Just the facts: luxury vinyl flooring and acclimation
Luxury vinyl is a synthetic floor covering that mimics natural flooring materials, including hardwood, ceramic, and stone. With proper installation, which includes acclimation, a high-quality luxury vinyl floor will last up to 30 years.
All-Pro Floors offers a large selection of trendy luxury vinyl in Arlington, TX. You can shop at home or in our showroom.
Luxury vinyl flooring is a versatile material
Luxury vinyl plank and luxury vinyl tile flooring are appropriate for almost any application you can think of, especially since they can be installed below-ground, in the attic, and everywhere in between. In addition, LVP and LVT flooring resist abrasion and stains, and it repels water.
If you're a pet owner, look for strong, highly stain-resistant brands that are backed by a pet-friendly warranty.
Composition of luxury vinyl floors
Luxury vinyl flooring comprises four layers: backing, core, image, and wear. In addition, the best brands have a 20-mil wear layer to protect the wood, ceramic, or stone image layer.
Further, some premium quality brands are textured, so they feel like their mimic materials. Finally, the flooring is similar to hardwood in that it requires time to acclimate to its new surroundings.
Acclimation
Acclimation gives planks and tiles a chance to adjust to the room's temperature and humidity levels. When moisture levels are aligned, expansion and contraction are less likely to occur after installing the floor.
Acclimation takes between one and three days. Not surprisingly, flooring takes the longest to adjust to its surroundings when installed in below-ground applications.
