Luxury vinyl flooring (LVP) is similar to sheet vinyl, but it’s thicker, more durable and easier to install. It comes in tiles and planks, but this article covers planks only, and uses a product called Adura LockSolid. It’s a floating floor which means it isn’t fastened to the subfloor—it just lies there.
Luxury vinyl is the fastest-growing category in the flooring industry. LVP starts at about a couple of dollars per sq. ft., similar in price to medium-grade laminate. It’s available at flooring stores and home centers.
Sand Down the High Spots
- Find the high and low spots on wood subfloors with a straightedge.
- Note: The floor height should not rise or drop more than 1/8 inch over the span of 4 feet.
- Sand down the high spots with a belt sander equipped with a coarse-grit belt.
- Note: This is a dusty job, so turn off your furnace to avoid spreading dust all over the house, and wear a dust mask.
- Pro tip: Use the coarsest sanding belt you can find, such as 40- or 60-grit.
