Glue Down Vinyl vs Click Vinyl Flooring

Glue down vinyl and click vinyl flooring are both used in Calgary homes, rentals, apartments and commercial spaces. The better option depends on the project, the subfloor and the amount of traffic the floor will get.

When Glue Down Vinyl Makes Sense

Glue down vinyl is a strong choice for commercial flooring, apartment units, offices, retail spaces and high traffic areas. It sits tight to the floor and works well when the subfloor is prepared correctly.

When Click Vinyl Makes Sense

Click vinyl flooring is common in homes, condos and basement renovations. It is usually faster to install and works well for many residential flooring projects.

Subfloor Preparation Matters

Both systems need a clean and flat surface. If the floor is uneven, vinyl can move, separate or show imperfections after installation.

Which One Should You Choose?

For homes and basements, click vinyl is often enough. For apartments, commercial spaces and heavy traffic areas, glue down vinyl is usually the better option.
