If you aren\u2019t, you should be. LVP has take then flooring industry by storm over the past 10 years due to its durability, ease of installation, and relative cost effectiveness. This blog underlines some things to look for when selecting an LVP product and a crew to handle the installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"separators-custom-box  \"  >\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cta_title\" \n\t\t\t\t\t\t>Hire the Best Flooring Experts<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t            <a href=\"\/contact-us\/\"   class=\"c-btn -normal -primary \">\n                <span class=\"c-btn__bg\"><\/span><span class=\"c-btn__inner\"><span class=\"c-btn__txt\">Contact Us<\/span><\/span>\n            <\/a>\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_Look_for_in_a_Vinyl_Plank_Product\"><\/span>What to Look for in a Vinyl Plank Product<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Is_it_a_floating_floor_or_a_glue-down_product\"><\/span>1. Is it a floating floor or a glue-down product?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Floating plank usually consists of a hard composite stone core so the pieces are rigid. They\u2019re installed with a click-lock system and are fastened to each other but are not technically fastened to the floor. A glue-down product is exactly that, glued down. Glue-down plank is the most commonly used hard-surface flooring material in the rental industry<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Wear_Layer\"><\/span>2. Wear Layer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The wear layer is the thickness of the hard plastic coating on the face of the plank and is measured in \u2018mils\u2019. The wear layer is directly associated with the durability and longevity of the plank. The thicker the wear layer, the more durable the plank. The most common wear layers in the rental industry are 6mil, 8mil, 12mil, and 20mil. Thicker wear layers are available but are overkill for a rental home. Most homes feature 6-12mil planks while 20mil is common in commercial buildings or common areas at multifamily communities<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Manufacturer\"><\/span>3. Manufacturer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most major flooring manufacturers in the US feature their own lines of vinyl plank. The majority of them offering the same technical specs but with their own variations on color and sales strategy. Using a reputable manufacturer is important. Large manufacturers have procedures around quality control, claims, and logistics that many small manufacturers or independent importers do not. You don\u2019t want to be left paying for manufacturer defects or stranded without material.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1096\" height=\"612\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rmiflooring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/single-family-vinyl-plank-flooring-rm.jpg\" alt=\"Vinyl Plank flooring\" class=\"wp-image-708\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rmiflooring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/single-family-vinyl-plank-flooring-rm.jpg 1096w, https:\/\/rmiflooring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/single-family-vinyl-plank-flooring-rm-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rmiflooring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/single-family-vinyl-plank-flooring-rm-1024x572.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rmiflooring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/single-family-vinyl-plank-flooring-rm-768x429.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rmiflooring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/single-family-vinyl-plank-flooring-rm-400x223.jpg 400w, https:\/\/rmiflooring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/single-family-vinyl-plank-flooring-rm-200x112.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1096px) 100vw, 1096px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">LVP comes in all shapes and sizes but is typically specified based on 3 major categories.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vinyl_Plank_Installation_Floor_Prep_Best_Practices\"><\/span>Vinyl Plank Installation Floor Prep Best Practices<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most important factors in a successful LVP install is the prep. First, clean and level the subfloor to eliminate any imperfections that might affect the final result. You don\u2019t want to see cracks in the subfloor or have ridges in your floors. Second, in some climates it is crucial to allow the vinyl planks to acclimate. Vinyl is a petroleum product that expands and contracts based on temperature and humidity. If the weather is extremely hot or cold prior to installation, make sure the planks are allowed to acclimate to the indoor temperature before installing. Improper acclimation will lead to expansion and buckling and contraction and gaps in your floors. Additionally, you flooring may require an underlayment. Most floating floors come with an attached pad or underlayment to help deaden sound, but glue-down plank may also require an underlayment that acts as a moisture barrier from the subfloor. CAUTION: Since prep is such an important part of an LVP installation but is very case-by-case, many contractors use the \u2018Floor Prep\u2019 item line on their invoices to hide some margin and run up your cost. Be very specific and thorough in the questions you ask your contractors about what kind of prep you need in your units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_Practices_for_Installing_Vinyl_Plank_Flooring\"><\/span>Best Practices for Installing Vinyl Plank Flooring<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With pre-installation preparation complete, the focus shifts to the installation itself. Glue-down plank is installed by putting down a couple rows of adhesive and then laying planks in on top of it. Floating plank pieces are clicked into one another with a tongue and groove system. Neither product should be installed in a unit that doesn\u2019t have working AC\/heat. If you don\u2019t have power turned on in a unit, don\u2019t put the LVP in. You\u2019ll pay for the job twice when the glue fails or the plank buckles. Depending on the size of the area being installed, floating floors should have transitions in the doorways to keep large areas from binding and buckling as the floors shift over time. Baseboards should also be removed and replaced or shoemold should be installed after the flooring installation is complete to hide the gaps between the planks and the walls. Installing vinyl plank is pretty simple so a lot of contractors do it. Like with every trade, it\u2019s good idea to make sure you\u2019re getting what you\u2019re paying for. Stop by a unit as its being installed to make sure your contractors are installing the right product with the correct wear layer and color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"separators-custom-box  \"  >\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cta_title\" \n\t\t\t\t\t\t>Hire the Best Flooring Experts<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t            <a href=\"\/contact-us\/\"   class=\"c-btn -normal -primary \">\n                <span class=\"c-btn__bg\"><\/span><span class=\"c-btn__inner\"><span class=\"c-btn__txt\">Contact Us<\/span><\/span>\n            <\/a>\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"698\" height=\"603\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rmiflooring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/RM-interiors-interiors-national-flooring-partner.jpg\" alt=\"RM Interiors National Flooring Partner\" class=\"wp-image-709\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rmiflooring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/RM-interiors-interiors-national-flooring-partner.jpg 698w, https:\/\/rmiflooring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/RM-interiors-interiors-national-flooring-partner-300x259.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rmiflooring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/RM-interiors-interiors-national-flooring-partner-347x300.jpg 347w, https:\/\/rmiflooring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/RM-interiors-interiors-national-flooring-partner-200x173.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 698px) 100vw, 698px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you aren\u2019t familiar with LVP or you\u2019re committed to sheet vinyl or tile, be open to doing some research.
