Why Choose Vinyl Flooring?

Vinyl flooring has gained popularity due to its versatility and affordability. Here are a few reasons why homeowners opt for vinyl floor installation:

Water Resistance

Unlike hardwood or laminate flooring, vinyl is highly resistant to moisture, making it an excellent option for kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and laundry rooms.

Durability and Wear Resistance

Vinyl flooring is designed to handle heavy foot traffic, making it a great choice for high-traffic areas. It resists scratches, stains, and wear, ensuring your floors maintain their appearance for years.

Aesthetic Appeal

Modern vinyl flooring mimics the look of hardwood, stone, or tile, offering a high-end appearance at a fraction of the cost. Available in various styles, colors, and patterns, vinyl flooring can enhance any interior design.

Comfort and Sound Absorption

With its softer surface and sound-dampening qualities, vinyl flooring provides a comfortable feel underfoot while reducing noise—ideal for busy households.

Easy Maintenance

Vinyl floors are easy to clean and maintain. Regular sweeping, occasional mopping, and simple spot-cleaning keep them looking pristine.

Our Vinyl Floor Installation Process

Installing vinyl flooring correctly is crucial for a long-lasting and attractive finish. At J&M Hardwood Floors, we follow a precise installation process to ensure seamless results.

Step 1: Subfloor Preparation

  • Before installation, we ensure the subfloor is clean, dry, and level. If necessary, we repair or install new plywood or concrete underlayment to provide a smooth surface. Proper subfloor preparation is key to preventing future issues such as uneven floors or lifting.

Step 2: Acclimation and Material Preparation

  • If required, the vinyl flooring is acclimated to the room's temperature and humidity to prevent expansion or contraction after installation. We also gather all necessary tools, including adhesive, a trowel, a roller, and cutting tools, to ensure a smooth process.

Step 3: Vinyl Flooring Installation Methods

Depending on the type of vinyl flooring you choose, we use the appropriate installation method:

  • Click-Lock Vinyl Planks: These planks feature a tongue-and-groove system that locks together without adhesive, creating a floating floor installation. This method is fast, easy, and ideal for DIY-friendly projects.
  • Glue-Down Vinyl Planks or Tiles: For a more permanent and stable installation, adhesive is applied to the subfloor using a trowel before securing the vinyl planks or tiles. A floor roller is used to bond the material firmly.
  • Sheet Vinyl: This method involves cutting and positioning large vinyl sheets, applying adhesive to the subfloor, and pressing the material into place for a seamless look.

Step 4: Finishing Touches

Once the vinyl is installed, we focus on the final details:

  • Seam Alignment: Ensuring all seams are properly aligned for a smooth, professional appearance.
  • Trim and Baseboards: Installing baseboards, molding, or transition strips for a polished look.
  • Cleanup: Removing excess adhesive and thoroughly cleaning the space.
  • Final Inspection: Checking for any imperfections and ensuring your vinyl flooring is ready for use.

Step 5: Post-Installation Care

Once the vinyl is installed, we focus on the final details:

  • For glue-down installations, we recommend waiting 24 hours before heavy foot traffic to allow the adhesive to fully cure. Floating floors can be used immediately after installation.

Vinyl Floor Maintenance Tips

To keep your vinyl flooring in top condition, follow these maintenance tips:
  • Sweep or Vacuum Regularly: Prevent dirt and debris from accumulating and scratching the surface.
  • Use a Damp Mop: Clean with a damp mop and mild vinyl floor cleaner—avoid excessive water.
  • Protect Against Scratches: Use felt pads under furniture legs and avoid dragging heavy objects across the floor.
  • Wipe Up Spills Immediately: While vinyl is water-resistant, excessive moisture can still damage the subfloor.
  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Use manufacturer-recommended cleaning solutions to maintain the finish.
