What this product does

  1. 1
    Friction hold

    The plank holds by friction and weight, with no click and no adhesive

  2. 2
    Liftable planks

    Individual planks lift and re-seat, so the floor opens over a service void

  3. 3
    Closed perimeter

    The skirting holds the edge, so the room has to be closed in

  4. 4
    Dry subfloor only

    Water between plank and subfloor defeats friction, so wet areas are out

Description

A rigid-core SPC plank in a loose-lay format: no click edge and no adhesive. The plank holds by friction and weight over a stable subfloor, with the perimeter held by the skirting, and individual planks lift out and go back down.

That access is the entire argument for the product. A floor over a service void, or over a raised access floor in an office, can be opened without cutting and destroying the finish — which is worth a premium in a building where cables move and pointless in a bedroom. The plank is heavy and the factory-bonded backing grips, so under normal traffic the floor stays put, but the conditions matter more than they do for a click floor: the subfloor has to be flat, dry and dimensionally stable, and the room has to be closed in so the perimeter is held. Wet areas are the limit, because water between the plank and the subfloor defeats friction, so a commercial kitchen or a bathroom needs a bonded or click product instead. If a loose-lay floor starts to gap in the field it is usually the subfloor moving rather than the plank.

Confirm the subfloor, the perimeter detail and how often the floor needs to be opened when you enquire, since those decide whether loose lay is the right system at all.

Where it is used

Offices over raised access floors

Floor tiles lift for cabling, and the finish goes back down

Retail units with underfloor services

Service boxes stay reachable without cutting the floor

Banks and call centres

Cabling changes with the fit-out, so the floor has to allow it

Exhibition and event spaces

The floor goes down and comes up again between events

Frequently asked

What is the minimum order?

1 × 20ft container, mixed across products where the mix suits the project. A sample box can be arranged before the first container.

Can I see a sample before ordering?

Yes. Send the product and the size you are specifying, and we will confirm the sample and the lead time for it.

How does a floor hold down without glue or a click?

By friction and weight over a stable subfloor, with the perimeter held by the skirting. The plank is heavy and the backing grips, so the floor stays put under normal traffic — but the subfloor has to be flat and the room has to be closed in.

Why choose loose lay over click-lock?

Access. Individual planks lift and go back down, so a floor over a service void or a raised access floor can be opened without destroying it. That is worth a premium in an office and is pointless in a bedroom.

Can loose lay be used in a commercial kitchen?

Only where the subfloor stays dry. Loose lay relies on friction, and water between the plank and the subfloor defeats it. Wet areas need a bonded or click floor.

Will the planks move over time?

At the perimeter, yes, which is why the skirting or trim has to hold the edge. In the field they settle. A loose-lay floor that starts to gap is usually a subfloor movement problem rather than the product.
