FAQs

The following are commonly asked questions about our luxury vinyl flooring in Ottawa.

• Can I Use Luxury Vinyl Flooring in Any Room?
  Yes, you can install luxury vinyl flooring in any room in your home because of its water resistance and ease of maintenance. It can also be laid over any even subfloor.
   

• Are Linoleum and Vinyl Flooring Identical?
  No, they're not! Both types of flooring are resilient, but they are made from entirely different materials.
   

• Can I Place a Vinyl Plank on Hardwood?
  Absolutely! As mentioned above, you can install it over any subfloor as long as it is even, including hardwood.
   

• Is There Scratch-proof Vinyl Flooring?
  Vinyl is highly resistant, which means it can withstand scratches, smudges, fading, and stains. You can increase the thickness of your vinyl flooring's wear layer to increase its scratch resistance.
   

• What Is Luxury Vinyl Flooring Made Of?
  Luxury vinyl flooring consists of multiple layers: a protective wear layer, a printed image layer, a core layer (flexible or rigid), and a backing layer. These materials contribute to the flooring's durability and realistic appearance.

• Is Luxury Vinyl Flooring Environmentally Friendly?
  Many luxury vinyl products are manufactured using environmentally conscious practices. Some options are FloorScore® certified for indoor air quality and may include recycled content. Product specifications should be reviewed to confirm environmental attributes.
   

• Can Luxury Vinyl Flooring Be Repaired If Damaged?
  Individual planks or tiles can often be replaced without redoing the entire floor. The feasibility of repair depends on the installation method and the extent of the damage. 
   

• Does Luxury Vinyl Flooring Expand and Contract with Temperature Changes?
  Yes. While less affected than hardwood, luxury vinyl can expand or contract with fluctuations in temperature or humidity. Proper acclimation before installation and expansion gaps help accommodate these changes.
   

• Can Radiant Heating Be Used with Luxury Vinyl Flooring?
  Many luxury vinyl flooring products are compatible with radiant heating systems. However, it is essential to confirm with the manufacturer's guidelines and ensure that the heating system does not exceed recommended temperature limits.
