What is glue down LVT?

Glue down LVT (luxury vinyl tile), also known as stick down LVT, is fixed directly to the subfloor with adhesive rather than clicked together and floated. Most glue down planks and tiles are 2–2.5mm thick, with a printed design layer protected by a clear wear layer. Because every plank is bonded down, the floor feels solid underfoot and won't move or lift.

Why choose glue down vinyl flooring?

Glue down vinyl is very stable, so it suits large open-plan rooms, areas with heavy furniture and busy commercial spaces. It's ideal for kitchens and bathrooms because there are no floating joints for water to get under. The slim profile also means minimal height change at doorways, and damaged planks can be replaced individually.

Herringbone, parquet and wood effect glue down LVT

Glue down is the go-to format for patterned floors. Choose from classic herringbone and parquet in natural, grey and rustic oak tones, realistic wood-effect planks with embossed grain, or stone and tile effects.

Glue Down vs Click LVT

Glue down LVT is bonded to the subfloor, so it's slimmer, more stable and better for wet areas, large rooms and patterns like herringbone. Click LVT locks together and floats over underlay, which is quicker to fit and more forgiving of minor subfloor imperfections. If you want the most durable, watertight finish, glue down is usually the better choice. If you want a faster DIY install, choose click.

Preparing Your Floor for Glue Down LVT

Glue down LVT needs a smooth, flat, clean and dry subfloor, as any bumps or gaps can show through the finished floor. Concrete floors are usually levelled with a smoothing compound, and timber floors are typically overboarded with plywood first. Use a suitable LVT adhesive and follow the manufacturer's fitting guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is glue down LVT better than click?

For kitchens, bathrooms, large rooms and busy areas, glue down is usually better. It's more stable, watertight at the joints and quieter underfoot. Click LVT is quicker to fit and a good choice for DIY installs over existing floors.

Can you fit glue down LVT yourself?

It's possible, but most people use a professional fitter. The subfloor must be properly prepared and levelled, and the adhesive needs to be applied correctly for a long-lasting result.

What adhesive do you use for glue down LVT?

Use a flooring adhesive designed for LVT, such as a pressure-sensitive or acrylic vinyl adhesive. Always check the product's fitting guidance for the recommended adhesive and trowel.

Is glue down LVT waterproof?

The vinyl surface is water-resistant, and because every plank is bonded to the subfloor, there are no floating joints for water to get underneath. That makes glue down LVT one of the best choices for bathrooms and kitchens.

Can glue down LVT go over underfloor heating?

Most glue down LVT can be used with underfloor heating, typically with a maximum floor surface temperature of around 27°C. Check the product details or ask our team before ordering.

How much does glue down LVT cost?

Our glue down LVT starts from £17.09 per m² including VAT. Fitting, subfloor preparation and adhesive are priced separately.
