A whalebone plank PVC floor combines the popular whalebone pattern with the stability of glued-down PVC. Thanks to the larger planks, whalebone looks calmer and more modern than traditional herringbone.
In combination with glued-down PVC, a sleek and durable end result is achieved. But what makes this floor so interesting? In this article, you will read everything you need to know.
What is whalebone glued-down PVC?
Whalebone resembles classic herringbone but is laid with wider and longer planks. This creates a larger and calmer pattern. With glued-down PVC, the strips are fully glued onto a levelled subfloor.
This glued-down installation ensures maximum stability and a sleek floor appearance.
Advantages of whalebone glued-down PVC
- Modern and spacious look
- Large planks for a calmer pattern
- Maximum stability due to gluing
- Optimal heat conductivity with underfloor heating
- Water-resistant and easy to maintain
Especially with underfloor heating, glued-down PVC is a strong choice. Because the floor is directly glued, heat is efficiently distributed.
