Debunking Common Myths About Loose Lay Vinyl

 

  • “It shifts around.” Not true. With proper prep, the floor stays put in normal use.

FAQs

Is Southwind Loose Lay Plank flooring really waterproof?
Yes, it’s 100% waterproof luxury vinyl. It’s designed for use in high-moisture areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and basements without swelling, warping, or shifting.
Absolutely. These planks are designed for no-glue, no-click installation. The heavy weight and textured backing hold them securely in place on a flat surface.
Loose lay is faster to install and easier to remove or replace. It’s ideal for temporary installs or areas where minimal disruption is needed. Click-lock requires interlocking edges and more tools.
When installed on a clean and level subfloor, the planks stay in place under normal residential use. For heavy rolling traffic, a few perimeter planks can be secured with double-sided tape.
Southwind Loose Lay uses a commercial-grade 20 mil wear layer, realistic wood visuals, and thicker plank construction (5mm total thickness). It’s also made in the USA, which helps ensure consistent quality.
