- Is this tile really waterproof?
- Yes. The rigid core and click-lock edges are waterproof, so standing water and spills will not swell the planks. Wipe up standing water anyway to keep seams clean.
- Can I install it over concrete?
- Yes, if the slab is dry, clean and flat within about 3/16 in over 10 ft. Moisture-test the slab first and use a vapor barrier if it reads high.
- Does it need underlayment?
- Most rigid-core click vinyl has an attached pad, so no extra underlayment is needed on a flat subfloor. Check the carton for an attached backing before adding one.
- How does it compare with real stone tile?
- It is warmer underfoot, quieter, and needs no grout, thinset or sealer. It will not match stone's hardness or resale value, and it can dent under heavy point loads.
- How much area does one carton cover?
- Each carton covers 20 sq ft. Add about 10 percent for cuts and waste, more for rooms with many corners.
- Can it go in a bathroom with a shower?
- It works in bathrooms, but keep it out of the shower pan and slope it toward the drain in wet zones. Seal the perimeter where water may pool.
