Does LVT's need expansion gap

Does LVT's need expansion gap? they can be laid to the skirting, no beading required, is that right? thanks

 

Great, thanks for your reply. I currently have porcelain tiles on the open plan Kitchen/Dining/Family Room, W/C and Hallway areas (approx. 33 sq.m), the tiles feel so cold on feet, I am thinking to replace it with some warm material, perhaps some easy to clean LVT's? I am wondering if LVT's can be laid on top of the tiles? is Karndean karndean van gogh a good choice? what is the price I am looking at for 33 sq.m roughly for LVT's fitting included? Thanks

 

It could be laid on top after a layer of smoothing compound is applied, but depends on the gloss on the porcelain tiles, you will be raising the floor slightly so be aware of that also, are the porcelain tiles onto timber base or concrete, as a moisture test would also be needed, it may be that the tiles are best removed. There are a few things that need checking first, but if they are sound and can be smoothed over then your good to go

 

The porcelain tiles are the polis

 

The tiles are those polished gloss ones, they are very smooth, they were laid on the concrete floor, yes I am aware of the floor level will be raising slightly, the doors will need to be cut. What do you think the cost laying 33 sqm? Thanks

 

About £1980 I'd say

Thanks for the cost advice, can I ask what's the difference between polyflor and karndean LVT's?

I get on with the camaro as a budget range and like some of the expona range aswell.
Not a massive difference between the 2 ranges as apposed to material wise

 

if you use the new Karndean click system you need expansion gap, but small not like laminate flooring . For normal LVT you don't need expansion gap.

For the glue LVT, if I need to change my floor again in the future, is it easy to take them off?

 

If is loose lay you can, glued not.

 

Please can I also ask why LVT is better than Vinyl sheet? I guess the Vinyl sheet is much cheaper, is that right? Can Vinyl sheet be laid on porcelain tiles? or it needs underlay on the porcelain tiles first? Sorry, so many questions.

 

Hi, no expansion needed , just ensure product has been in correct climate for 24 hours
