Product Information

Full details

The Guardian Click Vinyl Flooring Planks in Buffalo Maple are designed for homeowners and commercial property managers seeking a durable, moisture-resistant flooring solution that mimics the aesthetic of authentic wood. These planks offer excellent sound absorption and comfort due to their rigid core and integrated underlayment, making them ideal for high-traffic or high-moisture areas like kitchens and bathrooms. While they feature a convenient click-lock system for easy DIY installation, users should be aware that proper subfloor preparation is essential to ensure the longevity of the locking mechanism.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I install these over existing tiles?

Yes, provided the existing tiles are flat and firmly bonded to the subfloor. Any grout lines wider than 5mm should be filled first.

Are these suitable for a bathroom?

Yes, the waterproof rigid core makes them an excellent choice for bathrooms, provided the edges are properly sealed.

What is the warranty coverage?

The product includes a 15-year residential guarantee and a 5-year commercial guarantee.

Do I need to leave a gap at the walls?

Yes, always leave an expansion gap of approximately 8-10mm around the perimeter of the room to allow for natural material movement.

Can I install heavy furniture on these planks?

Yes, but it is recommended to use felt protectors under heavy furniture legs to prevent scratching the surface.

Is it compatible with underfloor heating?

Yes, the planks are compatible with most radiant floor heating systems, but ensure the surface temperature does not exceed 27 degrees Celsius.

Troubleshooting

Planks feel bouncy or unstable underfoot

The subfloor is likely uneven; remove the planks and use a self-leveling compound to smooth the surface before reinstalling.

Gaps appearing between planks

Ensure the room temperature is stable during installation; large thermal fluctuations can cause the material to expand or contract, causing the locking mechanism to disengage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Waterproof construction ideal for bathrooms and kitchens
  • Easy DIY installation with glue-free click system
  • Enhanced sound absorption from integrated underlayment
  • Compatible with radiant heating systems
  • Slip-resistant surface for added safety

Cons

  • Requires a perfectly level subfloor to prevent damage to click-lock joints
  • Cannot be used in outdoor or semi-outdoor environments
  • Standard pack size of 8 tiles requires careful estimation for large rooms

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the existing subfloor is clean, dry, and level. The click-lock system functions best when planks are laid in a staggered pattern. Begin by removing all baseboards and debris, then lay the planks using the tongue-and-groove locking mechanism. No glue or staples are required. For maintenance, simply sweep or vacuum regularly to remove abrasive grit. For deeper cleaning, use a PH-neutral vinyl floor cleaner and a damp mop. Avoid harsh chemicals or steam mops, as these can compromise the protective wear layer over time.
