If you are considering purchasing any luxury vinyl flooring brands on the market today, you may be stuck between the better choice of two methods of installation.

Whilst it may not seem like a huge deal whichever direction you go at first, there is enough of a difference in time and cost to consider as well as other factors.

Glue Down

Glue Down LVT is a method that provides stable, long-lasting flooring whilst having a slightly thinner design than click.

Your first step will be making sure that your subfloor installed over is fully flat and smoothed out so that there are no imperfections that will be highlighted after the vinyl installation. You need to be 100% sure that the subfloor is not prone to moisture, each tile will require gluing down which takes a bit longer to install and may require the work of a professional installer if you are unsure about the task as a whole.

Glue Down LVT is considered the more affordable option over Click LVT, but cheaper doesn’t mean it lacks the same qualities. Both products offer increased levels of stability and a sustainable level of durability for those heavy traffic areas. It is perfect in areas where moisture and temperatures tend to rise like household bathrooms and kitchens.

Even though LVT flooring has been known to fully resist impacts of moisture and rises in temperature, certain instances can affect your floor. If you are looking to install LVT in high water areas, then Glue Down tiles would be the most suited for the area.

Click Together

Whilst it may offer the same layered design as Glue Down, Click LVT does have its differences. Its click system design requires a thicker product than glue down, which does not necessarily offer more durability but has the same wear layer strength as its glue down brother.

Vinyl with a click system offers more ease in installation that can be done by anyone with free time over a day, which is why many people choose to spare the expense on a professional fitter and the by the hour rate that comes with them. The chosen choice is to use underlay instead of fitting it over a subfloor, which gives a boost to comfort and reduces the amount of work.

There are benefits for each type of vinyl flooring throughout the home, and you are not tied to having just one type throughout your home. Glue down is considered a better option for high traffic areas such as kitchens, living rooms and hallways. Both versions are equally impressive, with click offering a more realistic wooden vibe.

Whichever form of Luvanto luxury vinyl flooring you choose from, you will have the same qualities and satisfaction upon installation, making both installation methods the ideal choice over real hardwoods and stones.
