    looks like it was fitted on softlay pro which is a lvt underlay with an adhesive top.

    Yes I was thinking that,

    Wouldn't this be against karndean guidance? I have feeling that flooring company cut some corners and use that straight on chip board

    You can use it straight on chipboard if it’s flat?

    Not sure but I read karndean standards and they saying plywood so if it's sticked to chipboard then I guess invalidate warranty?
    Issue I have is that floor looks like have poor adhesion around rooms perimeter and around door frames, you can feel deflection when pressed.

    I am waiting for flooring company to get back to me as I asked them questions about this

    I didn’t think it stuck down? That’s probably why it’s lifting

    I’m not sure karndean would approve it as you say
