Luxury vinyl is a plastic-based product and is susceptible to thermal deformation. Maintain indoor temperatures within the manufacturer's specified range. Use window treatments to block direct, intense sunlight, and avoid placing heat-generating appliances directly on the vinyl surface without protection.

Can high heat damage the vinyl surface?
Yes, high heat can damage luxury vinyl. Excessive heat from direct sunlight, appliances, or heat sources can cause the planks to expand, warp, or potentially separate at the seams. Additionally, extreme heat may cause the printed design to fade or the surface to deform.
