One of the most common questions we get from customers is:
“What’s the difference between a fully stuck-down floor and a click floor?”
Both options can look fantastic, but they are installed in different ways and each offers its own benefits.
Fully Stuck-Down Flooring
A fully stuck-down floor is fixed directly to the subfloor using a specialist adhesive. This creates a solid and permanent installation.
Benefits of a Fully Stuck-Down Floor
- Premium feel underfoot – Because the flooring is bonded directly to the floor beneath, it feels exceptionally solid and stable.
- Reduced movement – The flooring remains firmly in place, helping to create a seamless finish throughout the room.
- Excellent for larger areas – Ideal for open-plan spaces where a continuous look is desired.
- Works brilliantly with underfloor heating – The direct bond can help maximise heat transfer from the subfloor.
- Quieter to walk on – The solid installation helps reduce hollow sounds and creates a more substantial feel.
Click Flooring
Click flooring uses an innovative locking system where the planks simply click together, creating a floating floor.
Benefits of Click Flooring
- Quick installation – The click system allows for efficient fitting with minimal disruption.
- Clean and tidy process – No adhesive is required, making installation straightforward.
- Versatile option – Suitable for a wide range of rooms and property types.
- Comfortable underfoot – Often installed with an underlay that adds a little extra cushioning.
- Beautiful finish – Modern click floors offer the same stunning designs and realistic wood effects as other flooring options.
