Installing LVP over concrete requires strict adherence to technical standards. The concrete must be cured, dry, and free of cracks or high spots that could cause joints to fail. Use a moisture meter to verify the substrate's humidity levels before proceeding. If moisture levels exceed manufacturer thresholds, you must apply a professional-grade moisture mitigation product. A level, smooth surface is critical for the stability of the floating floor’s click-lock mechanism, preventing future separation.
