A directly glued floor: dryback laying method

LVT dryback is a popular laying method.
With this method of laying LVT flooring, you glue the floorboards to the subfloor with the right adhesive, making it last for a long time.
LVT dryback floors are thin planks and because they are glued directly to the substrate, it is important that the substrate is well smoothed, dry, level and clean.
Infinite surfaces can be laid.
It does require a little more skill than, say, an SPC click floor.
The result is a durable and hard-wearing floor that is perfect for both home and commercial spaces.

LVT dryback: sticks for a while

LVT dryback floors consist of thin planks about 2-2.5 mm thick.
This can be a great advantage when thickness of the floor is a factor, such as when adjusting doors and the like.
With a dryback floor, flexibility and a tight finish is also not a problem.
Dryback LVT flooring can be laid in complex patterns, such as herringbone or other decorative styles.
In addition, you can achieve a very tight finish with dryback flooring and even lay it against existing baseboards.

Dryback laying styles

This thin LVT floor has a smooth, untreated backing, which is intended for gluing the floor.
This can be done in 2 ways:

• Direct gluing: With a suitable glue, you can glue the planks directly to the surface, provided the surface is level.
  This is useful when laying floors in large rooms or laying through in multiple rooms.
• EasyFix: Another option is to lay on a self-adhesive EasyFix subfloor.
  This is suitable for self-assembly and ideal for in rental areas, for example, where the floor can be removed.
