Which One Is Right for You?

When choosing a new floor, one of the biggest decisions is whether to go with Click flooring or Dry Back (Glue-down) flooring. Both offer excellent durability and beautiful designs, but they're designed for different situations.

What is Click Flooring?

Click flooring features a locking system that allows planks to be installed without glue. Most Click floors are 5–7 mm thick (including the integrated IXPE underlay), making them comfortable underfoot and easy to install.

Best for:

• Home renovations

• DIY installation

• Minor subfloor imperfections

• Faster installation

• Better walking comfort and sound insulation

Most of our Click flooring includes a built-in IXPE underlay, providing extra comfort and reducing impact noise.

What is Dry Back Flooring?

Dry Back flooring is fixed directly to the subfloor using adhesive. At only 2-2.5 mm thick, it provides excellent heat transfer and a clean, low-profile finish.

A smooth and level subfloor is essential, which is why Dry Back flooring is usually installed by professional flooring specialists.

Best for:

• Underfloor heating

• New-build homes

• Commercial projects

• Large open spaces

• Professional installation

Which One Should You Choose?

Both systems perform exceptionally well—the best choice depends on your project.

Choose Click Flooring if you:

• Prefer DIY installation

• Are renovating an existing home

• Want additional walking comfort

• Value better acoustic performance

Choose Dry Back Flooring if you:

• Have underfloor heating

• Have a smooth, level subfloor

• Are working with a professional installer

• Want the best heat transfer efficiency

In the Netherlands, Dry Back flooring is often the preferred choice, especially for new-build homes with underfloor heating. Thanks to its direct bond to the subfloor, it provides excellent heat transfer and is a cost-effective solution when the floor is already properly prepared.

Click flooring remains an excellent option for renovation projects, offering quicker installation, improved comfort underfoot, and better sound insulation.
