I have a bit of a unique scenario...

I just installed a brand new LVP floor over a cement subfloor in my basement. A small area. 6x6. The room is used as sort of utility room for my 220 gallon saltwater aquarium.. I have frequent spills. I know the LVP (smartcore pro from lowes) says 100% waterproof. But was thinking just to be sure maybe I would run a bead of silicone inside the joints? I'm already planning to run a rubber kickstop around the edge if the floor and seal it with silicone to prevent water entering from the outer edge. I figure if and when I need to pull up and remove the LVP it wouldn't be too hard to remove any silicone I run in the joints. The install is floating BTW and not glued down.

Is this OK to do or am I missing any big issues I'd regret?

Here's a picture of the installation as it is now.

 

LVP on a cement floor isn't going to do much with spilled water on it. Only issue I can think of is a possible mess with the sealant oozing out, go for it!

 

No. It will just make a holy mess. Doing the perimeter is fine.

 

Thanks for the feedback. I can deal with a little mess if it gives me peace of mind. Sometimes I spill gallons of water at a time with such a large system (over 350 gallons of saltwater). Trying to prevent water from seeping under floor into carpet on other side.

 

Most LVP / LVT installation instructions also recommend a minimum of 1/3 offset. Yours looks more like 1/5.
