Adhesive for a dodgy lvt floor?
Discussion
TLDR what's the best adhesive to stick lvt click flooring to plywood?
I layed this moduleo lay red click lvt flooring about 3 years ago and it's developed a bouncy spot just in the area directly in front of the patio doors. It's spot on everywhere else so I'm suspecting it heat or UV exposure that's done it.
Had the guy round that I bought it off (lives local) and basically said because his fitters didn't fit it the "lifetime warranty" would almost certainly be wiggled out of.
Then got one of his fitters round for a look and he couldn't see a reason for it to lift either and suggested it needing lifting to check the sub floor which is timber clad on plywood.
I've lifted a few tiles and the sub floor is perfect, just as I fitted it. The tiles I've lifted have developed a distinct warp unfortunately.
Difficult to picture but here you go.
So I don't think I'll get anywhere with a warranty, the floor is discontinued anyway so the only real option is to re lay and stick these ones down.
But what adhesive to use....any recommendations.?

When we looked at this, we didn t buy it as the shop guy said it wasn t warranted or recommended near glazed doors as it warps in strong sunlight
Ha...that ship has sailed! I wasn't advised that at all and the marketing material says it's suitable for kitchens and everywhere else etc.There's no solving the fact it's a bit fkd...I just need to glue it and weight it down for 24 hrs. I think I know what glue to get I'm just wondering if there something out there that's bullet proof.
