What is Glue Down Vinyl Flooring (LVT)?

Glue down vinyl flooring (LVT/LVP) is a durable, water-resistant flooring option that is adhered directly to the subfloor using adhesive. It offers a secure, long-lasting installation, making it ideal for high-traffic areas.

Benefits of Glue Down Vinyl Flooring (LVT)

• Great diversity in decor options.
• Waterproof and durable, making it an easy-to-enjoy option that is low-stress to maintain, especially with kids and pets.
• Installation can flow from room to room without the need for expansion gaps hidden by skirtings and transition trims.

Challenges of Glue Down Vinyl Flooring (LVT)

• A highly technical product that requires installation expertise and a dry and level substrate. Not easily a DIY option, and 99% of the time will require self-levelling screed.
• Thermo-responsive nature of the product requires full sun window management and technical care during installation.
• Moisture levels should not exceed CM% 4 so if your substrate is wet, you wait or you invest in a moisture barrier.
