Vinyl Flooring Installation: Durable, Waterproof, and Stylish
The Best Choice
Why Choose Vinyl Flooring?
Vinyl flooring is an ideal choice for both residential and commercial spaces due to its durability and resistance to wear and tear. Perfect for high-traffic areas, vinyl floors handle moisture and spills with ease, making them perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and basements. Whether you choose luxury vinyl plank (LVP) or luxury vinyl tile (LVT), vinyl flooring offers the aesthetic appeal of hardwood, marble, stone, or porcelain at a more affordable price.

The Layers of Vinyl Flooring
Vinyl flooring is constructed with four distinct layers to ensure lasting performance:
- Backing Layer: Typically made of cork or foam, this underlayment serves as a cushion, offering comfort underfoot while acting as a sound barrier to reduce noise.
- Waterproof Layer: This layer absorbs moisture, preventing any swelling or damage to the flooring, making it ideal for wet or humid environments.
- Design Layer: A high-resolution printed image mimics the look of luxurious materials like wood, stone, marble, and porcelain.
- Wear Layer: The top protective layer defends the floor against scratches, stains, and general wear.
Professional vinyl floor installation
How we do the work
At American Floors IAC, we specialize in professional vinyl floor installation using the click-and-lock method, also known as the “floating floor” system. This method is quick, efficient, and ideal for DIY installations or professional setups.
Why Vinyl Flooring is the Best Choice:
- Waterproof: Vinyl is fully waterproof, making it a perfect option for high-moisture areas like bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms.
- Durability: With proper care, vinyl flooring can last up to 20 years, offering long-term value for your home or business.
- Easy to Maintain: Vinyl floors are simple to clean and maintain, making them an excellent choice for busy households and commercial spaces.
- Versatility: Available in a wide variety of styles, vinyl can mimic high-end materials like hardwood, stone, and marble, offering style without the hefty price tag.
We install vinyl plank flooring over various surfaces, including concrete, hardwood, tile, and even existing vinyl flooring. Keep in mind that installing vinyl over a floor with pre-existing flaws can affect the final result, so it’s important to ensure the surface is smooth and level before installation.
