About Glue Down Installation
Glue-down flooring and installation methods are exactly as they sound: This flooring is installed securely in place, directly to the concrete or plywood subfloor with installation glue. By eliminating the gap between the subfloor and the finished floor, glue-down installation helps reduce the effects of daily wear and tear. In addition to flooring longevity, glue-down installation produces fewer squeaks and shifts over time, and many glues offer valuable moisture protection. For this reason, many glue-down options will not require a vapor barrier since the glue itself becomes the barrier. Finished laminate or luxury vinyl glue-down floors boast enhanced stone or wood realism by removing the hollow sound and the give of a floating floor.

Glue Down Installation Options
Glue-down hardwood, laminate flooring, and luxury vinyl flooring options will offer exceptional stability to your high-traffic entranceways, hallways, and living rooms. If you are selecting flooring for a commercial location, glue-down flooring options are highly recommended to handle the constant activity and reduce noise. These flooring options are extremely popular since they feel firmer underfoot and are less likely to need repair before a floating floor in the same location. Also, glue-down flooring options can withstand the weight of heavy furniture better than floating floors can.
Glue Down Installation Considerations
The glue-down installation will require subfloor prep to ensure flawless results. Your subfloor will need to be clean, spotless, moisture-free, and perfectly level as possible. This installation method will offer less DIY capability since it requires more expertise, time, and the potential for messes. In rooms that experience fluctuating temperatures, the glue-down installation will prevent the flooring from expanding, contracting, or buckling. Glue-down products will also allow installers to use feature strips that fit in between each piece of flooring to create an attractive grout-like design and border.
