Vinyl is a fashionable, high-tech flooring offering the advantages of style and quality to budget-conscious customers. In recent years, there have been amazing advancements in the quality and design of this durable, desirable flooring.

At Mill Direct Carpet & Floor Covering, you'll love our selection of vinyl plank flooring options. Benefits of vinyl flooring include:

• Resilient to moisture and easy to clean
• Assortment of designs, colors and textures
• Does not need to be waxed
• Can handle heavy traffic

• Earth-friendly and family-friendly

Care and Maintenance of Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring

• Sweep floors to remove dirt and grit.
• Wipe spills promptly.
• Mop occasionally using a special cleaner. Ask your sales associate for guidance.
• Avoid using detergent or soap-based products which will dim the shine.
• Most vinyl floors have finishes that do not require additional buffing, shining or waxing. In fact, they may harm the finish.
• Use caution when walking on floors after mopping as they can be slippery.

Installation of Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring

Mill Direct Carpet & Floor Covering will help you every step of the way after you’ve selected your new floor. We provide:

• Professional on-site measurement
• Removal of old flooring
• Skilled installation

Before Installation

• Make sure you know who is removing your existing flooring. The installer can do it. If not, you should make arrangements to have it removed. Minimize dust by vacuuming your old flooring before it’s removed and after it's up, vacuum the floor.
• Moving the furniture. Decide in advance if you want to remove the furniture or if you want the installer to handle it. Either way, remove all fragile items from the room.
• Vinyl plank flooring should run parallel to windows or in narrow rooms to the longest wall.
• Measure door clearances before installation. If the new floor is thicker than your existing floor, door bottoms may rub.
• Paint first. If you’re planning to paint or wallpaper, it’s best to do it before your vinyl plank is installed.

During Installation

• Current Flooring: Our installer will start with a flat surface which may require prep work like removing the existing floor or installing a new subfloor on top of an existing floor. Vinyl flooring can be installed directly on top of what you already have. Our installer will know the best way to proceed.
• Moisture Testing: Is less sensitive to moisture than hardwood but the existing subfloor will still need to be tested.
• Installation Method: In floating floors, planks are attached to each other, not to the subfloor. Glue-down floors require greater installation skill for the exacting process of adhesive application. Room shape can also be problematic.
• Room Shape: Configuration of a room can be a challenge requiring precise measurement, cutting and placement of flooring. Installation by our experts will give you high-quality results.
