Conventional LVT flooring has the risk of cupping when it is not given any acclimation time before it is installed. This is mostly due to the temperature and moisture level differences that cause the LVT plank to expand and contract, thus resulting in cupping when space between planks are being squashed.
Another factor that brands and suppliers don’t tell you is that ordinary LVT flooring are only made with minimal Floorscore standards, this means it is the most cost effective and lowest composition grade that give a minimal quality of performance. When the LVT flooring are formulated with more stabilized composition, it can in fact reach zero curling performance and has distinctively less dimensional expansion and contraction rate.
True quality LVT can be made to be acclimation free, so that even when it is going through changing environments, for example from warehouse to residential homes, it can be immediately installed without waiting.
Innovative LVT Flooring with Zero Curling Performance
Top quality LVT are meant to be acclimation free. This means even if the LVT had to go through trasitions between the cold and hot warehouses to residential homes, it will have near zero expansion and contraction rate. The four side of acclimation free LVT tiles will also have zero curling performance to ensure paved tiles stay where it is without a change.
Which Manufacturers Provide Acclimation Free LVT Products?
Unfortunately, very few resilient vinyl flooring manufacturers are willing to provide acclimation free LVT solutions for their clients. This is particularly due to new formulations for acclimate free LVT will use up a lot of materials, naturally the yielding rate from production is also lower.
