Smooth, clean, dry subfloors like concrete or plywood are best. Any surface must be free of debris and level for proper adhesion.
Yes, the 20 mil wear layer and ArmourBead finish make this collection suitable for light commercial use like offices, shops, or waiting rooms.
No. LVT is warmer and softer underfoot compared to real stone or ceramic tile, which helps with comfort and reduces noise.
The Ocean Avenue Elite line is a glue-down product, which means it offers better stability over time and doesn’t shift under heavy furniture. Unlike floating vinyl, it’s a great choice for larger areas or commercial spaces where long-term performance is critical.
