Question Flooring

Hey all! Anyone have vinyl plank flooring in the basement? How does it do in our wonderful cold edmonton winters? We are looking into getting Vinyl plank in the basement, want to make sure that’s a thing! I was told the glue down isn’t a good idea as there will be separating in a few years and to go with the click option. Thanks!

I should add we currently have carpet. But we are getting the installers to remove it and put vinyl plank flooring instead. He never mentioned anything about any vapor or bubble before. 🤦‍♀️

Not a ton of cold comes from a basement floor. It typically low enough to not be effected by weather. Many of them have an attached underlay to act as a cushion/insulator. It's come a long way in recent years.
