FAQs

Is this LVT suitable for bathrooms?

Yes, its water-resistant properties make it an excellent choice for bathrooms, kitchens, and other moisture-prone areas.

Can I install this over existing vinyl flooring?

Generally, yes, provided the existing vinyl flooring is well-adhered, smooth, and level. It is crucial to ensure the subfloor remains stable and free of moisture.

How do I clean the surface?

Regular sweeping or vacuuming is recommended. For cleaning, use a damp mop with water. A mild, pH-neutral cleaner can be used occasionally, but avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

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.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Subfloor Preparation: Ensure the subfloor is clean, dry, smooth, and level. Any imperfections must be rectified before installation.
  2. Acclimatization: Allow the LVT tiles to acclimatize in the room where they will be installed for at least 48 hours before fitting.
  3. Adhesive Application: Apply a suitable vinyl flooring adhesive evenly to the subfloor using the manufacturer's recommended trowel.
  4. Tile Placement: Lay the tiles firmly into the adhesive, ensuring no gaps. Roll the floor with a heavy floor roller after installation for optimal adhesion.

Compatibility:

  • This LVT is designed for glue-down installation on concrete, wood, or existing suitable hard flooring subfloors.
  • It is not compatible with underfloor heating systems unless specifically approved by the adhesive and LVT manufacturer for such use.
  • Check with a flooring professional for compatibility with other specific subfloor types or renovation scenarios.

Care:

  • Daily Cleaning: Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove dust and grit.
  • Damp Mopping: For tougher dirt, use a damp mop with water. A mild, non-abrasive cleaning solution can be used sparingly if necessary.
  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or strong solvents, as they can damage the surface.
  • Protect from Furniture: Use felt pads on furniture legs to prevent scratching.
