Installation Tips for Waterproof Vinyl Plank Flooring

Preparing the subfloor This is where everything starts. Ensuring that it’s clean, dry, and level prevents any bumps or uneven areas from forming in the future. Any dust, debris, or moisture that can’t be removed or dried will interfere with the adhesion and lead to failure.

I have personally witnessed the failure to execute on this step lead to planks failing to sit flush. This left gaps that were very easily preventable. If the subfloor is not completely level, pouring a self-leveling compound can go a long way.

Acclimating the planks before install is a biggie. Allow them to acclimate to the space for a minimum of 48 hours. This provides them the opportunity to acclimate to the local temperature and humidity.

This helps to eliminate issues such as warping or shrinking post-installation. Trust me, I learned the hard way when I first installed waterproof vinyl planks and didn’t do this step because I thought it was pointless. A few weeks later, I started to see some minor buckling at the edges.

By taking this step, the flooring will be better acclimated to its new environment, making it a little easier to fit snugly.

Using spacers along the walls is another small, yet critical installation detail. These allow spaces for the planks to expand and contract to temperature shifts. If you don’t allow for adequate spacing, the planks can push against the wall, eventually causing buckling.

When working in tighter spaces, I found this to be particularly advantageous. Tight spaces can make it tricky to hide an expansion gap.

Going back to research online tutorials is a good way to gain confidence before diving in. I found visual guides to be most helpful when it came to complicated areas such as cutting around door frames or matching up patterns.

Maintenance and Cleaning Guidelines

Maintaining Lucida Surfaces Luxury Vinyl Flooring is easy and requires little time and effort. Mopping, floor maintenance and carpet care are essential components of the program. Regular dry or wet sweeping/vacuuming is the basis of this program. It prevents that fine dirt and dust build-up that can occur over time.

Keep your surfaces clean—no sand or grit, please—use a soft-bristle broom or a non-beater bar vacuum cleaner. This technique stops the scratching and floor damage in its tracks. For areas that see a lot of activity, this minimal investment helps ensure flooring has the clean, bright appearance that is so important to first impressions.

Whenever you’re looking for a more thorough clean, reach for a wet mop. For a more thorough cleaning, use a gentle cleaner made for vinyl flooring for optimal results. These cleaners are specially formulated to clean and disinfect deeply while protecting against surface damage and residue buildup.

A wet—not dripping—mop prevents excess water from getting under the flooring edges, which can compromise the product over time. It’s a simple procedure that makes the entire floor appear clean and welcoming.

Never use abrasive cleaners, ammonia, or bleach. Using these products can strip the protective layer and dull the finish. Using non-abrasive alternatives helps to maintain the floor’s smooth surface. For example, a gentle dish soap mixed in warm water usually does the trick to clean the trickiest stains without damage.

From my personal experience, care of this flooring is a cinch in comparison. A simple rinse with plain water or a mild cleaner should be more than enough. It’s convenient because the surface isn’t prone to showing dirt or shoeprints, reducing the need for frequent maintenance and cleaning.
