Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) flooring has surged in popularity among homeowners and builders for its durability, water resistance, and realistic wood-look designs. But when it comes to installation, you might wonder whether to go with click-together (floating) planks or a gluedown method. Here’s a breakdown to help you decide.
Click-Together (Floating) LVP
Click-together LVP is designed with interlocking edges that snap together without the need for adhesive.
- Pros: Quick and easy installation, can be installed over most existing floors, allows for slight movement with temperature and humidity changes.
- Best For: DIY projects, renovations, and areas where you may want to remove or replace the flooring in the future.
Gluedown LVP
Gluedown LVP is installed by adhering each plank directly to the subfloor.
- Pros: Extra stability, reduced movement underfoot, excellent for large commercial areas or spaces with heavy traffic, can reduce noise.
- Best For: Commercial projects, high-traffic areas, or rooms where you want a permanent, secure flooring solution.
Which Should You Choose?
Both options provide the same stylish, waterproof, and durable LVP look. Your choice often comes down to installation preference, room size, and whether the flooring might need to be removed or replaced in the future. Builders and homeowners appreciate click-together for flexibility and gluedown for added security and stability.
