Frequently Asked Questions
Does this LVT collection really just stay in place without glue?
Yes, this specific Project Floors Plank Collection LVT is designed with sufficient weight and often a high-friction backing that keeps the planks or tiles securely in place under normal use when installed correctly on a suitable subfloor using the loose lay method. The tiles/planks are laid tightly edge-to-edge and against perimeter walls. For very large areas, perimeter fixing or use of tackifier adhesive might sometimes be recommended.
Is this Plank Collection LVT suitable for commercial use?
Absolutely. One specification within the Project Floors Plank Collection features a 0.55mm wear layer and achieves high durability ratings (Class 33 Heavy Commercial / Class 42 General Light Industrial), making it specifically designed to withstand the demands of busy commercial environments like shops, offices, and hospitality venues.
Can I install this Project Floors Plank Collection LVT myself?
Yes, the installation system for this collection is designed to be very DIY-friendly. As there's no glue or complex clicking mechanism involved, installation is much quicker and requires fewer specialist tools than other LVT types. However, ensuring the subfloor is perfectly smooth, level, and clean is critical for a good result using the loose lay method.
What happens if I damage a plank or tile from this collection?
One of the major advantages of this Plank Collection's installation method is the ease of replacement. If a single plank or tile gets damaged, you can carefully lift it out and replace it with a new one without disturbing the rest of the floor, making repairs simple and cost-effective.
Can I install this Plank Collection LVT over my existing floor?
In many cases, this Plank Collection LVT can be installed directly over existing hard flooring surfaces like ceramic tiles, vinyl, or even wood, provided the existing floor is smooth, level, hard, and securely fixed. This can save significant time and cost on subfloor preparation. However, it's essential to check manufacturer guidelines and assess the suitability of the existing floor first. It cannot be laid over carpet.
