Installation Methods

Precision Techniques for Every Application

We select the optimal installation method based on your specific luxury vinyl product, subfloor type, and environmental conditions to ensure long-lasting performance.

🔨

Click-Lock (Floating)

The most popular method for LVP installation. Planks interlock without glue or nails, creating a floating floor that expands and contracts naturally. Ideal for DIY-friendly renovations and areas with moderate moisture.

💧

Glue-Down

Preferred for LVT and high-traffic commercial spaces. Premium adhesives create a permanent bond to the subfloor, providing superior stability and sound dampening. Best for concrete slabs and moisture-prone areas.

Loose-Lay

Quick installation method using friction-grip backing. No glue or click mechanisms required. Perfect for temporary installations, rental properties, or areas where future access to subfloor is needed.

The CSI Advantage

Why Chicagoland Trusts CSI for Luxury Vinyl

When Carmine and Victor Molfese founded Carpet Services Incorporated in 1979, they built it on a single principle: deliver the quality of work you'd want in your own home, at a price that makes sense. That principle drives every luxury vinyl floor we install today.

We are not a big-box store relying on random subcontractors. Every CSI installer is a full-time, trained employee accountable to the same exacting standards that have kept homeowners and property managers coming back for over four decades. We understand the unique challenges of Midwest humidity and ensure your floating or glue-down floor has the proper preparation it needs.

What Property Owners Say About Our LV Work

Real results from real luxury vinyl installation projects across Chicagoland.

★★★★★

"We wanted waterproof flooring throughout our first floor and CSI recommended luxury vinyl plank. The installation was incredibly fast and the crew was professional. Six months later, the floors still look brand new despite our two large dogs. The waterproof claim is real!"

"I was worried about installing luxury vinyl over our old tile in the kitchen. The CSI team assessed the subfloor, laid down the proper underlayment, and installed beautiful wood-look planks. The transition from the dining room hardwood is completely seamless. True craftsmen."

Most luxury vinyl installations are completed within 1-2 days for standard residential spaces. The actual installation process is relatively quick due to the click-lock or glue-down systems, though we always include time for proper subfloor preparation and acclimation.
LVP (Luxury Vinyl Plank) mimics hardwood and is typically installed as floating floors with click-lock systems. LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile) mimics stone or ceramic tile and can be installed as floating, glue-down, or loose-lay. Both offer 100% waterproof protection and similar durability.
Yes, luxury vinyl can often be installed over existing vinyl, tile, or hardwood flooring, provided the surface is flat, clean, and structurally sound. We always assess the subfloor condition and may recommend removal or additional preparation depending on the existing floor's condition.
Yes, luxury vinyl planks should acclimate in the installation environment for at least 48 hours prior to installation. This allows the material to adjust to the room's temperature and humidity, preventing future expansion or contraction issues.
Luxury vinyl installation costs vary based on material quality, square footage, subfloor preparation needs, and installation method. CSI provides transparent, itemized estimates that include all materials, labor, and preparation work with no hidden fees.
