Luxury vinyl flooring (LVF) is an affordable, stylish alternative to genuine materials like wood, stone, and tile. It's also 100% waterproof, ultra-durable, and low maintenance.
Luxury vinyl flooring?is ideal for any room in the house. That includes basements, sun porches, and anywhere installed over a concrete subfloor.
Those areas are known for dampness, humidity, and sometimes heat. Always install in a temperature-controlled room and employ a simple pre-installation technique.
Why acclimate?
All luxury vinyl flooring has microscopic air holes; you can?t see these air holes, but they circulate air.?
Luxury vinyl tile and vinyl plank flooring expand when the air is humid.
Acclimation will keep your flooring in top shape.
First, have it delivered several days before the actual installation.
Then lie the pieces side-by-side in the room where it's to be installed? for three days before installation.
This process aligns the product's moisture levels with those in your house.?
Especially important for floating floors
This is a typical installation process for luxury vinyl flooring. The pieces click to the mat, then hover over the subfloor.
Remember, the luxury vinyl floor isn't affixed to anything. That means the installer is especially mindful of balance regarding your vinyl flooring in Grass Valley, CA.
The slightest movement can alter the floor and affect both appearance and performance.
What about heat?
It's vital to have adequate window coverings. Over 70% of the sunlight that comes through windows becomes heat.
Be sure window coverings are drawn, especially during the sun?s most powerful time, usually mid-day.?
Almost all window treatments can be motorized today. Consider this, especially if you?re away from home during those times.
