Luxury Vinyl Installation: What to Expect
1. Preparation
Proper preparation is the key to a successful luxury vinyl installation. Our team will assess your space and check the condition of the subfloor. This will help determine if any repairs or leveling are needed.
We will also measure the area to calculate the exact amount of luxury vinyl flooring required. This will help us make sure we have the right amount of materials.
2. Removing the Baseboard
Before installing luxury vinyl flooring, we remove the baseboard. We want to create a clean edge and allow for a seamless installation. This step also helps to maintain the proper expansion gap around the perimeter of the room. The expansion gap accommodates the natural movement of the flooring.
3. Subfloor Preparation
A clean, dry, and level subfloor is essential for a successful installation. Our team will ensure the subfloor is properly prepared. We'll take care of any necessary repairs to provide a stable foundation for the luxury vinyl flooring.
4. Laying the Floor
Luxury vinyl flooring typically features click lock or other locking mechanisms that make it easy to install. Our installers will lay the flooring planks or tiles according to the installation instructions. We will ensure a precise fit and professional finish. We use a utility knife to cut the planks or tiles as needed to fit around obstacles and edges.
5. Locking Mechanisms
The click lock system is a popular choice for luxury vinyl installation due to its ease of use and secure fit. This system allows the flooring planks or tiles to lock together without the need for glue or nails. Floating floors can expand and contract with changes in temperature and humidity.
6. Grouting (if necessary)
When choosing luxury vinyl tile, grouting may be required. This is because it gives the look of stone or tile and you will want a realistic appearance. Our team will carefully apply grout to fill the spaces between tiles, ensuring a uniform and polished look.
