FAQs
Is the GoodHome Italo vinyl flooring truly waterproof?
The vinyl planks themselves are water-resistant, making them suitable for kitchens and bathrooms. However, ensure water does not seep into the joints or subfloor, as prolonged exposure can still cause damage.
Can I install this flooring over existing carpet?
No, this vinyl flooring requires a hard, smooth, and level subfloor. It cannot be installed directly over carpet.
How do I cut the vinyl tiles?
The tiles can be easily cut with a sharp utility knife. Score the surface firmly along your cut line, then carefully snap the tile along the score.
What is the warranty period for this product?
GoodHome Italo Click Vinyl Tiles come with a 25-year guarantee from the manufacturer.
Is this flooring suitable for a basement?
Yes, provided the basement subfloor is dry and level. Its moisture resistance makes it a good option for below-grade installations.
What kind of cleaning products should I use?
Use a damp mop with a mild, pH-neutral cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners, strong solvents, or excessive amounts of water.
How long should I let the flooring acclimatize before installation?
The flooring should be acclimatized in the room of installation for at least 48 hours before laying, stored flat in its original packaging.
Troubleshooting
Tiles won't click together securely.
Ensure the subfloor is perfectly level and free of debris. Check that the locking edges of the tiles are clean and undamaged. Make sure you are applying firm, even pressure when locking the tiles.
Gaps appearing between tiles.
This is often due to an uneven subfloor or insufficient pressure during installation. Revisit the affected area and ensure tiles are fully locked. If the subfloor is the issue, it may need re-leveling.
Scratches or scuffs on the surface.
For minor scuffs, try cleaning with a damp cloth and a mild cleaner. Deeper scratches may be difficult to remove; consider using furniture pads and avoiding dragging heavy items.
Moisture trapped under tiles.
Ensure proper ventilation and avoid excessive water during cleaning. If significant moisture is present, check for leaks and ensure the subfloor is adequately sealed if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
Acclimatization: Allow the vinyl tiles to acclimatize in the room where they will be installed for at least 48 hours prior to installation. Store them flat in their original packaging.
Subfloor Preparation: Ensure the subfloor is clean, dry, and perfectly level. Any imperfections greater than 2mm over a 1-meter radius should be smoothed out. Uneven subfloors can impact the click-lock mechanism.
Installation: Begin laying tiles from one corner of the room, ensuring the first row is straight. Angle the tongue of one tile into the groove of the next and press down firmly to lock them together. Use a utility knife to cut tiles to fit around edges and obstacles.
Compatibility:
Compatible with underfloor heating systems (follow specific heating system manufacturer guidelines for vinyl flooring).
Suitable for installation over existing hard flooring if it is level and well-adhered.
Not recommended for use in conservatories or areas with extreme temperature fluctuations without professional advice.
Care:
Clean regularly with a damp mop and a mild, pH-neutral detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive water.
Wipe up spills immediately to prevent staining.
Use furniture pads on the legs of heavy furniture to prevent scratches.
