Frequently Asked Questions About Vinyl
What types of vinyl flooring do we offer?
We offer the full spectrum of vinyl flooring products, including luxury vinyl tile (LVT), luxury vinyl plank (LVP), sheet vinyl, and vinyl composite tile (VCT). Our selection includes products from leading manufacturers featuring various thicknesses, wear layers, and installation methods to suit different applications and budgets. We can guide you through choosing the perfect option for your specific needs.
How long will our vinyl flooring last?
With proper installation and maintenance, the vinyl flooring we install typically lasts 10-20 years for quality products. Our premium luxury vinyl options often carry warranties of 15+ years for residential use. The longevity depends on several factors including the quality of the product, thickness of the wear layer, traffic levels, and maintenance practices. We'll help you select a product that matches your durability expectations.
Is vinyl flooring waterproof?
Yes! Most of the vinyl flooring we install is 100% waterproof, making it an excellent choice for bathrooms, kitchens, basements, and laundry rooms. Our luxury vinyl products prevent water from seeping through to the subfloor, protecting your home from potential water damage. However, we recommend promptly cleaning spills and ensuring proper installation around fixtures to maintain optimal moisture protection.
How does our vinyl installation process work?
Our vinyl installation process begins with a thorough assessment of your subfloor to ensure it's clean, level, and dry. Depending on the product you choose, we may install an appropriate underlayment to enhance comfort and acoustics. For sheet vinyl, we precisely measure and cut to fit your space with minimal seams. For luxury vinyl planks or tiles, we follow manufacturer specifications for acclimation and installation method (floating, glue-down, or click-lock). We pay special attention to details like transitions between rooms and finishing around fixtures. Most residential installations can be completed within 1-3 days, and in many cases, the flooring can be walked on immediately after installation.
