Too much glue under vinyl.

Vinyl planks require hard thin underlay because the product itself is softer. Put a piece of cloth on top of the fix and then put a board on top of that. Cut the bubble open and flatten the edges and trim any overlap around the cut. Releasable adhesives have great shear strength and have little movement or but yet are easy to peel up when under pressure from the subfloor shrinking from drying out the adhesive is not strong enough to hold the lvt and lvp down.

First of all i absolutely recommend putting down some extra adhesiveunderneath the tiles. On lighter colored patterns it s more noticeable than on these.

The improper application of adhesive such as too much wrong trowel used to apply it and too soft for example will allow any weighted object placed on the flooring to depress it and indent it. Soft floor patch or substrate prep materials such as patching or leveling materials which may be over watered will diminish the density of the patch and result in it being soft.

Neglecting to use a roller to smooth out the linoleum or vinyl flooring after you ve glued it in place. Because the message came in such a fun and colorful format i know have my first ever kindergarten class that self monitors when they use glue. Putting a soft product under vinyl plank will result in an unstable floor that is much more inclined to being damaged and even punctured or torn over time.
