Pronto LVT has a 100% waterproof core meaning that any water ingress will not damage the core base of the planks/tiles making it suitable for use in bathrooms. However, LVT does not create a waterproof seal and should not be used to waterproof a room or be used in a wet room.

Yes, Pronto Luxury Vinyl Tiles are suitable for water based underfloor heating systems; temperatures must not exceed the industry standard of 27°C and the flooring must have expansion gaps of 10mm to accommodate the increased changes in temperature.

No, our full range of Pronto LVT has built-in underlay so there is no need for you to purchase separate underlay.

No, using additional underlay with Pronto LVT will cause fitting issues, as there will be too much compression and bounce in the substrate. This will put too much pressure and stress on the joints causing them to break.

No, we do not recommend fitting LVT in a conservatory as temperatures under direct sunlight can exceed the maximum temperatures for the product; especially if there are variances in temperature around the room which will cause different areas to expand and contract at different rates.

A vacuum or swivel head mop with replaceable cloth covers is recommended for removing finer dirt and grit from the floor. Thoroughly clean the floor using a suitable vinyl floor cleaner and always ensure any spillages or tracked in dirt are wiped off the floor immediately. We recommend using door mats at all external entrances and putting protective pads under all furniture legs and feet to help protect the longevity of your floor, avoid dragging furniture or objects across the floor.

As with any tiling installation, LVT also requires an expansion joint around the perimeter of an area to allow for any substrate movement or thermal expansion. The expansion gap provides space for the LVT planks/tiles to expand into and prevent the floor from tenting or lifting. The use of vinyl tile expansion spacers will help ensure the correct expansion joints are maintained during installation.

Heavy, permanently fixed furniture, such as kitchen islands that are secured through the kitchen floor, should not be placed on top of LVT flooring. This is because LVT should remain a 'floating floor' and placing an item on top which is then secured to the kitchen floor will likely cause issues. However, this does not apply to large appliances such as fridges, washing machines and freezers, as they are not fixed permanently to the floor.
