- What should I use to clean and maintain my VersaClic floor? Use a “hardwood or vinyl floor cleaner” such as BONA® or SWIFFER® brand or similar “non-surfactant type floor cleaner. Avoid using other types of floor cleaning products, as many will leave a residual film on the floor that will leave a dull finish.
- Can I install my VersaClic® floor over top of preexisting hardwood, laminate, vinyl, tile or stone floors? Yes, however, the existing floor must be smooth and flat. If you are installing over top of tile or stone, you do not need to fill the grout lines. Any broken tiles should be glued or patched. Follow the steps and requirements noted in the installation guide.

- Follow all the requirements noted in the installation guide.

- Can I install my refrigerator or other appliances over top of my VersaClic floor? We do not recommend this since the floor needs to be able to expand or contract slightly with seasonal temperature changes. Install the floor up to the front support legs/feet of the appliance.
- Can I install my VersaClic floor over top of a second under-pad? No, using a second under-pad will cause excessive deflection and movement of the floor that will cause damage to the locking system that can ultimately cause the profiles to break. Using a second under-pad can also cause the planks to become unlocked, causing gaps in the floor.
- In basement installations, can I install my VersaClic floor over top of a “dimpled membrane” like DMX® or similar? No, these types of membranes cause excessive deflection and movement of the floor that will cause damage to the locking system that can ultimately cause the profiles to break. These membranes can also cause the planks to become unlocked, causing gaps in the floor.
- In basement installations, can I install my VersaClic floor over top of a rigid sub-floor panel with a dimpled membrane like DriCore®, Barricade®, INSULFLOOR® or similar? Yes, follow all recommendations in the VersaClic installation guide, as well as the installation guide of the panel manufacturer.
