Why Glue-Down LVT Flooring Is the Smartest Choice for UK Homes & Commercial Spaces

What Is Glue-Down LVT Flooring?

Glue-down luxury vinyl tile (LVT) flooring is a professional-grade solution where vinyl planks are adhered directly to a prepared subfloor using pressure-sensitive adhesive. This method offers superior stability, long-term performance, and a clean, seamless finish.

Whether you’re renovating a home or upgrading a commercial property, glue-down vinyl flooring is built to outperform—and outlast.

Explore our premium Glue Down LVT Flooring range for wood, stone, and herringbone styles.

Built for High Traffic. Designed for Real Life.

Unlike floating floors, glue-down LVT stays firmly in place with zero movement. It's perfect for:

  • Busy family homes
  • Retail and hospitality spaces
  • Kitchens, hallways, and open-plan areas
  • Office and commercial refurbishments

Thanks to its permanent bond, it handles heavy footfall, furniture, and daily wear with ease.

Premium Look, Flawless Finish

Because it's glued directly to the subfloor, glue-down LVT offers a lower profile and a crisp, professional look. There’s no need for transition strips or bulky thresholds—just a smooth, continuous surface from room to room.

Want to mix wood-effect planks with stone-look tiles? No problem. This flooring type gives you the design freedom to go bold.

Quiet, Comfortable, and Compatible with Underfloor Heating

Glue-down vinyl flooring sits solidly on the subfloor, which reduces footstep noise and eliminates the hollow echo you sometimes get with floating options.

  •  Compatible with underfloor heating
  • Warm and cushioned feel underfoot
  •  Ideal for flats, shared spaces, and ground floor

Hassle-Free Maintenance

With a fully bonded surface, glue-down LVT flooring resists water, dirt, and scratches. It’s a perfect fit for households with pets, kids, or just real life in general.

Just sweep regularly and mop as needed—no specialist cleaners required.

Professionally Installed for Long-Term Performance

To get the most from glue-down LVT, we always recommend professional installation. Our trusted trade partners make sure:

  • The subfloor is fully prepped and level
  • The adhesive is evenly applied
  • Each plank is placed with precision
  • A 100lb floor roller is used for perfect contact

This ensures your floor stays flawless for years to come.
