Are You Facing These Flooring Challenges?
Common obstacles that slow down commercial projects and increase renovation costs
Extended Project Downtime
Traditional flooring requires days of drying time, forcing commercial spaces to close longer than planned, resulting in lost revenue and frustrated tenants.
Complex Installation Process
Adhesive-based systems demand specialized labor, precise subfloor preparation, and strict environmental controls, driving up both time and installation costs significantly.
Limited Reusability Options
Permanent installations lock you into inflexible layouts. When spaces need redesign or flooring replacement, complete removal becomes a costly, wasteful process.
Vague Product Specifications
Many suppliers provide incomplete technical data, making it difficult to verify quality standards, confirm compliance, or make confident purchasing decisions for commercial projects.
Delayed Sampling Process
Slow sample turnaround and unclear communication with overseas suppliers stall project timelines, preventing timely decisions and delaying client approvals.
High Long-Term Maintenance Costs
Flooring that cannot be easily repaired or replaced section-by-section forces complete reinstallation, driving up lifecycle costs for building owners and facility managers.
What is Loose Lay Flooring?
Understanding the innovative installation technology that's transforming commercial flooring
Simple Definition
A revolutionary PVC flooring system that stays in place through its own weight and advanced friction backing—no adhesives, no locking mechanisms, just intelligent engineering.
How It Works
Loose lay flooring combines a dense, stable core with a high-friction backing layer that grips the subfloor through natural friction and weight distribution. This self-stabilizing design allows planks to stay firmly in position during normal use while remaining removable when needed.
Key Differences from Traditional PVC Flooring
- Installation method: Lays flat without adhesive or click-lock systems, reducing labor time by up to 50%
- Removal capability: Can be lifted and repositioned without damage, unlike permanently bonded floors
- Subfloor requirements: More forgiving on minor imperfections, reducing prep work and costs
- Project flexibility: Ideal for temporary installations, phased renovations, or spaces requiring frequent updates
Self-Weight Stability
No Adhesive Needed
Loose Lay vs Click vs Glue Down
Making the right choice for your commercial project: A side-by-side comparison of installation methods
| Comparison Factor | Loose Lay | Click Lock | Glue Down |
|---|---|---|---|
| Installation Method | ✓Simply lay planks on prepared subfloor—friction backing holds in place | Tongue-and-groove system clicks together, floating over underlayment | Full adhesive application required across entire floor surface |
| Installation Time | ✓Fastest: 30-50% quicker than alternatives—no drying or curing time | Moderate: Requires careful alignment and locking of each plank | Slowest: Adhesive must cure 24-48 hours before foot traffic |
| Reusability | ✓Fully removable and reusable—ideal for temporary spaces or phased projects | Can be disassembled, but locking mechanism may degrade over time | Permanent installation—removal destroys flooring and requires extensive subfloor cleanup |
| Commercial Suitability | ✓Perfect for retail, offices, hotels—especially high-turnover or renovation-heavy spaces | Good for low-traffic commercial areas and residential applications | Best for permanent, high-traffic installations requiring maximum bond strength |
| Long-Term Maintenance | ✓Individual planks can be replaced without disturbing surrounding flooring | Difficult to replace single planks without unlocking adjacent rows | Damaged sections require cutting out and patching, often with visible seams |

Direct Factory vs Trading Company
Understanding the critical differences that affect your pricing, quality control, and project outcomes
| Key Factor | Our Factory (Adasea) | Typical Trading Company |
|---|---|---|
| Production Control | Own production lines—direct control over materials, processes, and quality standards from raw materials to finished product | No manufacturing capability—relies on third-party factories they may not fully control or understand |
| Product Parameters | Engineers who designed the product answer your questions—complete technical transparency and specification accuracy | Sales team relays information from factory—potential for miscommunication, incomplete specs, or outdated data |
| Customization Ability | Modify formulations, dimensions, colors, and backing—true customization based on your market requirements | Limited to whatever the factory offers—minimal flexibility for market-specific modifications |
| Lead Time Stability | Production schedule transparency—we know exactly when your order runs and can prioritize urgent projects | Queue behind other trading companies—no priority access, delays common when factory is busy |
| Pricing Structure | Factory-direct pricing—you pay manufacturing cost plus one margin, 15-30% lower than trading companies | Double margin structure—factory margin + trading company markup inflates your costs significantly |
| Quality Issue Resolution | Immediate access to production team—problems identified and corrected at source within 24-48 hours | Multi-party communication—trading company contacts factory, delays resolution and accountability |
| Technical Support | Engineers available for consultation—detailed installation guidance, performance data, and troubleshooting | Sales representatives only—limited technical knowledge, must wait for factory input on complex questions |

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers to the questions commercial buyers ask most often about loose lay flooring
Will loose lay flooring shift or move under normal use?
No. Properly installed loose lay flooring remains stable through a combination of its own weight and the high-friction backing layer. The planks are engineered with sufficient mass and a specialized grip backing that creates natural resistance to movement. In commercial installations with proper perimeter restraint (walls, baseboards, or transition strips), the floor performs identically to glued installations. Movement only occurs when planks are intentionally lifted for removal or replacement—exactly the flexibility that makes loose lay valuable for commercial renovations.
Is loose lay flooring suitable for permanent, long-term installations?
Absolutely. While loose lay offers the advantage of removability, it's engineered for the same lifespan as traditional commercial vinyl—typically 10-15 years in high-traffic environments when properly maintained. The wear layer, core stability, and backing system are designed for permanent commercial use. The "loose lay" installation method doesn't compromise durability—it simply adds flexibility. Many commercial clients install loose lay knowing they'll never move it, simply because the installation speed and cost savings outweigh glue-down alternatives.
What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
For stock designs, our MOQ is typically one 20-foot container (approximately 2,000-2,500 square meters depending on thickness). For custom colors or specifications, MOQ is one 40-foot container. However, we're flexible for established customers and growing partnerships—if you're testing the product for future larger orders, we can discuss sample orders or consolidated shipments. LCL (less than container load) is possible for smaller quantities, though per-square-meter costs increase. Contact us to discuss your specific volume requirements and we'll find a workable solution.
Can you produce flooring with our company branding (OEM)?
Yes. We provide complete OEM/ODM services for distributors and brands building their flooring lines. This includes custom packaging design with your logo, branded carton printing, customized product labels, and even exclusive design patterns available only to your company. We can also modify product specifications (wear layer thickness, core density, backing material) to create differentiated products for your market. MOQs for full OEM programs start at one 40-foot container. We've successfully partnered with distributors across North America, Europe, and Australia to build their private label flooring businesses.
Which international markets do you currently serve?
We export to over 40 countries globally, with established distribution networks in North America (USA, Canada), Europe (UK, Germany, France, Netherlands, Poland), Australia, Middle East (UAE, Saudi Arabia), and Southeast Asia. Our products meet various regional standards including ASTM (USA), EN (Europe), and AS (Australia). We're experienced with different market requirements—from fire ratings to VOC limits to slip resistance standards—and can provide the appropriate certifications and test reports for your market. If your target market isn't listed, we can discuss compliance requirements and certification processes.
