Tiếng ViệtGlue-down LVT flooring (Luxury Vinyl Tile) is widely used in residential and commercial projects thanks to its aesthetic versatility, durability, and water resistance. However, when considering installation in outdoor or semi-outdoor areas, it is important to understand the material’s limitations to ensure long-term performance.
Can glue-down LVT flooring be used outdoors?
Glue-down LVT flooring is not recommended for fully outdoor environments. Although LVT is water-resistant, it is not designed to withstand direct and prolonged exposure to natural elements such as intense sunlight, rain, or significant temperature fluctuations. Extended heat may cause vinyl to expand or deform, while cold or humid conditions can lead to contraction or reduced adhesive performance.
Suitable applications near outdoor areas
Glue-down LVT flooring can be installed in semi-outdoor or enclosed spaces where environmental conditions are relatively stable. These include sunrooms, covered porches, fully enclosed balconies, and sheltered functional areas. In such cases, the flooring must be protected from direct weather exposure, and the subfloor must be dry, flat, and structurally sound before installation.
Glue-down LVT for high-traffic commercial spaces
One of the key advantages of glue-down LVT flooring is its excellent stability under heavy foot traffic. Because the flooring is fully bonded to the subfloor with a strong adhesive, it minimizes movement and reduces surface deflection. This makes glue-down LVT an ideal solution for high-traffic environments such as supermarkets, shopping malls, schools, hospitals, offices, and showrooms. Compared to click-lock systems, glue-down installation offers superior durability and long-term performance in demanding commercial applications.
Key benefits of glue-down LVT flooring
Glue-down LVT flooring features a durable wear layer that protects against scratches and abrasion. It is easy to clean, requires minimal maintenance, and is suitable for households with children and pets. With a wide range of wood-look and stone-look designs, LVT delivers a refined appearance while offering a cost-effective flooring solution for both residential and commercial projects.
