Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) is a type of flooring that replicates the look of natural materials like wood or stone at a more affordable price. It is made of several layers, including a PVC (polyvinyl chloride) backing layer, a core layer for stability, a printed design layer, and a durable wear layer on top for protection. LVT is available in various styles, finishes, and sizes, and is known for its durability, water resistance, and ease of maintenance. It is commonly used in residential and commercial settings. Concept Flooring is one of the best luxury vinyl tile installations in Norcross. 

Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) installation typically involves the following steps:

1. Preparation: Ensure that the subfloor is clean, dry, and smooth. Remove any existing flooring or carpeting and repair any damaged areas.

2. Acclimation: Allow the LVT to acclimate to the room's temperature and humidity levels for at least 48 hours before installation.

3. Layout and Planning: Plan the layout of the LVT to maximize the visual appeal and minimize waste. Measure and mark guidelines on the subfloor.

4. Adhesive or Interlocking Installation: There are two common installation methods for LVT. Adhesive installation involves applying a recommended adhesive to the subfloor and pressing the LVT into place. Interlocking installation features LVT with locking mechanisms that snap together without the need for adhesive.

5. Cutting and Trimming: Use a utility knife or a vinyl tile cutter to trim the LVT as needed for a proper fit around walls, corners, or obstacles.

6. Installation: Begin installing the LVT according to the planned layout. Ensure the tiles are properly aligned, and adhere them firmly to the subfloor or interlock them securely.

7. Finishing Touches: Install transition strips, molding, or trim pieces around the edges or door

To maintain Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT), follow these tips:

1. Regular Cleaning: Sweep or vacuum the LVT regularly to remove dirt, dust, and debris. Use a soft broom or a vacuum with a soft brush attachment to prevent scratching the surface.

2. Damp Mopping: Periodically damp mop the LVT using a mild detergent mixed with water. Avoid using excessive water, as it can seep into the seams and damage the subfloor. Rinse the mop often and change the water if it becomes dirty.

3. Spill Cleanup: Wipe up spills immediately to prevent stains or damage to the floor. Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or chemical solvents that can dull or damage the LVT.

4. Protection: Use floor protectors on furniture legs to prevent scratches or indentations. Place doormats at entryways to trap dirt and moisture, preventing them from being tracked onto the LVT.

5. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh chemicals, wax, or polish on LVT, as they can leave a residue or damage the surface. Stick to mild detergents specifically designed for LVT.

6. Avoid Direct Sunlight: Protect the LVT
