Frequently Asked Questions
How Do You Lay LVT Flooring?
To lay LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile) flooring, start with a clean, level subfloor. Most LVT products use a click-fit or glue-down system—click-fit is ideal for DIY fitting, while glue-down offers a more permanent solution. Begin laying from one corner, working tile by tile, and use spacers to allow for expansion. Always follow the manufacturer’s fitting instructions for best results.

How Do You Clean LVT Flooring?
To clean LVT flooring, regularly sweep or vacuum to remove dust and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a damp mop with a pH-neutral floor cleaner, avoid harsh chemicals, steam mops, or soaking the floor, as excess moisture can damage the surface. LVT is low-maintenance and easy to keep looking its best with simple, regular care.
What Does LVT Flooring Stand For?
LVT stands for Luxury Vinyl Tile. It’s a high-quality vinyl flooring option designed to replicate the look of natural materials like wood, stone, or ceramic, while offering enhanced durability, water resistance, and easy maintenance, making it ideal for both homes and commercial spaces.
How Do You Cut LVT Flooring?
To cut LVT flooring, score the surface using a sharp utility knife and a straight edge, then snap the tile along the scored line. For more precise cuts or curves, use a fine-tooth handsaw or vinyl cutter. Always measure carefully and cut on a stable surface for clean, accurate results.
Does LVT Need Underlay?
Whether LVT flooring needs underlay depends on the type. Click-fit LVT usually requires underlay for cushioning and sound reduction, while glue-down LVT is installed directly onto the subfloor without underlay. Always check the manufacturer's recommendation and ensure the subfloor is clean, dry, and level for the best results.
