Glue down vinyl plank flooring（dry back vinyl flooring) is also a type of vinyl flooring, but with different installation methods, including glue down and click system flooring. When installing glue down vinyl plank flooring, a layer of glue is first applied to the floorboards, then they are laid on the ground. Because their thickness is generally between 2mm and 3mm, they can be cut and pieced together freely.

If you want to try DIY, this type of flooring is very suitable; it can be laid not only on the ground but also installed on walls. Glue-down flooring is made by hot-pressing resin powder and calcium carbonate powder. Different grades of resin powder greatly affect the stability of the glue-down flooring. Green Covering uses only 100% new resin powder materials.

1.UV Coating:We use high-end German imported UV paint, which is fade-resistant, completely invisible and transparent, and does not affect the clarity of the color film.

2.Wear Layer: Tolerance controlled within 0.02mm, made of high-purity resin powder, with a light transmittance of over 98%.

3.Color Film Layer: High-precision 4K color printing, large printing rollers, low repeatability, and color error of reorders does not exceed 3%.

4.Intermediate Layer: Made of the same material as the base layer, incorporating glass fiber for higher strength and greater tensile strength.

5.Bottom Layer: Specific texture increases the contact area of ​​the adhesive, and the designed density and shrinkage coefficient provide sufficient tensile strength to support the high-strength wear-resistant layer.

OUR PRODUCT

Whether it’s glue down or click system vinyl flooring, their color film colors are the same; only the floor structure and thickness differ.

In the production of glue down vinyl flooring, besides PVC resin powder and calcium carbonate powder, additives are also crucial. Good additives allow the components to blend together better. Many factories use cheaper additives to save costs. For example, plasticizers are extremely important in PVC flooring production.We use medical-grade organic DOTP, while DOP or DINP are much cheaper. However, these two plasticizers contain phthalates, which are banned in Europe and America. They are not only carcinogenic but also easily volatilize, affecting the stability of the flooring.

To reduce costs, many factories mix recycled materials into their flooring. Our resin powder, however, is sourced from a top domestic supplier of ethylene-based PVC resin powder.Therefore, even in cold winter temperatures, our flooring remains flexible and won’t easily break. If recycled materials, such as old electrical wire insulation or conduit, are used, the flooring will contain impurities. Recycled plastic also lacks flexibility, making the flooring more prone to breakage. Furthermore, flooring made from brand-new PVC material will allow light to pass through when a flashlight is shone on it.

The reason dry back vinyl flooring (glue down vinyl plank  flooring) is prone to warping is that some factories cut corners on the middle layer, using inferior materials, resulting in insufficient tension. The base layer also lacks quality. This is more likely to occur when the wear layer is thick. Green Covering Factory’s glue-down flooring uses the same proportions and materials for both the middle and base layers, including high-quality PVC resin powder. Glass fiber is added to the middle layer as needed, ensuring consistent tension across the top, middle, and bottom layers. This mutual restraint prevents the flooring from delaminating and warping.

Our Annealing process is excellent, fully releasing stress.Annealing is crucial for preventing shrinkage in the later stages of flooring production. Our annealing line exceeds 50 meters, undergoing multiple temperature cooling stages to release the temperature and internal stress accumulated during hot pressing.

After thorough temperature reduction on the annealing line, the glue down vinyl flooring is placed in a constant-temperature chamber for 48 hours to ensure complete release of residual stress. Our flooring is then baked in an 80-degree oven for 6 hours. The final shrinkage rate is only 0.03%, significantly higher than that of smaller factories.

Glue down vinyl plank flooring comes in sheets, which can be cut to 6″x48″ or 7″x48″ according to customer requirements. It’s typically wood-grain cut into strips, but carpet and stone patterns are also available. It’s usually square or 12″x24″ in size. Vinyl sheet flooring, on the other hand, comes in rolls and is commonly used in micro-foamed vinyl flooring for kindergartens or functional flooring for hospitals requiring antibacterial properties.

We keep copies of the raw materials and color film for every order, and we also have a raw material locking mechanism for different customers, such as supermarkets, to control the color error within 3% for each batch.

We use large rollers, ensuring that no two planks are the same (up to 8-10 planks). This gives the vinyl flooring a random feel, which is why many of our orders are for high-end hotels. Using paint beveling or synchronized pattern matching, the texture and embossing follow the wood grain, making it impossible to distinguish between real wood and vinyl to the touch, thus satisfying the designer’s desire for a sophisticated look.

We understand that many apartment flooring suppliers are most concerned about floor damage leading to temporary closures for maintenance and lost rental income.

Our glue down vinyl plank flooring uses high-quality raw materials and over 25 years of experience, combined with a sufficiently thick 0.3mm-0.5mm wear layer, guaranteeing 5-7 years of high-frequency rental without quality issues. While our prices aren’t the cheapest, we can guarantee 0% peace of mind regarding quality. Our goal is long-term business; our clients’ interests are aligned with ours. A win-win business is the only way to last.

Our glue down vinyl plank flooring is perfectly suitable for commercial spaces. Large supermarkets have shelves and shopping carts every day, and the flooring can easily be damaged by accident. Glue down vinyl plank flooring has no interlocking mechanism; it’s laid flat with adhesive. Furthermore, our dry back vinyl flooring uses a mature hot-pressing process and has passed heavy-duty roller tests, so it can handle pushing shelves weighing several hundred kilograms without any problems.

Another issue is that supermarkets and other commercial establishments are most afraid of closing down due to renovations. If we use our flooring, even if one or two pieces are damaged, you can simply use a heat gun to blow on the damaged piece to pry it off and replace it with a new one, without affecting business operations at all.
