Flooring That Handles Moisture and Traffic

Commercial-grade luxury vinyl plank installation in Pembroke and surrounding areas.

When you need a floor that looks like wood but holds up in areas where spills, moisture, and foot traffic are constant, luxury vinyl plank offers durability without the maintenance demands of hardwood. In Pembroke, commercial spaces like offices, retail stores, and medical facilities use LVP because it resists water damage, installs quickly, and comes in a wide range of styles. Native Colors Professional Painting installs commercial-grade LVP systems that lock together tightly and stay stable over time.

This service involves preparing the subfloor to ensure it is clean, level, and dry, then laying down an underlayment if needed for sound reduction or moisture protection. The planks are installed row by row using a floating or glue-down method depending on the product and the space. Once the floor is in place, transitions and baseboards are added to complete the installation.

How LVP Gets Installed and What It Delivers

The subfloor is inspected and leveled if necessary to prevent flexing or gaps that could cause the planks to separate over time. In Pembroke, older concrete slabs and wood subfloors are common, and both require different prep methods to ensure a stable base. Any high spots are ground down, and low areas are filled with leveling compound before installation begins.

After the floor is prepped, you will see the planks laid out in a staggered pattern that locks together along the edges. The installation moves quickly, and most commercial spaces can be completed in one to three days depending on square footage. Once finished, the floor is ready for use immediately with no curing time, and it resists scratches, dents, and water exposure better than traditional wood or laminate.

This service is focused on commercial-grade products that meet high-traffic demands and does not typically include residential upgrades or decorative inlays. The flooring is low-maintenance and easy to clean with standard mopping, and it holds up well in environments where spills and moisture are part of daily operations. If the space requires specific fire ratings or antimicrobial properties, those can be specified during product selection.

It Helps to Know What to Expect

Business owners and facility managers often ask how long the installation takes, whether the floor can be installed over existing surfaces, and what kind of wear the material can handle before it needs replacement.

What makes LVP different from laminate flooring?
LVP is made from vinyl with a wear layer that resists moisture and scratches, while laminate has a wood fiber core that can swell if exposed to water. LVP is better suited for areas with high humidity or frequent spills.
How long does LVP flooring installation take?
Most commercial spaces are completed in one to three days depending on the size of the area and the condition of the subfloor. If significant leveling or moisture mitigation is required, the timeline may extend by a day or two.
Can LVP be installed over existing tile or concrete?
Yes, as long as the existing surface is clean, level, and free of cracks or movement. Tiles with grout lines may need to be filled or covered with underlayment to prevent the pattern from telegraphing through the vinyl planks.
What kind of maintenance does LVP flooring require?
You can clean LVP with a damp mop and a pH-neutral cleaner. Avoid using wax or oil-based products that can leave a residue. For high-traffic areas, sweeping or vacuuming regularly helps prevent dirt from scratching the wear layer.
Why is subfloor preparation important for LVP?
An uneven or dirty subfloor can cause the planks to flex, separate, or develop gaps over time. Proper preparation ensures the floor stays flat and locked together even under heavy use.
