Frequently Asked Questions
Is LVP flooring really waterproof?
Yes. Most luxury vinyl planks are built with a waterproof core, making them ideal for kitchens, basements, and bathrooms. However, they’re water-resistant—not indestructible—so standing water should still be cleaned promptly to protect your subfloor.
Can LVP be installed over existing floors?
In many cases, yes. LVP can be installed over concrete, tile, or even some existing vinyl or laminate floors if the surface is clean, level, and in good condition. We’ll assess your space during the consultation to determine the best approach.
How long does LVP flooring last?
High-quality LVP can last 20 years or more with proper care. Choosing thicker wear layers and professional installation ensures the longest possible lifespan.
Does LVP fade or scratch easily?
Most modern LVP products have UV-resistant finishes and tough wear layers that resist scratching from pets and furniture. For long-term care, use felt pads under furniture and clean with manufacturer-approved products.
How do I clean and maintain LVP flooring?
Regular sweeping or vacuuming removes dust and debris. Use a damp (not wet) mop with a gentle vinyl-safe cleaner as needed. Avoid steam mops and harsh chemicals to preserve the wear layer.
Can LVP be used on stairs?
Yes, but installation requires careful trimming and stair nosing. Watts Built’s carpentry background makes stair installations look clean and professional, matching your main flooring seamlessly.
