Glue-less click flooring is suitable for many types of installations, especially refurbs and on jobs where speed is of the essence, since subfloor preparation is dramatically reduced. Glue-less click flooring should typically be considered for projects where any of the following requirements apply:

• Speedy installation since installation can be up to twice as fast. No wet trades are involved and no requirement for adhesives, so there’s no drying out time.
• Retrofitting or refurbishing an existing building
• Where the subfloor isn’t suitable for glued-down installation
• Where a clean environmentally friendly installation is required
• Where the installer wants to take advantage of the simple, effective click installation system. No need to worry about using the right amount of glue or spillages.
• Where future dismantling is a possibility or where individual planks may require to be replaced in the future
• Where there isn’t excessive humidity, as in bathrooms and saunas, if wood products are being used. However click SPC products (stone plastic composite) are often used in bathrooms
• A need for versatility, since glue-less click systems can be installed as a glued-down floor, if the situation requires it.
