PSA: I still think a full glue-down is better than floating a big LVP job
Last week in a new build over in Springfield, the builder wanted the whole main floor done with that thick 20 mil wear layer LVP, floating. I argued for a full spread of adhesive, but got outvoted. Three years back, I did a glue-down for a repeat client's open concept space, about 1200 square feet. That floor still feels solid as a rock, no hollow spots, no movement at all under heavy furniture. This new one... you can feel a little give near the island already, and we just finished. The install was faster floating, sure, but I'm telling you, for a forever home, that extra day of troweling glue is worth it. Has anyone else had a floating floor feel less stable after a few months on a big area?

Ever try a full trowel-on adhesive with a moisture barrier? We did that on a large basement rec room and it completely eliminated any bounce, even with a pool table in the center.
