Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can UltraGuard Pro really be installed directly over any old vinyl tile?

It can be installed over most existing, well-adhered, smooth, and structurally sound vinyl floors. The substrate must be clean, dry, and level within 3/16" over 10 feet. Loose, cushioned-back, or severely damaged vinyl should be removed or covered with a suitable underlayment first. Always consult our detailed installation guide for specific substrate preparation.

Does installing flooring over vinyl tile create a height transition issue?

UltraGuard Pro's slim 5.5mm or 7mm profile minimizes height differentials. With its integrated underlayment, the total added height is often less than installing a new floor with a separate underlayment over a subfloor. We provide a range of matching transition moldings to seamlessly manage any height differences at doorways.

How does the durability compare to traditional commercial vinyl tile (VCT)?

UltraGuard Pro significantly outperforms VCT. It is 100% waterproof (VCT is not), requires no waxing or polishing, and is far more resistant to scratches, dents, and stains. The wear layer provides lasting protection, whereas VCT's surface is the wear layer itself and requires constant maintenance.

Is this product suitable for wet areas like commercial kitchens or bathrooms?

Yes. The 100% waterproof core and tight click-lock seams make UltraGuard Pro an excellent choice for wet areas when installed correctly. Ensure the planks are properly locked and that perimeter expansion gaps are sealed with a 100% silicone caulk for areas with potential standing water.

What are the minimum order quantities (MOQ) for international orders?

We offer flexible MOQs to suit businesses of all sizes. Standard container (FCL) loads provide the best price, but we also accommodate mixed pallet (LTL) orders with competitive pricing. Contact our sales team for a customized quotation based on your destination port and volume.
