Troubleshooting
Planks are difficult to lock together.
Ensure the locking mechanisms on both planks are clean and free of debris. Check for any damage to the click system. Ensure planks are at the correct angle for engagement.
Gaps appearing between planks.
Verify that the subfloor is perfectly level. Gently tap the planks together with a tapping block and hammer to ensure a tight seam. Make sure no debris is trapped in the locking system.
Scratches or scuffs on the surface.
Use a soft cloth and a manufacturer-approved LVT cleaner. For persistent marks, try a cleaner specifically designed for vinyl. Protect furniture legs with felt pads to prevent future scratches.
Buckling or unevenness.
This often indicates an issue with the subfloor or expansion gaps. Ensure the subfloor is level and adequate expansion gaps are maintained around the perimeter of the room and any fixed objects.
