I’m a 61 yr old lady and I’m finishing my second room along with the hall way. It’s easy. I can’t do an entire room in one day, this lets me work in smaller sections. I lay out and pre cut a section, then glue. The next day a precut and fit the next 6-8 rows, and the following day I glue down. Working just an hour or so a day I just did an entire room this week. I’m getting ready to put down the moulding to cover the gap and I’m done.

Nothing much, they say it might make it warmer on your feet and that is it. On the other hand id you get the flood or sewage backup it will all go under the subfloor and wood will absorb the water and swell. Here when you apply the glue on concrete and install plank over it you just have to mop it and that is it, no water will come under the plank as you do not leave any space under the plank. Good luck!

It should work yes, use any “pressure sensitive” glue. Many flooring stores will be able to sell you this kind of vinyl tile glue. I installed some on OSB subfloor and worked great. Dry time is shorter than on concrete because wood is porous. Try it on one piece to see how it looks.

With the advent of Lvp and modern laminates I don’t understand the reasoning for using glue down flooring. Is it a price point?

@TheHandyNeighbor

Жыл бұрын

Mostly you want to use glue down flooring on basement concrete floors as they are usually not leveled at all, and with LVP or laminate you can get many soft spots as there is some wiggle room everywhere what can cause click flooring locks to disengage and get loose after few years. As well another adventage of glue down is if you get a flood in the basement you can just mop it and done, while in the case of LVP water can go under the flooring so you might have to remove to dry the floor.
