Dryback: stylish glue-down PVC
With glued-down PVC, or glue down lvt, the PVC planks or tiles are glued directly onto the subfloor. Moreover, this floor is the best in its class in terms of thermal conductivity. Which means that your underfloor heating is not only cost-effective but also extremely energy-efficient. Unlike click PVC, glue-down PVC or dryback must be installed by a professional. This ensures that the floor is installed correctly and has a neat finish.
The advantages of glue-down PVC
Because you don't need skirting boards or profiles with glued-down PVC, it is the perfect floor if you are looking for a streamlined and minimalist look. Do you have underfloor heating? Then glue-down PVC is also ideal because its first-class thermal conductivity means that there is less residual heat. Furthermore, you don't need a subfloor for glued down flooring, but it is important that the subsurface is perfectly level.
Planks, herringbone or tiles in glue-down PVC
Just as with our click-vinyl floors, our glued vinyl floors also have different installation methods that you can choose from. Do you want glue-down PVC planks, glue-down PVC herringbone and glue-down PVC tiles? You can also combine them, if you wish. You can be very creative, because the different laying methods can be combined seamlessly in whichever way you want.
Glue-down PVC planks
Parquetvinyl’s glued-down PVC planks are almost identical to engineered wood floor planks thanks to their natural colours and a knot here and there. And you don’t just see the light-rustic wood look – you also feel it thanks to the synchronous structure on the floor.
Glue down PVC herringbone
A floor with character: a herringbone floor. For classic interiors or spaces with a vintage touch, Parquetvinyl also has herringbone glue-down PVC. With a matte appearance and natural hues.
Glue-down PVC tiles
The flexible glue-down luxury vinyl tiles look like concrete tiles but feel warmer and cosier. Depending on the colour you choose, you can create a warm or cool atmosphere and use them to complete the contemporary and minimalist look.
Frequently asked questions

Glued-down PVC is perfect for underfloor heating. In fact, because a glued floor offers the most direct conductivity, it is the ideal floor for both underfloor heating and underfloor cooling.

Plus the fact that they look great and keep your feet nice and warm!

No, glued-down PVC must be installed by a professional. This is because the surface must be perfectly level, but also because the installation of the floor itself must comply with many different requirements. Would you prefer to do it yourself? Then choose our click-vinyl floors: thanks to the simple click system, any handyman or woman can install these floors. For the installation of your dryback, you can contact a Parquetvinyl dealer near you.

Each installation method has its own special characteristics: thermal conductivity, walking sound, finishing... Your choice for click PVC or glued-down PVC therefore depends on what you think is most important. The subsurface also plays a role. Click PVC is less demanding than a glued installation because it can handle small irregularities. So it’s a great option for a renovation!
