Is Glued down Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring a good option
I am debating which type of floor to put on a living room, hallway, 2 rooms and 2 bathrooms.
One flooring contractor is offering to install a 2mm mohawk Luxury Vinyl Plank that glues down.
He will install new luan on top of the plywood that currently has carpets in order to make the floor smooth.
This floor is rather thin and he is also saying that it will be fine installed in the bathrooms.
Does glued down vinyl hold up better if there is a water spill or a leak or will it lift and bubble or deform from water?
And will this glued vinyl need transitions between hallway and rooms or bathroom if it is all the same type of floor?
Appreciate any advise.
Thanks

I had a thicker glue down in a house in TX that had 10” of flooding from hurricane Harvey. It was the only floor in the house that did not need to be replaced and had no moisture underneath. Not a single buckle or anything. Just squeegeed it and cleaned it thoroughly. May not be typical but seems to be a great product.
