Why Choose Vinyl Flooring?

Luxury vinyl flooring is made from multiple layers of synthetic materials designed to replicate the appearance of hardwood or tile. This modern flooring option combines durability, style, and affordability, making it a practical choice for many homeowners.

Some of the key advantages include:

• Waterproof construction, ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and basements

• Durable surface that withstands heavy foot traffic

• Affordable alternative to hardwood or tile flooring

• Stain-resistant and easy to maintain

• Versatile designs that complement a wide range of interior styles

• Suitable for nearly any room in the home

These benefits make vinyl flooring a reliable and attractive solution for both residential and commercial environments.

Vinyl Flooring Installation Methods

Choosing the right installation method is an important part of any flooring project. The best option depends on the type of vinyl flooring you select, the condition of your subfloor, and your space's needs.

At Advanced Flooring, we commonly install vinyl flooring using three primary methods.

Glue-Down Installation

In this method, adhesive is applied directly to the subfloor and the vinyl planks are secured firmly in place.

Advantages

• Strong and stable installation

• Reduced risk of plank movement

• Resistant to humidity and temperature changes

• Quieter underfoot due to direct contact with the subfloor

Considerations

• Installation requires more time and labour

• Replacing individual planks can be more difficult

• Fewer product options are available compared to the click systems

Click-Lock Installation

Click vinyl flooring features interlocking edges that connect together without the use of adhesive.

Advantages

• Quick and straightforward installation

• No glue or special tools required

• Comfortable surface to walk on

• Widely available and commonly used system

Considerations

• Slightly less stable than glue-down installations

• Thicker planks are typically required

• Damaged planks may require removing multiple boards for replacement

Loose-Lay Installation

Loose-lay vinyl flooring uses thicker planks that are laid directly on the subfloor, with adhesive applied only along the perimeter of the room.

Advantages

• Fast and efficient installation

• Simple maintenance and cleaning

• Good sound absorption

• Easy replacement of individual planks

• Resistant to humidity changes

Considerations

• Requires thicker vinyl planks

• Adhesive may still be needed along edges

• Fewer product options compared to click systems

Preparing for Vinyl Flooring Installation

Proper preparation ensures a smooth and successful flooring installation.

Before installation begins, it is recommended to:

• Remove furniture and personal items from the room

• Carefully remove baseboards to prevent damage

• Inspect and prepare the subfloor to ensure it is clean, level, and stable

Once the space is prepared, the flooring installation can proceed according to the selected installation method.

Professional Vinyl Flooring Installation

With professional installation and proper maintenance, vinyl flooring can last 10 to 20 years or more.

At Advanced Flooring, we take pride in delivering high-quality workmanship and dependable service. Our experienced installers work carefully to ensure precise installation, clean finishes, and durable results that stand the test of time.
