[Closed] Do you need to glue tongue and groove wooden floor?
Setting up as floating, I would like to ask if the tongue and groove contacts needs to be glued or just the 1st and 2nd and last row? ... If all.. Seems so many to glue 😯
Thanks
I've done quite a few and never glued them, never had a problem.
Thanks colp, but what prevents the board on the edge from moving out of place once I remove the spacers? Or would it just stays there? Sorry very noob about DIY but need to start somewhere 🙂
I think I need it
Put down about 12 now, never glued any of them ( I did glue the bits near the sinks ). The entire ground floor of our current house was done 7 years ago, no issues. You can put cork round the edge if you want, it i didn't bother with that either on the last 5 or 6...
You shouldn't have to glue modern "click" type T&G flooring. The flooring packs generally come with fitting instructions. I would strongly recommend that you buy glueless "click" type flooring.

Click = no glue
Tongue and groove = glue
That's a bit confusing as click type flooring still has tongues and groves but requires no glue. The flooring in wolfenstein's video clip is push fit type T&G flooring which does require glue.
