FAQ's

to clean my resilient floor?

Is resilient durable?
Yes. Resilient is a very durable substance and is an excellent choice for high traffic areas or in areas with moisture, such as bathrooms or laundry rooms.

What are the different installation
methods for a Resilient floor?
Most vinyl is installed with a full spread method- adhesive is applied to the entire sub-floor and the vinyl is laid into it and then rolled. Some products can be loose-laid(the vinyl is fit just slightly short of all vertical surfaces (approximately 1.16" away) so that it lies completely flat with no fullness or "pinch" points). Each floor has a specific adhesive that should be used. The preferred method for your installation will be determined by the existing conditions of the area and can best be determined by your sales associate.

What type of chair protectors can I use on resilient flooring?
Support furniture with wide-bearing, non-staining floor protectors. Ideally, the protectors should be at least one inch in diameter, made of non-pigmented, hard plastic and rest flat on the floor. Non-staining felt protectors are also acceptable. Casters with a minimum 3/4" flat surface width or floor protectors are recommended for all moveable furniture. Make sure any metal protectors are rustproof. Replace your narrow-dome furniture rests with wide-bearing ones.

What is the difference between Resilient and Vinyl flooring?
Resilient and Vinyl flooring are the same, they are different terms used to describe the same type of flooring.

What type of mat can I place on my resilient floor?
Use doormats outside each entrance to your home to prevent dirt, sand, grit and other substances such as oil, asphalt and driveway sealer from being tracked onto your floor. Staining can occur if there is a dye transfer from an object that has been laid on the floor. This type of staining is not covered under the warranty, be sure to use rugs or mats that are labeled "non-staining."
