Why is my LVP lifting at the edges in my Paloma Lake home?

LVP edge lifting in Paloma Lake and Round Rock is most commonly caused by insufficient expansion gaps at the walls, subfloor flatness issues that create stress on the locking joints, or moisture intrusion from the slab. CC Floors Austin can diagnose the exact cause during a free in-home assessment. Call 512-769-2292.

Can lifted LVP be repaired without replacing the whole floor?

In many cases, yes. If the lifting is caused by insufficient expansion gaps, a flooring contractor can trim the edges and reinstall the baseboards. If individual planks have failed at the locking joints, those planks can often be replaced without disturbing the rest of the floor. CC Floors Austin assesses every situation before recommending a solution.

How do I prevent LVP from lifting in my Round Rock TX home?

Ensure proper expansion gaps (minimum 1/4 inch) are left at all walls, doorways, and fixed objects. Keep indoor temperature consistent — do not turn off the AC during vacations. Use window treatments to reduce solar heat gain on flooring. Have the subfloor tested for flatness and moisture before installation. CC Floors Austin addresses all of these factors on every installation.
