Which adhesives to use with LVT floor coverings?
3 tips for installing an LVT floor
Testing the dampness of the substrate
The floor to be coated with the smoothing compound must be tested for dampness. If not thoroughly dry, it will need to be treated with a moisture control system.
Test the dampness of your substrate and check to see if a moisture control system needs to be applied

Check the condition of your substrate
Before any operation begins, test the condition of your substrate. It must be clean and sound with no laitance or flaky substances. Check the hardness and strength of the floor using a sharp tool. If it readily chips away or easily scratches then it is best to mechanically prepare the floor to return to a sound, strong surface. Ensure it is dust free before proceeding.
- Clean and remove all wax, paint and grease stain residue by using a suitable degreasing agent or by stripping.
- Remove the wax from old waxed floors and sandpaper any varnish.
- Any remaining adhesive residue must be strongly bonded and non-water soluble.
- Remove as much adhesive residue as possible, ensuring only a thin and firmly bonded film remains. This can be done mechanically or with a suitable construction standard scraper.
- If there is old tiling, inspect the bond integrity of the tiles by tapping with a hammer. Remove any that sound hollow or are cracked or partially unsealed.

Gluing a LVT floor
LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tiles) is PVC flooring that comes in the form of tiles or planks.
When gluing down LVT planks, the choice of adhesive is dictated by he specifics of the application and area in which the product is being used. Different environments can put stress on LVT planks or tiles. This risks the expansion and retraction of the flooring. Only a perfectly suitable adhesive will lock and fix the LVT floor permanently.
