Why does my subfloor need to be smooth before laying vinyl?

Frequently Asked Questions

Sheet vinyl is flexible, meaning any unevenness, floorboard gaps, or grit beneath the surface can show through (known as “telegraphing”) over time. We assess your floor during our free measure and can apply ply-lining or latex smoothing compound to guarantee a glass-smooth finish.
