Cutting Installation Time with Vacuubond LVT®: A Contractor’s Perspective

When you’re installing millions of square feet of flooring each year, every minute counts. Kevin Register, a flooring contractor out of Charlotte, North Carolina, knows this better than most. His company installs luxury vinyl plank across large-scale new construction apartment projects, and typically, a significant portion of that time is spent on prep work filling voids, patching, waiting for materials to dry, and applying adhesive before even beginning installation. By the time prep and adhesive steps are complete, crews often have two hours invested per unit before planks ever touch the floor.

That’s where Vacuubond LVT® changes the game. With its pre-applied, factory-controlled adhesive system, installers can eliminate up to 90% of traditional prep work. Instead of mixing buckets, skim coating, or waiting on pressure-sensitive adhesives to dry, crews simply peel and stick. In Kevin’s warehouse office, where old carpet glue and floor imperfections would normally require heavy patchwork, he and his team installed new flooring without the hassle straight over the existing surface.

The results speak for themselves. What would have required hours of patching, drying, and gluing was completed in just 35 minutes. Vacuubond LVT® not only saves time but also reduces labor costs and eliminates the risks of adhesive failure caused by improper trowel technique or site conditions. Contractors can keep jobs on schedule while developers see projects completed faster with fewer delays.

For Kevin, the conclusion is simple: “In my years in the industry, I can’t vacuum. It’s a win.” Vacuubond LVT® delivers faster installs, cleaner job sites, and proven performance that makes sense for high-volume projects where efficiency and reliability matter most.
