FAQ Section

Luxury vinyl represents a significant advancement over traditional sheet vinyl. While both are resilient flooring, luxury vinyl features thicker construction (typically 4-8mm vs. 1-2mm), more realistic 3D printing technology, embossed textures that match the visual patterns, and superior wear layers (typically 12-30 mil vs. 6-12 mil).

Luxury vinyl also offers click-lock installation systems rather than glue-down only, and provides far better dimensional stability, moisture resistance, and longevity. For Dubuque homes, luxury vinyl’s enhanced durability and realistic appearance make it worth the modest additional investment compared to standard vinyl.

Quality luxury vinyl flooring properly installed by our Rettenmaier team typically lasts 15-25 years in residential settings and 7-15 years in commercial environments, depending on traffic levels. The flooring’s longevity depends primarily on the thickness of its wear layer (we recommend at least 20 mil for active households), proper installation, and basic maintenance.

Most premium luxury vinyl products we install come with limited lifetime residential warranties and 10-15 year commercial warranties, demonstrating manufacturer confidence in their durability.

Yes, luxury vinyl planks and tiles are 100% waterproof. The materials used in luxury vinyl will not absorb water, swell, or deteriorate when exposed to moisture. This makes it perfect for bathrooms, kitchens, basements, and entryways in Dubuque homes.

However, it’s important to note that while the product itself is waterproof, excessive moisture can still seep between seams and potentially damage your subfloor. Our professional installation ensures tight seams and proper perimeter details to maximize water protection.

Luxury vinyl floors are exceptionally easy to maintain. Regular sweeping or vacuuming (with a hard floor attachment) removes debris, and occasional damp mopping with a manufacturer-approved vinyl cleaner handles deeper cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals, steam cleaners, or abrasive tools that could damage the wear layer.

For stubborn stains, a mild solution of water and pH-neutral cleaner works well. We provide detailed care instructions with every installation to ensure your floors maintain their beauty for years.

In many cases, luxury vinyl can be installed over existing hard surfaces like vinyl, tile, or wood if they’re in good condition, firmly attached, and level. This can save time and money during renovation projects. However, carpeting should always be removed before installation.

During our initial assessment of your Dubuque home, we’ll determine if your existing floor is suitable for a luxury vinyl overlay or if removal is necessary for optimal results. Our goal is always to ensure the long-term performance of your new luxury vinyl flooring.
