Two types of LVT flooring available. Glue down, which needs heavy duty rollers to ensure a good bond. Then there is click type loose lay 

Have grabbed a loose lay LVT sample from Topps Tiles. About 5.5mm depth with underlay on the back.
Will probably go with that.

Maybe this is another name for LVT which I assumed was rigid and therefore not easy to cut.

Just wondering what glue is used for glue down type LVT and where to get it?
My brother’s doing a small downstairs loo with flexible LVT wood effect tiles. No luck with finding suitable adhesive though. 
Will be going on Thermoplastic tiles.
Has asked B&Q, Screwfix but they can’t help unfortunately.

Thanks. Had a quick look but only seems to be sold in 5L or larger tubs. 
F44 is available in smaller sizes but not sure if it’s suitable.

F44 will be ok, 
As your not experienced in glueing down tiles/planks, I would cut and lay down the tiles dry.then remove half. Put a pencil line where the last tile/plank  ends.
Then spread the adhesive over half the floor, leaving it a couple of mill short of the line , then lay the flooring.
let is set, then do the other half.

Oh and get it done before the adhesive goes out of date 😊
