What Is Fixed LVT Flooring?

The fixed installation method uses an adhesive on your dry-back luxury vinyl flooring to attach to the base. The adhesive helps the flooring achieve dimensional stability and guarantees that it retains its inherent properties. The fixed flooring technique uses two kinds of adhesives: pressure-sensitive and hard set.

  • Pressure Sensitive: It is the standard choice for fixed vinyl flooring. The tile has an adhesive on the back, and installation requires setting the flooring down and exerting pressure to make it adhere. Pressure-sensitive adhesive is most suited for businesses that frequently modify their brand, such as those in the retail and hospitality sectors.
  • Hard Set: Installing hard set vinyl flooring involves using a setting glue on a flat substrate. Because the tiles are firmly attached, the floor is solid and can support large objects like furniture without shattering or indenting them.

Which Is Better – Fixed or Floating LTV flooring?

When deciding between the two installation methods, fixed and floating, it is essential to consider the room’s conditions, such as foot traffic, heat, and moisture levels. Fixed flooring is recommended for high traffic areas, while floating floors may be prone to warping and buckling due to changes in temperature and humidity.

Additionally, the size of the space should be considered, as fixed flooring may be more stable in larger rooms. Other factors to consider include installation costs, flooring materials, and the condition of the subfloor. Ultimately, it is up to the individual to weigh the pros and cons and make a decision based on their specific situation.
