Loose lay flooring is a type of floating flooring system that does not require any adhesive or locking mechanisms to keep the planks or tiles in place. Instead, it relies on the weight of the flooring itself and a high-friction underlay to hold it in place. This makes it easy to install, remove, and replace, as well as ideal for temporary or semi-permanent installations. Loose lay flooring can be made from various materials, including vinyl, laminate, and engineered wood.
