Concrete Subfloor Preparation For Commercial LVP
Our crew began by ripping up the existing classroom flooring which was a vinyl composition tile (VCT). These rip-ups can range from very easy to very difficult. We also patched any uneven areas of the concrete with two coats of patch to prepare for this vinyl plank installation. The 1st coat was Mapei Plani Patch with Acrylic additive and the 2nd coat was done with Ardex feather finish. Once the concrete subfloor was clean and smooth we began to layout the pattern, spread the glue, and install the floor.

Herringbone LVP Install
The herringbone pattern is one of the most popular ways to lay an LVP or hardwood floor. The problem is, not all LVP or wood products can be installed in this manner. Each product must specifically be designed so that it can be installed in this pattern.
School Flooring
Floors Direct has done many school flooring projects over the years. More and more, schools are opting to remove old VCT and replace it with LVP and LVT. VCT flooring requires a lot of maintenance, it needs to waxed and buffed on a regular schedule. Commercial grade luxury vinyl plank flooring needs no wax, just a damp mop. Commercial LVP is also waterproof and highly resistant to scuffs, scratches, and indentations. If a repair is needed, vinyl planks and tiles are very easy to replace. Luxury vinyl plank or luxury vinyl tile are the top choices for resilient school flooring.
