Can luxury vinyl flooring be installed "floating"?


Luxury vinyl flooring
is an excellent choice for a floating floor installation. However, there are facts you'll want to know as you search for the perfect option.

Once you consider this flooring type, you'll have plenty of help along the way. And you can get started by considering these facts.

What is floating luxury vinyl flooring?


When you hear the term "floating" luxury vinyl, it means the flooring "floats" above the subfloor. This happens because the flooring pieces click together and lock into place.

The flooring around the perimeter of the room will have to be fastened. For LVP flooring installation, we use nails, staples, or adhesives to secure the edges and the rest of the flooring floats.

What are the benefits of floating floors?


The best benefit is a much faster installation, especially in larger rooms. In most homes, this installation is complete in a single day or less.

Once you choose your specific materials, we can give you all the details. And we can provide you an estimate on the time frame as well as pricing.

Floating floors are also much easier to take up and replace when the time comes to do so. For example, it's easy to make repairs or replace single boards with vinyl plank flooring.
