Troubleshooting
LVT is lifting or peeling at the edges.
Check the adhesive bond. Ensure the subfloor was properly prepared and the correct adhesive was used and applied according to instructions. Re-adhere any loose sections with appropriate flooring adhesive.
Gaps appearing between planks.
This can occur if the planks were not firmly pressed into the adhesive or if the subfloor is uneven. Ensure proper installation technique and subfloor leveling.
Scratches or scuffs on the surface.
While scratch-resistant, deep scratches can occur. For minor scuffs, try cleaning with a damp cloth and mild cleaner. For deeper scratches, consult repair kits specific to LVT.
Discoloration or fading.
Avoid prolonged direct sunlight without UV protection (e.g., blinds or curtains), which can cause fading over time. Use appropriate cleaners and avoid harsh chemicals.
Moisture damage or swelling.
Wipe up standing water immediately. Ensure the subfloor is adequately protected from moisture, especially in areas prone to high humidity or spills.

Underfloor Heating: Compatible with most radiant electric and hydronic underfloor heating systems. Consult specific heating system manufacturer guidelines for maximum temperature limits.
Care:
Daily Cleaning: Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove dust and grit.
Damp Mopping: For tougher dirt, use a damp mop with water or a pH-neutral floor cleaner. Avoid excessive water.
