What is laminated vinyl flooring?

Laminated vinyl flooring, also known as luxury vinyl planks, is a versatile and popular flooring option that has gained significant popularity in recent years. It is a synthetic flooring material that combines the benefits of laminate and vinyl to create a durable and visually appealing product. Laminated vinyl flooring typically consists of multiple layers, including a wear layer, a decorative layer, a core layer, and a backing layer. The wear layer provides protection against scratches, stains, and wear, while the decorative layer replicates the look of natural materials like hardwood, stone, or tile. The core layer, often made of composite materials or rigid vinyl, gives the flooring stability and strength. The backing layer adds stability and moisture resistance. Laminated vinyl flooring is known for its exceptional durability, water resistance, and ease of maintenance. It is available in a wide range of designs, colours, and patterns, making it suitable for various design preferences and interior styles. Whether for residential or commercial spaces, our laminated vinyl flooring in Randburg, Sandton and Sunninghill offers an affordable, practical, and visually appealing flooring solution.

How is laminated vinyl flooring installed?

Luxury vinyl flooring or planks can be installed using different methods, depending on the specific product and the subfloor conditions. Here are the most common installation methods for luxury vinyl flooring:

• Floating Installation: This method involves laying the luxury vinyl planks directly on top of the subfloor without any adhesive. The planks are typically designed with a click-lock system that allows them to fit together securely. The floating installation method is popular due to its ease and quick installation time.
• Glue-Down Installation: In this method, luxury vinyl planks are adhered directly to the subfloor using a specific adhesive. The adhesive is spread onto the subfloor using a trowel, and the planks are then placed onto the adhesive, ensuring a secure bond. Glue-down installation provides a stable and durable result, particularly suitable for high-traffic areas.

Regardless of the installation method chosen, it’s crucial to properly prepare the subfloor beforehand. The subfloor should be clean, level, and free from any debris or imperfections that may affect the installation or performance of the luxury vinyl flooring. It’s also important to acclimate the planks to the installation environment by allowing them to adjust to the temperature and humidity conditions for a specified period, as recommended by the manufacturer.
