"Some LVTs are loose lay. These tiles do not have any mechanism or glue to hold them in place. They simply stay in place by gravity, the borders of your room, and a high friction coefficient bottom layer which grips the subfloor. This type of luxury vinyl tile can be self-installed if required"

"The expression loose lay is something you do prior to fitting your floor but would not normally apply to most floors. LVT is normally a click system can be glued down if required or can be clicked and floated over underlay or some already have underlay fitted"

"It's click vinyl tiles same as laminate still need to prep the floor right otherwise it looks awful with gaps between the tile lvt stuck down is better cause if u damage it u don't have to pull up the floor you can just replace the tile"

"Hi Karen,
The loose lay LVT does not require glue. It can be laid on a plane surface without underlay and no glue."
