Glue-down
vinyl
tile
and
plank
flooring
is
a
popular
option
if
you
are
looking
for
a
more
secure
or
commercial
grade
installation.
Glue-down
flooring
is
usually
required
for
commercial
or
public
spaces
because
of
the
physical
movement.
Due
to
this
constant
traffic,
without
gluing
it
down,
the
floors
could
shift
or
have
enough
movement
to
cause
buckling,
cracking
or
creaking.
If
you
are
experiencing
any
noise
or
have
noticed
the
floors
move,
then
it
could
be
time
to
find
a
flooring
installer
to
help
fix
the
problem.
One
solution
would
be
to
drill
into
the
floor
and
force
glue
under
the
material.
Another
tactic
would
be
to
actually
remove
the
floor
and
re-apply
with
some
kind
of
manufacturer
recommended
adhesive.
Usually
a
spray
or
light
paste.
Cons
In
most
homes
gluedown
isn't
considered
because
of
the
additonal
amount
of
labor
that
it
takes
for
prepping
and
spreading
adhesive
on
prior
to
putting
floors
down.
Glue-down
might
not
be
a
good
option
if
you
are
someone
who
likes
to
update
your
floors
every
10
years.
Glue-down
installation
is
recommended
to
preformed
by
a
professional
installer.
The
use
of
a
trowel
to
spread
on
glue
is
the
most
common
method
of
preparing
the
floor
for
installation.
There
is
also
spray
lock
can
adhesives
but
those
are
not
as
likely
to
hold
if
placed
a
high
foot
traffic
area.
