Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can you put vinyl flooring over vinyl flooring with this product?
Yes, absolutely. Our Rigid Core LVT is specifically designed as a direct-to-floor overlay. The key prerequisites are that the existing vinyl floor is fully adhered (not loose or cushioned-back), clean, flat, and structurally sound. This makes it an excellent solution for renovations.
Is any special preparation needed for the old vinyl floor?
Minimal preparation is required. The existing floor must be thoroughly cleaned of any wax, grease, or debris. It is critical to ensure the surface is level (within 3/16" over 10 feet) and that any loose or damaged tiles are secured or removed. An underlayment is typically not needed due to the product's integrated underlayment pad.
How does the durability compare to traditional vinyl?
It is significantly more durable. The rigid core provides dimensional stability that prevents warping and gapping, while the commercial-grade wear layer offers 2-3 times the abrasion resistance of standard residential vinyl, making it suitable for heavy commercial use.
What is the lead time for bulk orders?
Standard catalog items typically ship within 15-20 days after order confirmation. For custom ODM projects, lead times are communicated during the quotation process. We prioritize efficient production planning to meet your project timelines.
Do you provide samples and marketing materials?
Yes, we provide physical samples of our core product lines upon request. We also supply high-resolution digital assets, specification sheets, and installation videos to support your sales and marketing efforts.
