LVT FLOORING GUIDE

Glue Down LVT

A quick guide to glue down luxury vinyl flooring, installation, room suitability and choosing the right LVT for your project.

Glue down LVT flooring, also known as glue down luxury vinyl tile, is installed by bonding the individual planks or tiles directly to a correctly prepared subfloor. The result is a low-profile, stable flooring finish that works particularly well across kitchens, hallways, living areas, rental properties and suitable commercial spaces.

Our glue down LVT range includes realistic wood effect flooring, herringbone LVT and stone effect LVT, giving you the appearance of natural materials with the practical maintenance benefits of luxury vinyl flooring.

Many glue down LVT products are suitable for moisture-prone rooms and compatible underfloor heating systems, but installation requirements and performance ratings vary by product. Always check the individual flooring specification before ordering or fitting.

A smooth, dry and stable subfloor is important for a professional result. Pack coverage, thickness, wear layer and fitting requirements are shown on each product page so you can compare the right floor for your project.

Low-profile finish Bonded directly to a correctly prepared subfloor.

Wood Effect Glue Down LVT Flooring

Natural Timber Look at Trade Prices

Transform any room with our wood effect LVT flooring, a stunning collection of luxury vinyl planks that replicate the authentic grain, texture, and warmth of natural timber, without any of the drawbacks. From classic oak and rich walnut to cool ash and rustic pine, every design is precision-engineered to deliver a finish so realistic, guests may not notice the difference.

Unlike real hardwood, our LVT wood effect flooring is 100% waterproof, scratch-resistant, and completely maintenance-free. No sanding, no varnishing, no specialist cleaning products, just a beautiful floor that performs as well as it looks. Free samples available on every style.

Realistic Wood Effect Vinyl Plank Flooring

Our wood effect LVT flooring collection uses high-definition surface printing combined with embossed texture technology to replicate the natural character of real timber species with striking accuracy. Every knot, grain line, and surface variation is faithfully reproduced, creating a finish that delivers the warmth and aesthetic of natural wood underfoot.

Each LVT wood plank is permanently bonded to the subfloor using the glue-down method, providing a stable, solid feel that closely mirrors the experience of walking on real hardwood, without the cold, the noise, or the maintenance. Suitable for all rooms including kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, and commercial spaces where real wood would be impractical.

Browse by Wood Tone – Light, Medium & Dark

Our wood effect LVT flooring range is available in a wide spectrum of tones, from pale, light-filled oaks and ash effects through to rich, deep walnut and smoked wood finishes. Whether you're looking to brighten a smaller space or add warmth and depth to a larger room, browsing by tone makes it easy to narrow down the right shade for your interior.

Oak | Walnut | Ash | Herringbone Plank Styles

Our LVT wood effect flooring range is organised by tone so you can quickly find the shade that works best in your space:

  • Light Tones: Pale oak, whitewashed ash, and blonde pine effects that open up smaller rooms and bring a fresh, airy feel to any interior. A popular choice for Scandinavian and coastal-inspired schemes.
  • Medium Tones: Natural oak and warm mid-brown effects that strike the perfect balance between light and dark. Versatile, timeless, and the best-selling category across our wood effect LVT flooring range.
  • Dark Tones: Rich walnut, deep espresso, and smoked wood effects that add drama, depth, and a sense of luxury to living rooms, dining areas, and hallways.
  • Herringbone Plank Styles: Our LVT wood plank range also includes pre-cut herringbone formats in oak, grey, and warm brown tones, ideal for adding pattern and sophistication to any room.

Why Wood Effect LVT Beats Real Wood

Natural hardwood flooring is beautiful, but it comes with significant practical limitations that wood effect LVT flooring simply doesn't have. Here's how the two compare:

  • 100% Waterproof: Real wood and water don't mix. Spills, humidity, and moisture cause warping, swelling, and staining. Our LVT wood effect flooring is fully waterproof, making it suitable for kitchens, bathrooms, and any moisture-prone area where real wood would be a risk.
  • No Maintenance Required: Real hardwood needs regular sanding, oiling, and varnishing to stay looking its best. Our wood effect LVT flooring requires nothing more than a sweep and a mop.
  • Scratch & Dent Resistant: Hardwood scratches and dents easily, particularly in high-traffic areas or homes with pets. Our LVT wood plank range is engineered to resist everyday wear without showing its age.

  • Suitable for Underfloor Heating: Real wood is notoriously problematic over underfloor heating systems. Our LVT wood effect flooring is fully compatible with both wet and electric systems.
  • Far More Affordable: Premium engineered hardwood can cost upwards of £60–£80 per m². Our wood effect LVT flooring delivers a comparable aesthetic from a fraction of that price, with better practical performance.
  • Consistent Finish: Natural wood varies between batches. Our LVT wood effect flooring offers a consistent colour and grain pattern across every plank, making large installations straightforward to manage.
