If you are looking for a waterproof floor, you may be wondering, “Is LVP noisy?” The answer to this question depends on your personal preference, but here are some tips to consider before you purchase your next LVP flooring:
Muffled sound
Have you ever been bothered by the muffled sound of your LPs? If you are, then you may be experiencing an issue with your phono preamp. It is important to note that the sound produced by a record player is shallow and can be muffled if it is placed too close to a wall. The sound can also be muffled if the phono preamp is not properly set.
Another cause of distorted or muffled sound is loose screws or misaligned components in your LP player. If you notice any loose screws, tighten them and try to play the record to ensure that the problem has been solved. If the problem persists, consider replacing the record player, as this could cost hundreds of dollars. If the problem persists, however, you should check other causes first. This way, you can determine whether you are really suffering from a faulty component or a defective one.
Waterproof
LVP is a composite product with two layers – a PVC central core that is not waterproof but provides strength for the flooring – and a layer of vinyl that mimics wood or stone. The wear layer is the most critical part of vinyl flooring and if installed incorrectly, its waterproof qualities may be lost. The most common way to install LVP is to glue it down, but you can also loose-lay it if you prefer.
