Vinyl glue-down flooring is the commercial standard — individual planks or tiles bonded directly to the subfloor for the most seam-tight, dimensionally stable, and pet-proof vinyl install possible. For wet rooms, large continuous spaces, rolling chairs, and any application where loose-fit click-lock is a risk, glue-down is the answer. Yaletown Floor stocks 850+ glue-down vinyl SKUs — LVP, LVT, sheet vinyl, and commercial — from Bjelin, Vidar, Grandeur, Mannington, MSI Surfaces, Mohawk, Harbinger, and more. Shipped Canada-wide.

Why glue-down vinyl flooring

  • Tightest seams of any vinyl install — Glue-down eliminates the seam gap inherent in click-lock products. Critical for bathrooms, mudrooms, and any wet area.
  • Most stable under heavy use — Bonded to the subfloor, glue-down vinyl can't shift, lift, or telegraph subfloor movement — the standard for commercial and large continuous residential spaces.
  • Pet-proof against scratching at seams — Dog claws can lift click-lock seams over time; glue-down seams are bonded and don't lift.
  • Quieter underfoot — Direct subfloor bonding eliminates the small air gap under floating floors that amplifies footstep noise.
  • Best for rolling office chairs — The seam-tight surface handles chair casters without the catching and lifting that occurs on floating floors.

Glue-down vinyl purchasing concerns — solved

  • "Click-lock or glue-down?" Click-lock for DIY and floating installs over almost any subfloor. Glue-down for commercial, wet rooms, large continuous spaces, and any application where seam integrity matters.
  • "Can I DIY glue-down?" Technically yes, but it's harder than click-lock — you need clean subfloor, correct adhesive, and proper trowel technique. Professional install is recommended for first-time glue-down DIYers.
  • "What subfloor do I need?" Glue-down requires a smooth, clean, dry subfloor — concrete (sealed and dry) or plywood are ideal. Existing flooring may need removal or extensive prep.
  • "What adhesive?" Pressure-sensitive adhesives for most LVT and LVP; hard-set adhesives for heavy commercial use. We stock both and can recommend per product.
  • "Delivery and samples?" Free samples Canada-wide in 2–3 business days. Free shipping on orders 1,000+ sq ft.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between glue-down and click-lock vinyl?
Glue-down vinyl is bonded directly to the subfloor with adhesive; click-lock vinyl floats over an underlayment with interlocking edges. Glue-down is more stable but harder to remove; click-lock is faster to install and easier to replace planks.

How much does glue-down vinyl cost?
Glue-down vinyl at Yaletown Floor ranges from $2 to $8 CAD per sq ft. Add adhesive cost ($30–$60 per pail covering 100–150 sq ft) to your budget.

Is glue-down vinyl waterproof?
The vinyl itself is waterproof. With proper adhesive, the seams are water-tight against typical bathroom and kitchen spills.

Can glue-down vinyl be replaced if damaged?
Individual planks can be cut out and replaced — more labor-intensive than click-lock plank swap, but doable. Buy 10% extra material at install to keep replacement stock.

How long does glue-down vinyl last?
20–25 years residential; 10–15 years commercial — with proper installation and maintenance. Often longer than click-lock since seams don't loosen over time.

How do I order a sample?
Free samples on every glue-down SKU — click "Order Sample" on any product page. Ships Canada-wide in 2–3 business days.
