vinyl flooring FAQs
Q: Do I need Scotia for National Tiles Vinyl Plank Flooring?

A: No, we do not recommend Vinyl to be installed in any wet areas.
Q: Will my National Tiles Vinyl Plank Flooring scratch?
A: National Tiles Vinyl Plank Flooring has 0.5mm wear layer that will resist scratching. This is a great product for kids and small pets. Large pets will likely scratch the Vinyl over time.
Q: Will high heels mark my National Tiles Vinyl Plank Flooring?
A: National Tiles Vinyl Plank Flooring can be indented by stiletto style heels, the smaller the point on the heel, the more likely Vinyl flooring will be indented. Wedge and block type heels are far less likely to indent Vinyl flooring.

Q: How much wastage do I need to allow?
A: National Tiles recommends 7% wastage. Some complicated installations with several small areas and multiple angles may require a higher wastage, or an installation with large open areas may require a lower wastage. It is also recommended to have one or two packs left over, just in case a board or section need to be repaired in the future.
Q: How long does National Tiles Vinyl Plank Flooring need to acclimatise for? Why does it need to acclimatise?
A: We recommend that National Tiles Vinyl Plank Flooring is left to acclimatise for 48 hours. The flooring is stored in a warehouse that is likely to have a different ambient temperature to your house. Vinyl like timber products expands with higher temperatures, conversely it contracts in lower temperatures. Leaving National Tiles Vinyl Plank Flooring in an environment that is similar to which it will be installed will stop the floor from excessively expanding or contracting after installation.
Q: What is the difference between the 3mm and 5mm National Tiles Vinyl Plank Flooring?
A: The main differences are feel under foot, the 5mm has a softer feel. Also, the look when installed on imperfect floors, the 5mm hides subfloor issues slightly better than the 3mm. 5mm Vinyl also performs slightly better than 3mm with acoustic performance.

A: National Tiles Vinyl Plank Flooring can be installed over any flat and solid floor prepared in accordance with AS 1884. Resilient flooring should not be adhered directly to Particle Board subfloors. The use of a hard board underlay, primer and/or cementitious coats would need to be applied.

A: Vinyl exactly follows the subfloor; any uneven sections of floor will stand out once the Vinyl is installed. We recommend levelling all floors to ensure the best possible finish.

This could include but not limited to self levelling, sanding, filling of low spots, prior to any sheeting that may be required, cement sheeting, hardboard underlay etc… once the subfloor has been prepped in accordance with AS1884 the substrate should be ready to install the Vinyl planks.
