Company Profile
The Academy for Excellence in Flooring is a leading training facility dedicated to the training of professional installers in engineered wood, vinyl and laminate flooring. The 6,500-square-foot Quick-Step Academy is comprised of a large training area with 10 dedicated training bays all equipped with the latest floor installation tools and technology.
For example, the Academy’s Master Installer Luxury Vinyl course provides insight into every aspect of LVT installation and focuses on correct product selection and preparation in delivering a successful work. It also reveals the importance of paying attention to the details, such as allowing sufficient expansion gaps at perimeters.
“LVT floors are constructed almost entirely from PVC, making them susceptible to changes in ambient conditions, expansion and contraction,” warns Lee Thompson, procurement and technical manager, Academy for Excellence in Flooring. Understanding the physical properties of PVC enables fitters to know how the floor will react to the challenges of the installation.
“While movement may not be as pronounced as wood, a gap of 2mm from fixed objects and perimeters (more for underfloor heating) needs to be allowed when fitting an LVT floor. This is crucial to maintain the longevity of the installation. Finishing gaps with colour-matching fillers, white or translucent hydro flex low modulus silicone (without overfilling gaps), or beading will cover the expansion gap.”
