Have questions about vinyl flooring? Here are some frequently asked questions from our customers!
Can I use a wet mop on my vinyl flooring?Yes! Most luxury vinyl products are water-resistant, if not waterproof. You can use a wet mop to clean your vinyl floor, but you shouldn't let puddles sit! Standing water could cause damage. Be sure to dry your floors promptly if any puddles occur.
What's the difference between vinyl and linoleum?Linoleum is a natural product made from linseed oil while vinyl is synthetic. Because of this linoleum is often considered more eco-friendly. Both are available in sheet or tile forms and are considered resilient flooring.
What do LVT or LVP mean?These acronyms actually refer to the same thing—just in different forms. Both are luxury vinyl products. LVT stands for luxury vinyl tile, made to look and feel like ceramic or stone tile flooring. LVP stands for luxury vinyl plank, made to look and feel like natural hardwood.
Can I install vinyl over my existing floors?Yes! New vinyl floors can be installed over existing tile, provided that the surface is secure and smooth. You may first need to level the tile with a special compound, however.
