Dry back vinyl flooring, also known as glue-down vinyl flooring, is a type of vinyl flooring that is installed using adhesive. Unlike click-lock or floating vinyl floors, dry back vinyl flooring requires glue to adhere the tiles or planks directly to the subfloor. This installation method ensures a stable and long-lasting floor that can withstand heavy traffic and wear.
One of the key advantages of dry back vinyl flooring is its thickness and durability. These floors are typically made from multiple layers, including a wear layer, a printed design layer, and a backing layer. The wear layer protects the floor from scratches, stains, and spills, while the design layer can mimic the appearance of natural materials like wood, stone, or ceramic. This allows homeowners to achieve the look of high-end flooring materials at a fraction of the cost.
