Hello,
We want to install luxury vinyl flooring in a large part of the house. We have chosen glued vinyl because the desired appearance was not available in a click-lock format.
Now the question arises regarding the installation.
Usually, the new screed needs to be primed, filled, sanded, and then primed again.
I have come across self-adhesive acoustic underlay materials (e.g., Planeo) online.
As I understand it, the substrate does not require further preparation with these, which can save a lot of work.
Does anyone have experience with this type of acoustic underlay?
Thank you!

What I always wonder is, isn’t an impact sound insulation necessary when gluing down? And what happens to the material, since it also needs to go somewhere when glued down!?

The answer to the first question is that the impact sound insulation placed beneath a screed fully serves its purpose. Additional layers designed to reduce impact and structure-borne noise are generally not effective when the floor covering is fully glued down.
Sound insulation requirements in a single-family house are not as critical as they are in multi-family buildings anyway.
When glued, the material relieves internal stresses caused by expansion or contraction within itself.
With hardwood flooring, visible gaps can appear on the surface in winter, but these usually do not extend into the lower layers of the material (except for nailed hardwood floors).
This can be seen as the general principle of how a glued material releases its stresses.

But it’s probably better to have it done anyway. A leveling compound not only serves to even out the subfloor but also to create a uniformly absorbent surface for the water contained in every dispersion adhesive.
When installing tiles in a medium-bed method, it is possible (after priming) to skip the leveling compound.
