Best Practices for LVP Floor Installation
Hello all, what are some best practices for LVP floor installation for a manufactured home on a permanent foundation?
The click on / locking type seems like what most investors use, but repairs seem difficult without having to re-do a large area. Is it possible to fix a soft spot without having to re-do the whole room?
How wet is too wet for existing subfloor? Are moisture meters used or no?
What do investors use for the moisture membrane(s)? Right under the wood and/or under the house in the crawlspace? What materials are used besides the LVP itself?
I have heard that leaving 1/4 " along the perimeter can help expansion issues. Is this true in your experience?
I assume it's typically best (if it's necessary to do so and if the budget allows) to re-level the home before the floors are installed. Are floors typically installed before or after the cabinets are put in?
Thank you for your thoughts on any of the above!
