Can click vinyl also be glued?

Sure, they advertise with "deceptively real," but I can only recommend - visit friends/family who have laminate/vinyl, and those who have parquet. You can clearly see a difference between wood imitations and real wood.
That doesn't mean vinyl floors look bad. But you can simply tell that it's a plastic surface and you're not walking on wood. Both visually and to the touch.

I don't know exactly if you shouldn't wet mop clicked vinyl, but you always have a point of attack for water through the seams. With glued vinyl, that's not an issue. The floor was indeed low-maintenance. However, we also had the problem that you quickly got deep scratches. That is probably the case with wood as well, but wood looks more like "patina" and less like damage. But that's just my subjective opinion.
Here's an example photo, that's our old vinyl floor in the new building. I still think it's a nice floor today, but you can definitely see that it's not real wood. At least that's what I think.

Looks good and from the photo alone I couldn't say for sure that it's vinyl. It surely looks different in person.


Do you have a tip where I can find reviews? So far, I've only found very few reviews on the online shops. Or do you mean here in the forum? Otherwise, your experiences with different floors are interesting.

Well, not as wet as the cleaning staff at the elementary school who always spilled a splash of cleaning water on the floor and then mopped it up again with the mop, preferably not. The commonly used term is "damp," which even laminate can handle. So "wet" enough that it already shines, but a dry kitchen towel cannot soak it up.

The build-up height is important for the doors and also for the adjoining rooms and building elements like stairs. We specified 11mm everywhere so that tiles and >10mm laminate/vinyl/wood can be installed equally. Our floating vinyl floor is fine so far and I am very satisfied. So far, nothing has really bothered me. We have it in the bedrooms, hallway upstairs, and in the office. The rest is tiled. I especially like the tiles in summer and honestly couldn't imagine having the vinyl floor on the ground floor now. Since we have a thicker vinyl floor with a rigid carrier plate and cork layer, the floor doesn't feel "soft" either. Our screed was also quite level. Here and there are a few slight deviations and the floor springs a little there. But nothing different than with wooden parquet. The only thing that bothers me a bit is the grain patterns. Since the vinyl floor is artificial, the pattern repeats now and then. Once you notice it, you keep seeing it. With wood, you have genuine unique pieces, which naturally give a very special character. I think the flooring depends a lot on the room. And a floor that looks cheap can also greatly reduce the sense of space. Our vinyl floor looks like a light oak floor. This is basically a mix between an "industrial" floor you know what you get and a branched, characterful wooden floor. PS: a floating floor can also be replaced faster than a glued floor...

I am actually surprised by the initial question. Where, please, are the advantages of an elastic floor covering intended by the manufacturer for floating installation? They lie in the fact that rental properties can be covered with a PVC covering, which was actually only intended for full-surface adhesion over the last decades, without the prior approval of the owner. This advantage is now to be given up, and the squaring of the circle is to be achieved by replacing this loosely laid form of covering with an adhesion. The edge locks (as far as they can be called that due to the delicate shape) in "click floors" replace the adhesive on the back in such a way that an overall surface resistant to slipping caused by normal use can be achieved. The advantage expected from additional adhesion cannot be recognized at all! If I want to glue an elastic floor covering to an installation substrate, then I take a roll product or a plank form intended for adhesion. But here an experiment without any chance of success is being attempted, the benefit of which must be hidden from a practitioner, whereas the possible disadvantages clearly loom on the technical horizon! A good decision after careful consideration wishes: KlaRa
