What is a good price for LVT flooring?
Luxury vinyl flooring is a huge upgrade compared to sheet vinyl, and the price reflects it. While the cost of regular vinyl flooring can range from $0.50 – $2 per square foot, luxury vinyl will typically run between $2 and $5+ per square foot.
Do you need underlay with LVT?
Most vinyl flooring or luxury vinyl tiles do not require underlay. Vinyl floors are designed with a base layer, making the addition of underlay pointless. The only time a vinyl floor may need underlay is when the surface beneath is uneven or has issues with damp.
Can LVT be installed over concrete?
LVT can be installed directly over concrete, but the concrete must be at least six weeks old, proven to be dry, and free of powder and flaking. The same floor patch you would use on wood floors should also work for concrete.
