LVT for Living Rooms, Bedrooms, and Hallways

I can’t stress this one enough! Having an area rug that can withstand food, drink and lots of foot traffic is really important, in our case pets too. Take some time to do a little extra research before making your purchase. Check to see if it has stain resistant properties and is recommended for higher traffic areas. I have seen plenty of rugs not hold up to the consistent use of space. You want to make sure your rug is sure to last. SmartStrand carpet has stain resistance built right into the fiber, so it will never wear or wash off. Those little accidents that happen from time to time have been no match to our new SmartStand area rug, our cats can attest to it.

Basements, Kitchens, and Bathrooms

Your friendly retailer will likely recommend LVT flooring for any homeowner looking for affordable, water-resistant flooring that doesn’t compromise on style. But for moisture-prone rooms like basements, kitchens, and bathrooms, it’s a must. If you’re considering a renovation project, you have the opportunity to choose a flooring product that’s waterproof and stylish! Why not choose luxury vinyl tile flooring? It is waterproof, the vinyl planks are easy to install over concrete, and it’s resistant to scuffs and scratches.

Luxury Vinyl Tile Flooring Installation

While LVT is relatively quick and easy to install, there are a few things you need to do to before your installers arrive to ensure that the installation goes smoothly:

  • Remove all furniture and appliances from the room, including wall and doorway trim, and undercut any door casings.
  • Take care of any repairs to the subfloors before installing new flooring; make sure the flooring surface is clean, flat, dry and free of debris.
  • If you’re renovating the space, be sure to have your cabinets installed before installing luxury vinyl—don’t install cabinets on top of the flooring.
  • Your luxury vinyl floors need to acclimate to the new environment for 48 hours, so you should have new flooring delivered to your home at least two days before installation.
  • Always examine your new flooring for damage or defects before installation and be sure to read the approved installation instructions and warranty information.

 

Now, sit back and let professional installers take care of the rest!
