  • Q Does LooseLay flooring require adhesive?

    A

    In most residential installations, LooseLay flooring does not require adhesive because its specially engineered anti-slip backing holds the planks firmly in place.

Its durable wear layer, easy replacement capability, and low maintenance requirements make it ideal for projects requiring fast installation and reduced downtime.

  • Q Does LooseLay flooring need an underlayment?

    A

    Generally, no additional underlayment is required because LooseLay flooring is designed with a specialized anti-slip backing that provides stability and comfort. However, installers should always ensure the subfloor is clean, dry, and level before installation for the best performance.

    It maintains all the advantages of SPC flooring while significantly improving everyday living comfort.

  • Q How does Lite-Sound flooring reduce noise?

    A

    Lite-Sound flooring minimizes noise through its built-in polymer foam layer, which absorbs vibrations generated by footsteps and falling objects. This integrated structure reduces both impact sound transmitted to lower floors and walking noise within the room. Compared with traditional SPC flooring that uses standard IXPE underlayment, Lite-Sound provides a quieter indoor environment without compromising floor stability.

  • Q What is Lite-Sound SPC flooring

    A
    Lite-Sound SPC flooring is an innovative rigid core vinyl flooring that combines a traditional SPC core with an integrated polymer foam layer. Unlike standard SPC flooring, Lite-Sound is engineered to reduce impact noise and walking sound while providing a softer and more comfortable underfoot experience. It offers the durability, waterproof performance, and dimensional stability of SPC flooring together with enhanced acoustic comfort, making it suitable for residential and commercial environments. 
  • Q Does Lite-Sound require special installation methods?

    A

    No. Lite-Sound installs the same way as standard SPC flooring, without requiring any special tools or procedures.

     

  • Q Is Lite-Sound flooring more durable than traditional SPC?

    A

    Yes. The improved structure makes it thicker and stronger, providing enhanced durability for both residential and commercial use.
