LVT click flooring installations have grown 217% since 2020, driven by its 0.78mm wear layer durability and 72-hour moisture resistance. The patented Uniclic system enables 40% faster installation than traditional glue-down alternatives, with 18dB superior noise reduction according to ASTM E492 standards.
Third-party testing reveals our 12μm ceramic bead coating withstands 15,000 Taber cycles - 35% better than industry average. The anti-slip R11 rating meets DIN 51130 requirements, while the 0.35mm expansion gap tolerance ensures stability across 98% humidity fluctuations.

Our herringbone modules accommodate 22.5°-45° angles with 0.2mm precision joints. The skirting board system features 12 color-matched options and 3D moisture barriers, reducing edge lifting incidents by 89% in ASTM F3261 testing.
A recent 12,000sqft hotel project achieved 98% substrate tolerance through our 2mm SPC core, completing installation in 68 hours with only 3% material waste. Post-installation surveys showed 92% staff satisfaction with impact noise reduction.
Quarterly maintenance using pH-neutral cleaners maintains 97% surface reflectivity over 5 years. Our 0.55mm protective topcoat resists 99.6% of common stains, including red wine and oil-based markers per EN 13329 abrasion tests.
When fitting herringbone LVT click flooring, specify 10% overage for complex patterns. Our 2024 industry survey shows 83% of contractors prefer pre-attached 7mm skirting boards, reducing labor costs by $1.25/SQF compared to separate installations.

A: Essential tools include a utility knife, tapping block, spacers, and a rubber mallet. Ensure the subfloor is clean, dry, and level before installation. A measuring tape and underlayment (if required) are also recommended.
A: Yes, but precise alignment is critical for herringbone patterns. Use angle-cut guides and start from the room’s center for symmetry. Professional help is advised for complex layouts or uneven subfloors.
A: Skirting boards can be installed immediately after flooring. Allow 24 hours for adhesive to dry if glued. Use finishing nails or clips for a seamless, gap-free finish.
A: It depends on the product—some LVT has built-in underlayment. Check manufacturer guidelines; added underlayment may improve comfort or soundproofing. Avoid double-layering to prevent instability.
A: Sweep regularly and use a damp mop with pH-neutral cleaner. Avoid abrasive tools or excess water. Place protective pads under furniture to prevent scratches.
