Residential Installation Guide – LVT Click

Treads, Risers and Ramps

Glue down method is required on all treads, risers and wheelchair ramps using IVC US iGrip Adhesive. Apply the adhesive

following the manufacturer’s instructions. Install the riser after installing the tread. Install stair nose moldings afterwards to

protect the edge of the LVT.

Plank Replacement

Should one of your planks/tiles become damaged and need to be replaced, follow these simple instructions:

1. Score top of damaged plank/tile with a utility knife. Make two triangle cuts near the end joint and then connect the

points with one long cut in the middle of the plank/tile. (See diagram below)

2. Use an awl or screwdriver to tap down through plank/tile on scored triangle cut points.

3. Lift and remove damaged tile.

4. With the pattern side facing up on the new replacement plank/tile, trim off the short lip on the tongue side and the

groove on the compression joint side, making it flush with the edge of the plank/tile. Be careful not to damage the

finish surface of the tile.

5. Cut several pieces of acrylic double face tape made for vinyl floors and slide under the edges of the existing floor on

the two edges where the replacement plank/tile will have its lips cut off. Tape should face sticky side up; leave the

paper on the side facing down on the floor.

6. Using IVC FLEX-SEAM Premium Seam Bond, or an approved secondary alternative (such as Taylor 2062*), run a

small bead of sealer on the groove edge of the planks/tiles on the existing floor where the replacement plank/tile will

rest that has the lips cut off.

• NOTE: The long tongue of the replacement plank/tile and the uncut compression fit end joint will not need tape

or seam adhesive as you will be using the plank’s/tile’s locking mechanism.

7. Install replacement plank/tile by sliding the long groove of the replacement plank/tile under the tongue of the floor

plank/tile until the finish edge of the replacement plank/tile is tight against the finish edge of the floor plank/tile, and

the compression end joint is lined up. Rotate down, locking the long tongue joint and roll the compression end joint to

lock into place with a small or hand roller.

8. Wipe any excess sealer that comes to the surface of the tiles with a damp cloth and follow with a dry cloth to assure

all sealer is removed from tile surface.

9. Keep foot traffic off the replaced plank/tile for 24 hours.

*Manufacturer will not be held responsible for problems that may arise for approved secondary alternative seam sealers. Please contact the

approved secondary alternative seam sealer’s manufacturer with issues.
