Expertise in LVT/Rigid Core
While LVT and rigid core flooring are designed to be user-friendly, professional installation is crucial for a flawless, durable, and long-lasting result. We offer expert installation services for these specific flooring types.
Subfloor Requirements
Even with rigid core’s ability to minimize minor subfloor imperfections, our professional installers ensure the subfloor is adequately prepared- clean, dry, and level -to prevent future issues like gapping, buckling, or compromised locking mechanisms.
Proper Technique
We will ensure that correct expansion gaps are left and that the planks are properly clicked and sealed, especially for waterproof rigid core installation in moisture-prone areas like bathrooms and kitchens.
We provide a supportive and informative experience, and ensure that your luxury vinyl flooring installation meets manufacturer guidelines for warranty coverage.

Does Rigid Core Luxury Vinyl Need to Acclimate Before Installation?
While rigid core luxury vinyl is known for its superior dimensional stability compared to traditional luxury vinyl or laminate, acclimation is still recommended and often required by manufacturers for the following reasons:
Temperature & Humidity
Even with robust WPC & SPC cores, rigid core products are not completely impervious to changes in temperature and humidity. When flooring is shipped and stored in a warehouse, it can experience different environmental conditions than your home.
Preventing Movement
If the flooring is installed directly from a very cold or very hot environment into a climate-controlled room, it can still expand or contract slightly as it reaches equilibrium with its new surroundings. This slight movement, though less drastic than with other flooring types, can still lead to:
◾ Gapping: If the flooring contracts after installation.
◾ Buckling: If the flooring expands excessively and has no room to move.
◾ Compromised Locking: Stress on the click-lock system can weaken it over time.
Manufacturer Warranty
Most flooring manufacturers, even for rigid core vinyl, will have specific acclimation guidelines in their installation instructions. Failing to follow these guidelines can void your warranty if issues arise later.
Easier Installation
Acclimated planks are easier to work with, as they are less likely to be stiff from cold or prone to excessive movement during the installation process.
