Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) flooring has gained popularity for its durability and resilience, but like any flooring material, it may encounter wear and tear over time. Knowing how to repair LVT flooring is essential to maintain its aesthetic appeal and functionality. In this guide, we’ll walk you through common LVT flooring issues and provide step-by-step instructions on how to repair them effectively.
1.Small scratches on LVT flooring are a common concern. To address this issue, start by cleaning the scratched area with a mild, pH-neutral cleaner. Once cleaned, apply a specialized LVT floor repair kit or use a matching colored crayon or marker to fill in the scratch.
Gently buff the area with a soft cloth to blend the repair seamlessly.
2.For deeper damage such as gouges or chips, use a putty knife or a specialized vinyl floor repair compound. Clean the damaged area and apply the repair compound according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Smooth the compound with the putty knife and allow it to dry. Sand the repaired area lightly, if needed, and finish with a protective coating for uniformity.
