Troubleshooting
Tiles won't adhere properly
Ensure the subfloor is properly prepared (clean, dry, level) and the correct adhesive has been used and applied according to manufacturer instructions. Check acclimatisation time.
Gaps between tiles
Ensure tiles are laid firmly into the adhesive and pressed down evenly. Check if subfloor is level, as unevenness can cause gaps. Trim tiles precisely if needed.
Surface scratches or scuffs
Use furniture pads on all furniture legs. Avoid dragging heavy items. Clean the floor regularly to remove abrasive grit. Minor scratches may be buffed out with a specialised vinyl floor polish.
Discoloration or staining
Clean spills immediately. Use only pH-neutral cleaners recommended for vinyl. Avoid rubber-backed mats or certain types of furniture feet that can cause staining.
