- Is this flooring really waterproof?
- Yes. The vinyl core and click-lock joints are made to resist water, so it suits bathrooms, basements and laundry rooms. Standing water left for long periods can still work into seams, so wipe spills promptly.
- Can I install it over existing tile or concrete?
- It can float over most hard, flat surfaces, including old tile and cured concrete, with a underlayment if the maker requires one. The subfloor must be flat and clean, or the joints will gap and the seams will show.
- How much area does one carton cover?
- Each carton covers 15.71 sq ft. Add about 10 percent for cuts and waste, and buy all cartons at once so the marble patterns blend.
- Does it need glue or underlayment?
- No glue is needed for the floating click installation. Check the manufacturer's instructions for the underlayment and vapor barrier requirements of your subfloor.
- How does it compare with ceramic tile?
- It installs far faster, feels warmer and softer underfoot, and costs less to put down. Ceramic is harder, more scratch-resistant and has no pattern repeat, but it needs mortar, grout and a pro for most jobs.
- Is the dark marble look hard to keep clean?
- The glossy black surface shows dust, footprints and water spots more than light or matte floors. A microfiber mop and a regular sweep keep it looking sharp.
