FAQ Section

Standard vinyl flooring and luxury vinyl differ primarily in thickness, construction, and installation method. Traditional vinyl is typically thinner (1-2mm vs. 4-8mm for luxury vinyl), often comes in sheet form rather than planks or tiles, and generally requires full adhesive installation.

Luxury vinyl features more realistic visuals, enhanced texture, click-lock installation systems, and substantially thicker wear layers for greater durability. While standard vinyl offers excellent value for budget-conscious projects in Dubuque homes, luxury vinyl

With proper installation and maintenance, quality sheet vinyl typically lasts 10-20 years in residential settings, while vinyl plank can last 10-15 years. Commercial applications may see 5-10 years of service depending on traffic levels.

The flooring’s longevity depends primarily on the thickness of its wear layer, quality of installation, and level of maintenance. Our Rettenmaier team recommends selecting vinyl with a wear layer appropriate for your space’s traffic level to maximize your investment.

Sheet vinyl is highly water-resistant and, when properly installed with minimal seams, provides excellent protection against surface moisture. It’s ideal for Dubuque bathrooms, kitchens, and basements where spills are common.

However, excessive standing water can eventually penetrate seams if left unattended, potentially causing adhesive failure or subfloor damage. Our professional installation techniques minimize these risks by ensuring tight seams, proper perimeter details, and adequate adhesion for maximum moisture protection.

Vinyl flooring is among the easiest floors to maintain. Regular sweeping or vacuuming (with a hard floor attachment) removes debris, and damp mopping with a manufacturer-recommended cleaner handles routine cleaning.

Avoid harsh cleaners, abrasive scrubbers, and “mop and shine” products that can damage the finish. For stubborn stains, a solution of warm water and mild dish soap works well. Sheet vinyl should be protected from furniture indentations with proper floor protectors. We provide detailed care instructions with every installation to ensure your vinyl floors remain beautiful for years.

In many cases, vinyl can be installed over existing hard surfaces like vinyl, linoleum, and well-bonded ceramic tile if they’re smooth, level, and securely attached to the subfloor. This can save time and money during renovation projects.

However, existing flooring with significant texture, damage, or cushioning should typically be removed. During our initial assessment of your Dubuque home, we’ll determine if your existing floor is suitable for a vinyl overlay or if removal is necessary for optimal results and longevity.
