Does Engineered Wood Flooring Need to Be Glued?

Not always—gluing engineered wood flooring depends on the type of system and installation method.

• Click-lock systems are designed to be floated over underlayment without any glue, making them ideal for quick, mess-free installations.

• Tongue-and-groove boards, on the other hand, often require glue in the joints to ensure a stable, secure fit.
  Alternatively, engineered wood can be fully glued to the subfloor using permanently elastic adhesive, which provides enhanced stability and sound insulation, especially in high-traffic or moisture-prone areas.
