Provenza LVP crackling sound

4 years ago

We are in a process of installing (~1100ft) Provenza Modern Living collection ESPC/LVP floors (Uniclick) over the OSB subfloor and noticed that when you walk sometimes(!) it's making a plastic crackling sound (not loud, but still noticeable with steps) like sand under the board or in seams or seam tension). Floors were leveled within range of ~2-3mm over 10ft as recommended, clean, no dust under the board, no underlayment over OSB (LVP has pad attached), plenty of space around for expansion gaps. I'm wondering if that is normal and should LVP settle over time or this is an issue?

Hi, We have this same noise/issue with Coretec Springfield Oak. We opened a claim, and its getting approved with Coretec.

Did you keep your floors? Did the sound ever go away? If so, how long did it take to go away? We've had the floors 2 months now, and its gotten no better.

I'm struggling with replacing them, because I dont like the look of any other flooring better than the Springfield Oak. Not sure if we should risk buying the same product again though.

Yes I also have the same issue with these provenza floors. Did they stop making the noise over time?

My newly installed Provenza Moda LVP floors have the crackle sound when we

walk in most areas. Our installee went aboce

and beyond to prep the floors. . i assume

the backing is polystyrene and is causing the crackle noise.

Were any of your floors interlocking or all glue down?

Mine was provenza maxcore moda living which is interlocking. The noise was very noticeable at first but it went away after few months.
