Vinyl panel installation: how the work goes

1. Check the substrate: vinyl panels allow no more than 1 mm variation per metre.
2. If required — grind high spots or use self-levelling compound.
3. Click-lock SPC: a thin underlay (1–1.5 mm) is rolled out, then the planks are clicked together.
4. Glue-down LVT: a dedicated adhesive is spread and each plank is laid one by one.
5. Cutting in at walls, pipes, and door frames.
6. Skirting boards and thresholds are installed.

Common mistakes

• Laying on an uneven substrate: every hollow shows through the thin vinyl and the locks start to open up.
• Using a thick underlay under SPC: manufacturers allow 1.5 mm maximum, otherwise the locks give way.
• Gluing LVT with tile adhesive — vinyl needs a proper adhesive made for this material.
• No expansion gap at the walls for click-lock panels, leave the same 5–8 mm as for laminate.
• Installing over underfloor heating without checking compatibility, not every vinyl panel is suitable for it.

What to prepare

• Check that the screed is level and dry.
• Buy panels with a 5–7 % extra allowance.
• Leave the material in the room for 24 hours so it can acclimatise.
• Remove furniture from the room.
• For glue-down panels — you will need adhesive (confirm the brand with the supplier).

Vinyl panel installation in practice: a Warsaw case

A flat in Wola, kitchen plus hallway 22 m². The owners wanted a waterproof floor with a wood look. They picked 4 mm SPC planks with a rigid core. The screed was in decent shape: only two raised spots needed sanding. The installation took half a day. End result: a floor that feels warm underfoot, is not slippery, and handles water without any fuss — ideal for a kitchen with a toddler.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between LVT and SPC?

LVT is flexible, glued to the substrate, and thinner (2–3 mm). SPC is rigid, uses a click-lock, is thicker (4–5 mm), and is installed as a floating floor.

Can vinyl go in a bathroom?

Yes, but the joints are not 100 % watertight. In wet areas, glue-down LVT is the better option, it bonds more tightly to the substrate.

How long does a vinyl floor last?

Good-quality vinyl: 15 to 25 years. Cheaper options (under 100 PLN/m²) — 5 to 7 years.
