How to Install Glue Down LVT Flooring: Step-by-Step Guide

Flooring Monster Team·4 November 2025· 1 min read

From subfloor prep to the final roller pass - the no-nonsense Monster guide to glue-down LVT.

Glue-down LVT gives the most premium feel of any LVT installation: zero hollow sound, perfect plank alignment, and the longest lifespan.

Step 1 - Subfloor. It must be clean, dry (≤2% CM), level to 3mm in 2m, and smooth. Self-level any low spots.

Step 2 - Acclimatise. Lay packs flat in the room for 48 hours at install temperature.

Step 3 - Adhesive. We recommend UZIN KE 49 HT - a pressure-sensitive adhesive that gives you a working window without compromising bond strength.

Step 4 - Lay. Spread adhesive with a notched trowel (V1 notch is standard for LVT). Wait for the adhesive to go tacky - usually 15–25 minutes.

Step 5 - Roll. A 50kg roller within 30 minutes of laying, then again at 60 minutes. This is the step most DIYers skip - and it's why their floors fail.
