We used a lot of Tarkett Commercial LVT/LVP. Same exact product just different shapes/styles.
"Luxury Vinyl Tiles and Planks"
"Luxury vinyl planks and tiles offer complete design freedom with endless layout possibilities across a broad range of patterns, colorways, quality levels and installation formats."
I went to the Tarkett commercial site (we are actively researching a RV flooring replacement) and I found this for installation instructions:
"Room temperature must be maintained between 65F and 85F and the ambient relative humidity must be between 40% and 60%...Once the installation is completed, the service temperature of the space must never fall below 55F"
Those temperature and humidity parameters are significantly different than what we would be able to maintain. During winter storage the unit could easily see single digit temps.
Thanks for the information; it is frustrating because the product looks nice.
What do the other manufacturers say? I am betting similar.
Exact same warning on Allure. And if you try to glue it down, or nail trim through it, you will get buckling.
My Allure floor has been down for 2 seasonal cycles in the northeast. In the summer, the interior gets up to 100° and down to 0° in the dead of winter. The only buckling I'm seeing is under the couch where - guess what? - I tightened the couch bolts too much. The rest of the floor looks as good as the day I put it down.
Actually, I just wanted a couple of years out of the Allure. I needed to replace the disgusting carpet and really wanted to go with a teak and holly floor but I had already blown the upgrade budget for that year (the new couch).
