Why Choose Glue-Down?
Rock-Solid Feel
Zero hollow sound or movement. Every plank is permanently bonded to the subfloor for a solid, premium feel.
Commercial Grade
The preferred installation method for retail stores, restaurants, medical offices, and any space with heavy rolling loads.
Large Area Stability
No transition strips needed in large, open floor plans. Perfect for great rooms, open-concept spaces, and long hallways.
Critical Factors for Glue-Down Success
Glue-down installation demands proper subfloor preparation more than any other method. Here's what we do that sets our glue-down work apart:
Perfect Subfloor Leveling
Glue-down vinyl telegraphs every imperfection in the subfloor. We level to within 3/16" over 10 feet — the industry gold standard — so your finished floor is perfectly flat.
Moisture Testing & Mitigation
We test concrete subfloors for moisture vapor emissions and apply moisture barriers when needed. Trapped moisture under glue-down vinyl causes adhesive failure.
Proper Adhesive Selection
Different adhesives for different conditions — pressure-sensitive for residential, hard-set for commercial. We use the right product for your specific situation.
Acclimation & Climate Control
Both the flooring material and the space must be at the correct temperature and humidity before and during installation for proper adhesive bonding.
