BEFORE Vinyl INSTALLATION
Since luxury vinyl can be installed as glue-down or often as a floating floor over existing flooring, your old flooring may not need to be pulled up completely! Start by removing all furniture and items from the room and closets, and then remove all frames and mounted items off the walls as well. If your luxury vinyl allows for floating floor installation, there's a good chance you will not need to repair any subfloor imperfections. Bring your new luxury vinyl into the room and allow at least 2 days prior to installation for the flooring to acclimate to the household conditions and humidity levels.
DURING Vinyl INSTALLATION
On the day of your new luxury vinyl installation, make sure to be home and available to answer questions or address issues that may arise for your installation crew. Designate a specific workspace in the home for your installers to keep potentially dangerous laminate installation tools such as jigsaws, carpenter saws, hammers, nail guns, snap cutters, circular saws, mallets, and utility knives. Make sure to keep all children and pets away from the rooms receiving new floors, the installation tools, and the workspace. New luxury vinyl installation can often take one full day.
AFTER Vinyl INSTALLATION
Once your new luxury vinyl is installed, you should wait at least 24 hours before a glue-down floor receives foot traffic or light foot traffic without footwear immediately for a floating floor. Check to ensure that your doors have full range of motion, especially if the new luxury vinyl is a floating floor, and shave the doors down if needed. Place felt protectors under the legs and corners of heavy furniture, tables, and chairs, and after waiting 1-2 days, carefully place furniture back into the room without dragging it directly across the luxury vinyl.
