Dry back vinyl flooring, also known as glue-down vinyl flooring, involves adhering the vinyl planks or tiles directly to the subfloor using a special adhesive. This method differs from click-lock or floating vinyl floors, which don’t require glue. The glue-down approach provides a stable and durable floor surface that can withstand heavy foot traffic, making it ideal for both residential and commercial settings.
The materials used in dry back vinyl flooring are designed to mimic the look of natural materials like wood, stone, or ceramic. This variety means you can achieve a high-end look without the high-end price tag. Plus, the protective wear layer on the vinyl makes it resistant to scratches, stains, and moisture, adding to its durability and ease of maintenance.
