Benefits of glueless floating floors
Simplified and faster installation.
When considering different types of flooring installation, it's important to note that a glueless floating floor is a simple and straightforward option. This type of flooring consists of interlocking panels that rest on an underlay, without requiring glue or nails. The installation process is based on whether the panels engage properly, usually with a click, or not. On the other hand, glue-down flooring installation involves several factors that require consideration such as the spread rate of the glue, the set-up time, and the notch shape and size of the trowel. Nail-down floors, meanwhile, involve driving nails or cleats into the flooring at an angle with a pneumatic nailer, which takes experience and practice. Overall, if you're planning a DIY installation, the glueless floating method is a preferred option because it is less complicated, has fewer components, and reduces the chance of failure.
No glue cleanup
At OnFlooring, glueless floating floors offer an additional advantage - there's no need to clean up glue residue. During the installation of glued products, the adhesive may seep out between the tongue and groove. Depending on the brand, this excess adhesive must be wiped away with a damp cloth, allowed to dry and then scraped off, or a combination of both. This process of applying glue and cleaning up the excess adhesive can increase the installation time by an estimated 15% to 30%. With glueless floating floors, this extra step is eliminated, saving you time and effort during installation.
No waiting time after installation
You can immediately live on your new OnFlooring floor! With glue-down floors, depending on the manufacturer, you must not walk on it or rest furniture on top of it for 18-36 hours after installation.
Disassemble and reinstall
Depending on the brand, the floor can be taken apart, moved into another room or another location and reassembled.
