Cutting and fitting each piece is a relatively easy process as they simply snap, click, or lock together. For further assistance with installation, we recommend referencing the manufacturer\u2019s product information for detailed installation instructions. With the right tools and materials, even first-time DIYers should be able to achieve a professional-looking finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:46px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Where to Install Luxury Vinyl Flooring<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:28px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Luxury vinyl flooring is a highly versatile option that can be installed in virtually any space within residential and commercial buildings. Each waterproof plank is designed for maximum comfort and durability, featuring a thicker construction and reinforced wear layers that resist scratches, dents and stains. This makes luxury vinyl floors perfect for high-traffic areas that are prone to increased wear and tear, from kitchens, mudrooms   and laundry rooms to gyms, office spaces and lobbies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:49px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Materials to Use Underneath Luxury Vinyl Flooring<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:28px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Most luxury vinyl flooring does not require underlayment. However, moisture barriers and foam padding are commonly used to offer added protection and comfort. We recommend consulting an installation expert at one of our showrooms and the manufacturer&#8217;s product information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:62px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">How to Clean Luxury Vinyl Flooring<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:27px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Sweep or vacuum luxury vinyl floors to quickly remove dirt and prevent scratches from larger particles. Wipe down your vinyl planks or tiles with a damp cloth or mop and a gentle cleaning solution (E.G. A mild detergent mixed with hot water and white vinegar). Do not use harsh chemicals like bleach, ammonia or cleansers containing these ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:34px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Luxury Vinyl Flooring vs. Traditional Tile <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:24px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to apples and oranges, luxury vinyl flooring and traditional tile floors both come with their advantages. Both are comprised of long-lasting materials that offer timeless visual appeals. We recommend speaking with a tile expert at your local Tile Shop to determine which option is right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:31px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Ready to start shopping for your new go-to flooring product?
