Floating a wood floor is often the quicker and more cost-effective option. It’s ideal for DIY installations, as it doesn’t require adhesives or specialist tools. A floating floor is also easier to remove or repair if issues arise, such as subfloor damage or leaks. However, gluing may offer better stability and sound insulation, especially in high-traffic areas or for specific flooring types. The best choice depends on your flooring material, subfloor condition, and long-term needs.
