While these planks are relatively smooth, Charcoal offers a dark brown and black textured appearance that bring a sleek, rustic aesthetic into your home. This style pairs well with both dark and light colors alike. These planks can stand out when paired with light colored cabinets or other room features, and blend perfectly with dark flooring, lighting features, and decorations. Pre-Glued Factory Applied Adhesive: VacuuBond® is a patented installation method for all hard surface floors and wallcoverings. The impact of this innovative method on the flooring industry could be as significant as the previous developments of UV finishes, imitations of hardwood flooring like laminate, LVT, WPC, and the click profile. VacuuBond® Adhesive is specially formulated for the VacuuBond® installation method Factory-applied adhesive is applied in groups of parallel strings, with air spaces between each string of adhesive. When pressure is applied by walking on the floor (or J-roller for wall installs) the air between the glue strings is forced out, and a soft (suction) is created when the pressure is relieved.
