Glue-Down Vinyl Plank Flooring

If you're looking for a premium, low-profile vinyl floor that delivers authentic wood and stone visuals, exceptional durability, and design flexibility, glue-down vinyl plank is an outstanding choice. Glue-down LVP (luxury vinyl plank) adheres directly to the subfloor, creating a stable, long-lasting surface that performs beautifully in high-traffic areas, kitchens, and commercial spaces where a seamless, custom layout is desired.

Why choose glue-down vinyl?

• Design versatility: Individual planks and tiles can be cut and laid in herringbone, chevron, basketweave, or traditional straight patterns for a custom look.
• Stable, low profile: Because the floor is bonded to the substrate it minimizes movement and is ideal for areas where you want long runs with no transition strips.
• Durability: High-quality glue-down vinyl offers thick wear layers and factory finishes that resist scratches, stains, and everyday wear.
• Acoustic & moisture performance: Many glue-down products are engineered to control sound and work with moisture mitigation systems when installed correctly.

Karndean — Gluedown Collections & Options

Karndean is a leader in luxury vinyl with a wide range of formats including traditional gluedown LVT. Karndean’s gluedown format is fixed directly to the subfloor with adhesive, allowing installers to create highly custom looks with decorative borders, inlays, and patterned installations — ideal for kitchens, hospitality, and bespoke residential spaces.

Why design professionals choose Karndean

Karndean’s collections are celebrated for natural visuals, layered construction, and technical performance. The gluedown approach unlocks the full creative potential of Karndean’s designs — use different planks and tiles to create zones, feature areas, or intricate patterns that elevate a room’s aesthetic.

Installation & Care — What to expect

Proper glue-down installation takes precise subfloor prep: the surface must be clean, level, dry and primed if required. Full-spread adhesive (recommended by the manufacturer) creates a permanent bond; because of that permanence, accuracy during layout and acclimation of the product is essential. Routine maintenance is simple — sweep or vacuum regularly, mop with a manufacturer-approved cleaner, and protect high-traffic areas with mats and furniture pads.

Selecting the right product for your project

When choosing between Mannington and Karndean gluedown options, consider:

• Visual & pattern goals: Want herringbone or elaborate inlays? Glue-down is the best way to achieve it.
• Traffic & performance: Look at wear layer thickness, warranties, and any antimicrobial/finish technologies.
• Subfloor and environment: Concrete vs. wood subfloor, moisture conditions, and room use will influence material and adhesive choice.
