FAQs

Is this flooring suitable for underfloor heating?

Yes, vinyl is generally compatible with low-temperature underfloor heating systems; however, always check that the adhesive used is also heat-rated.

Can I install this over existing tile?

It is possible, but you must use a leveling compound to fill in the grout lines first, otherwise the pattern will telegraph through the vinyl.

Is it completely waterproof?

The material itself is waterproof, but the seams are not. Ensure seams are properly sealed during installation to prevent water from reaching the subfloor.

Can I use a steam mop on this floor?

We generally advise against steam mops, as the high heat and moisture can potentially weaken the adhesive and damage the foam backing.

Does the floor fade in direct sunlight?

While the finish is durable, prolonged exposure to harsh, direct sunlight can cause fading over time. Use curtains or blinds in very bright rooms.

Troubleshooting

Bubbles forming under the vinyl

Usually caused by trapped air during installation. Carefully lift the edge if the adhesive hasn't fully cured or consult an installer for professional correction.

Edges curling or lifting

This indicates insufficient adhesive application at the seams. Apply a small amount of vinyl seam sealer or manufacturer-approved adhesive under the edge and weigh it down.

Surface scuff marks

Use a soft cloth with a mild vinyl cleaner to gently buff the area. Avoid steel wool or abrasive cleaners.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless and versatile checkerboard aesthetic
  • Highly moisture-resistant for wet areas
  • Improved comfort due to built-in foam backing
  • Safety-focused slip-resistant finish
  • Simple to maintain and clean

Cons

  • Requires professional adhesive for installation
  • Cannot be installed as a floating floor
  • Pattern alignment requires precision during cutting

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires a clean, dry, and perfectly level subfloor. Any imperfections in the subfloor, such as cracks or bumps, will show through the vinyl over time. Use a high-quality vinyl floor adhesive compatible with foam-backed products to secure the material to the subfloor.

For ongoing care:

  1. Use a soft-bristle broom to remove dust and debris.
  2. Clean with a damp mop and a mild, PH-neutral floor cleaner.
  3. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents or abrasive scouring pads, as these can dull the protective finish.
  4. Use felt pads under furniture legs to prevent indentation on the foam backing.
