LVP FLOORING INSTALLATION IN SAN DIEGO
Professional luxury vinyl plank flooring installation for residential, commercial and multifamily projects, including floating and glue-down installation methods.
Professional LVP Flooring Installation in San Diego
Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring is a popular option for residential, commercial and multifamily projects because it offers the appearance of wood with a flooring system designed for a variety of applications. Installation requirements vary depending on the product, subfloor and conditions of the project.
JUMA Flooring installs LVP using floating or glue-down methods, depending on the selected product and project requirements. Proper preparation of the surface underneath the flooring is an important part of the installation process.
LVP Flooring
Wood-look flooring available in a variety of styles and product specifications.
Floating / Click
Installation without permanently attaching the flooring to the subfloor, when specified by the product.
Glue-Down
LVP installed directly to the prepared substrate using the appropriate adhesive and installation requirements.
LVP Installation Methods: Floating and Glue-Down
LVP flooring can be installed using different methods depending on the product specifications, subfloor and project conditions. The two common approaches are floating installation and glue-down installation.
Floating / Click LVP Installation
Floating LVP is installed over the prepared subfloor without being permanently attached to it. Individual planks connect through the product’s locking system, allowing the flooring to form a continuous surface across the prepared area.
The subfloor must meet the requirements of the selected flooring system. Surface condition, flatness, moisture and other installation requirements may need to be addressed before the flooring is installed.
Glue-Down LVP Installation
Glue-down LVP is installed directly to the prepared substrate using the adhesive and installation procedures specified for the flooring system.
This method requires appropriate substrate preparation and adhesive application. The condition of the subfloor and the requirements of the selected LVP product are important factors in determining whether glue-down installation is appropriate.
Which LVP Installation Method Is Right for a Project?
The appropriate installation method depends on the specific LVP product, substrate, site conditions and manufacturer requirements. JUMA Flooring evaluates these factors as part of the installation process rather than applying the same method to every project.

LVP Floor Preparation and Subfloor Requirements

Depending on the existing conditions, preparation may include removing old flooring, scraping or removing adhesive, grinding, patching, leveling or correcting uneven areas.
For installations over concrete slabs or other substrates, preparation requirements may vary according to the LVP product, installation method and condition of the surface.
