In a glue-down application, hardwood or bamboo flooring is adhered to the floor using a special type of adhesive - a chemical-drying compound.
Some types of hardwood flooring may be adhered directly to:
Concrete
Sound Barriers
Plywood Subfloor
Radiant Heating
The advantages of a glue-down application are:
No need to build a plywood subfloor, saving time and material
No subfloor means less height build-up, so less height differences between hardwood and non-hardwood flooring
A very solid floor with little to no movement
Glue-down application requires a skilled installer and meticulous site preparation.
The strength of your floor depends on the quality of the glue used. BC Hardwood only uses proven, quality adhesives to ensure the bond remains strong into the future.
Recommended flooring:
Premium site-finished solid wood flooring
Engineered glue-down flooring
