This is the floor we install most often in basements and rental units, and increasingly in main living areas too, because it doesn't care about water the way wood or laminate do. The rigid SPC core resists dents from dropped pans and dog nails better than older flexible vinyl.
It floats over your existing floor in most cases, so if you've got old vinyl or tile you're tired of looking at, we usually don't need to tear it out first — that alone can shave a day off the job.
Worth knowing before you order
Goes over what's already there
In most cases we float the new floor directly over existing vinyl, tile, or a level concrete slab, skipping demo entirely. We'll tell you upfront if your subfloor needs leveling first.
Dent resistant, not dent-proof
The 20 mil wear layer holds up under rolling office chairs and dog claws better than the 6 mil stuff sold at big-box stores, though a dropped cast iron pan will still leave a mark on anything.
Quiet underlayment upgrade available
We offer an attached cork or foam underlayment that cuts down on the hollow 'clack' sound vinyl plank is known for, especially noticeable on second floors.
How the install goes
- 1
In-home measure
An estimator walks the space, checks subfloor condition, and gives you a written number before anything is ordered.
- 2
Material lead time
Most in-stock lines ship within a week. Special-order finishes can take three to four weeks — we'll tell you which category yours falls into up front.
- 3
Install day(s)
Furniture gets moved by the crew, old flooring comes out, and the new floor goes down. Average timeline is on the specs list above.
- 4
Final walk-through
Your crew lead walks the room with you before packing up, so anything that needs a second look gets caught the same day.
