Luxury Vinyl Tile Installation

A majority of luxury vinyl tile products offer floating floor capability, which means you will most likely avoid needing a completely level subfloor to ensure the best finished results. If your luxury vinyl tile is a glue-down product, you may need to have any imperfections or irregularities repaired when the subfloor is assessed.

On your actual luxury vinyl tile installation day, an adult will need to be home during the process to answer any questions that may arise from the installers. This is also your prime opportunity to ask any questions you may have or point out any considerations that have come to mind.

Designate a specific area in the home for your luxury vinyl tile installation crew to keep tools that are potentially dangerous like saws and tapping blocks, as well as to cut pieces as needed. Make sure that all children and pets are kept away from the worker’s area and the rooms receiving new luxury vinyl tile.

Your installers will specify the wait period before you can walk on the new luxury vinyl tile and return new furniture, and floating floors are often ready for foot traffic right away! When returning heavy furniture items, always pick them up or use rolling equipment to move them, and place felt pads under the legs to reduce impact.
