt and dust from the floor.

If sheet vinyl is installed, it will be cut into pieces for the best layout for your room. If you are having vinyl tiles or planks installed, the installer will decide where its best to begin for a natural look and flow. Depending on the type of flooring, the vinyl will either be glued, stapled or loose laid.

With many luxury vinyl tiles, special manufacturers epoxy adhesive is used to guarantee warranty and to provide you with the extra moisture protection. Make sure you understand the type of glue used and the conditions necessary to abide by the guidelines, and to keep your family safe in the process.
