7. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Is this slate tile vinyl flooring suitable for wet room installations like bathrooms?
A: Yes. The planks are 100% waterproof. However, for wet room applications, we recommend ensuring the click-lock seams are tightly fitted and using a compatible perimeter sealant for complete water ingress protection at the edges.
Q2: Can it be installed over existing ceramic tile or vinyl flooring?
A: Yes, it can be installed as a floating floor over most hard, flat, and level surfaces, including existing ceramic tile and vinyl. This saves significant time and cost on demolition and subfloor preparation.
Q3: What is the difference between the 20 mil and 30 mil wear layer?
A: The wear layer thickness directly correlates to durability. A 20 mil layer is excellent for general commercial and heavy residential use. A 30 mil layer offers enhanced protection for extreme commercial traffic areas like airport retail or main hospital corridors, extending the floor's lifespan.
Q4: Do you offer samples, and what is the typical lead time for bulk orders?
A: Yes, we provide physical samples of our slate tile vinyl flooring collection for evaluation. Typical production lead time for container-sized orders is 25-35 days after confirmation, subject to order volume and customization.
Q5: Are your products compliant with international standards?
A: Absolutely. Our flooring complies with relevant CE standards and is tested for low VOC emissions (FloorScore). We can provide necessary test reports and documentation to facilitate smooth customs clearance in your target market.
