Frequently Asked Questions
Is LVT waterproof for a utility room?
Yes, LVT is inherently waterproof, which makes it a perfect choice for utility rooms. The surface of the tiles will not be damaged by water. When installed correctly, the planks and tiles create a tight, seamless barrier that prevents spills from reaching the subfloor, protecting your home from water damage.
Can LVT withstand the weight and vibrations of a washing machine?
Yes, LVT is highly durable and designed to withstand heavy static loads. A Glue Down LVT installation is particularly stable and can handle the weight and vibrations of washing machines and other heavy appliances with ease. A high-quality Click LVT will also perform well, especially with a rigid core construction.
How does LVT compare to ceramic tiles for a utility room?
LVT is a far more practical choice. It is warm and soft underfoot, waterproof, and much less likely to crack or chip if you drop something. It also doesn't require grouting, which eliminates the need to clean and maintain grout lines, making it a more hygienic and low-maintenance option for this space.
