COMPARISON
Glued, clipped, or weighted: What's the difference?
All three product lines feature wood and stone designs. What sets them apart is how the flooring is installed: the preparation it requires, and how easy it is to install and repair.

Regardless of the installation method, the subfloor must be hard, clean, dry, and level: no more than 2 mm of unevenness when measured with a 2-meter straightedge. If the unevenness exceeds this, the subfloor must be leveled. Not sure about your project? Request a quote, and we’ll help you choose the right installation method.
