FAQs

Your Questions, Expertly Answered

From installation queries to maintenance tips, you'll find the answers here.

Can vinyl flooring be installed over existing floors?

Yes! Vinyl plank flooring can often be installed directly over existing floors, making it a convenient and cost-effective choice for renovations. It can typically be laid over materials such as concrete, tiles, timber, or laminate, provided the existing surface is clean, level, and dry.

This versatility makes vinyl plank flooring ideal for quick home updates, helping you refresh your space without the need for messy or time-consuming floor removal.

Pro tip: Before installation, check that your existing floor is smooth and free of damage or moisture. Uneven or damp subfloors can affect adhesion and longevity. Using an appropriate underlay can also improve sound absorption and comfort underfoot.

How do I clean and maintain vinyl floor?

Vinyl flooring is known for being low-maintenance and easy to care for, making it ideal for busy households. To keep your floors looking their best, sweep or vacuum regularly to remove dust and grit, then mop occasionally with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.

Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers, as they can damage the protective surface layer. With simple routine care, vinyl floors can maintain their original appearance and shine for many years.

Pro tip: Place mats at entryways to catch dirt and moisture, and use felt pads under furniture to prevent scratches. For a deeper clean, use a pH-neutral vinyl floor cleaner: it removes grime without dulling the finish.

Is vinyl flooring pet-friendly?

Yes, vinyl flooring is an excellent choice for homes with pets. Its tough, scratch-resistant surface makes it ideal for households with dogs or cats, helping protect against claw marks and everyday scuffs. Vinyl is also waterproof, so it won’t absorb spills or pet accidents, and it’s quiet underfoot, reducing noise from paws and claws.

These features make vinyl one of the most pet-friendly flooring options available for Australian homes.

Pro tip: Choose a textured or matte-finish vinyl plank to improve traction for pets and reduce visible scratches. Placing rugs in high-traffic areas can also help preserve your floor’s surface while adding comfort for your furry friends.

How long does vinyl flooring last?

With proper care and maintenance, vinyl flooring can last anywhere from 10 to 20 years and even longer for premium products. Its longevity depends on factors such as product quality, installation method, and foot traffic.

High-quality vinyl planks with a thicker wear layer are more resistant to scratches, dents, and fading, making them ideal for busy Australian homes. Regular cleaning and prompt attention to spills will also help your vinyl floors retain their look and performance for years to come.

Pro tip: When choosing vinyl flooring, look for a wear layer of at least 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm for residential use, or thicker for commercial spaces. This small detail can make a big difference in how well your floors stand up to everyday life.

Is vinyl flooring waterproof?

Yes! When you choose the right product, vinyl flooring can provide 100% waterproof performance. Our vinyl planks are engineered with multiple layers including a protective wear layer and a moisture-resistant core, making them suitable for areas where water and humidity are a concern.

Because of this, the flooring is suitable for wet-zones like laundries and bathrooms (when correctly installed) and brings more flexibility in design. As always, longevity and performance depend on proper installation, sub-floor preparation, and correct maintenance.

Pro tip: Ensure your sub-floor is dry, level and clean before installation. Use recommended underlay and seal transitions (e.g., around doorways, wet-zones or where different flooring types meet) to maintain the waterproof integrity of your vinyl flooring system.
