For low traffic spaces or non-permanent installations, we recommend the Double-Sided Tape Installation method. For high traffic or permanent installations, we recommend the Glue Installation method. Double-Sided Tape Installation: Ensure the subfloor is flat, smooth, clean and dust free. Measure the room to determine the center line, adjust that center line in either direction to give a balanced width of planks or tiles on each side of the room and to prevent narrow pieces along the wall. If installing a square shape tile, start installation in the center of the room. If installing a plank shape, start in the left corner. Lay double sided tape around the perimeter of the entire room including cabinets and doorways (roughly 1/4 to ½ inch from the wall). Do not remove paper backing from the perimeter tape. For additional security, you may choose to lay additional double sided carpet tape in perpendicular lines with the perimeter of the flooring. Depending on the size of your vinyl tile or plank, you may choose to line up tape underneath seams of your tile or plank, or in repeated increments of your choosing. Starting in the corner on the starting wall, remove the paper backing from the perimeter tape of that wall and install the first row of tiles or planks on top of the tape. Be certain this first line is straight and pieces are laid tightly, one against the next. Be sure to install tiles or planks running in same direction (arrows are on back of plank).For plank installation, start the second row using the piece cut from the last plank of the previous row. This should ensure plank joints have a stagger. Continue installing in this same manner. Glue Installation: Ensure the subfloor is flat, smooth, clean and dust free. Measure the room to determine the center line, adjust that center line in either direction to give a balanced width of planks or tiles on each side of the room and to prevent narrow pieces along the wall. If installing a square shape tile, start installation in the center of the room. If installing a plank shape, start in the left corner. Using our 5000 Series adhesive or another pressure sensitive adhesive for vinyl flooring, begin spreading adhesive using a trowel onto the substrate so that the vinyl will remain fully bonded. Gently press the tiles onto the floor and once you have completed one row, start on the next row. If any adhesive comes up between the seams of the tiles, quickly wipe it up. After installation, allow your new floor to “rest’ for 48 hours before introducing heavy traffic, water or cleaning materials.

Luxury Vinyl tiles and planks are easy to keep clean and maintain. Always use plywood or other boards when moving heavy objects across the floor to avoid scratching of the floor surface. Use felt pads under chair and furniture legs to prevent scratching of the floor surface. Place walk off door mats at all entrances and doorways to collect debris from shoes such as dirt, rocks, and moisture, from being tracked in and onto your new floors. Avoid using rubber backed area rugs or floor mats as they can stain the flooring surface over time. Use non-staining floor protectors underneath heavy furniture, chairs, and tables. Daily or weekly vacuuming or dust mopping to remove dirt, grit, dust etc. Do not use treated dust mops. When mopping, use a damp and never a wet mop. Clean up spills immediately to prevent damage to the floor.
