What is the warranty period?
The Expona Commercial Wood Effect LVT comes with a 10-year warranty.
Can I install this myself?
Glue-down installation requires careful subfloor preparation and precise application of adhesive. While DIY is possible for experienced individuals, professional installation is often recommended for a flawless finish and to ensure warranty compliance.
How thick is the tile?
The tile has a slim profile of 2.5mm.
What kind of adhesive should I use?
Always refer to the manufacturer's recommendations for the specific adhesive suitable for this LVT and your subfloor type. Using the wrong adhesive can compromise performance and void the warranty.
Troubleshooting
Tiles are lifting or not adhering properly
Ensure the subfloor was properly prepared, clean, and dry. Verify that the correct adhesive was used and applied according to manufacturer instructions. A floor roller may be needed to press tiles firmly into the adhesive.
Gaps between tiles
Ensure tiles are laid tightly against each other during installation. If minor gaps appear over time, they may indicate subfloor movement or improper initial fitting. Professional assessment might be required.
Scratches or deep gouges on the surface
While scratch-resistant, extreme force can cause damage. For minor scratches, check if a specific LVT repair polish can be used. For significant damage, individual tiles may need replacement.
Discoloration or staining
Wipe up spills immediately. For stubborn stains, use a recommended non-abrasive cleaner for LVT. Avoid prolonged contact with rubber-backed mats, as they can cause discoloration.
