Subfloor Guidelines & Room Conditions Matter
LVT can be installed over many types of subfloors—including dry concrete, wood, and existing hard surfaces. Just make sure the area is:
- Flat: No dips greater than 1/16” in 3’
- Clean and dry: Moisture barriers are recommended for concrete
- Stable: Avoid particle board or unstable subfloors with movement or deflection
- Conditioned: Acclimate flooring at 65–85°F for 48 hours before and after install
- Compatible: Do not install over cushioned vinyl, ramps, or under cabinets

Know Where and How It Works Best
What to Consider for Room-Specific Installations
LVT performs great in kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and living spaces. However, special care should be taken in these areas:
- Bathrooms: Use silicone caulking around wet areas like tubs and showers
- Stairs: LVT is not recommended for staircases
- Radiant Heat: Safe if subfloor does not exceed 85°F—gradually adjust temps
- Transitions & Finishing: Always leave ¼” expansion gaps around walls and fixtures and use trim to cover gaps

Luxury Vinyl Flooring FAQs – What Homeowners Ask Most
Can I install luxury vinyl over tile or old flooring?
Yes, LVT can float over many hard surfaces like ceramic tile, vinyl, or existing hardwood, as long as the floor is flat, dry, and free of major movement or damage.
Why is my vinyl floor lifting at the edges?
This could be caused by subfloor moisture, improper acclimation, or lack of expansion space. Make sure installation follows proper guidelines for temperature and spacing.
Is luxury vinyl really waterproof?
While LVT is highly moisture-resistant and great for kitchens or bathrooms, it doesn’t block moisture from underneath. A moisture barrier is recommended over concrete subfloors.
What’s the best way to clean LVT flooring?
Sweep regularly and use a damp mop with clean water or diluted cleaner made for vinyl. Avoid harsh chemicals, waxes, or steam cleaning.
Can I put heavy furniture or appliances on luxury vinyl?
Yes—but use wide, non-staining floor protectors and avoid dragging items. Furniture with rolling casters should have soft rubber wheels or sit on protective mats.
Does LVT need to be sealed or waxed?
No sealing or waxing is needed. LVT comes with a protective top layer that’s stain- and scuff-resistant right out of the box.
