Well vinyl flooring does get stiff and brittle in the cold.
Vinyl flooring cold temperatures.
The cold winters will probably be too much for an adhesive to deal with.
Vinyl is not made from wood and requires a sturdy subfloor with little cushioning.
I know this cuz i ve cracked some pieces trying to install them in probably 20f weather so if you had a saggy baggy floor that moved when you walked on it i suppose there could be some risk of cracking.
There is always a risk that the cold weather is going to cause problems.
Can you offset these problems by using a thermal underlay.
Adhesives become brittle and then crumble below 40f some can get to 28f but then you are done.
It will look and feel like someone put sand underneath your floor.
Because of its multilayered construction the planks will not expand and contract as much as a solid hardwood floor.
The plank design is installed in a floating manner so it can move with temperature changes unlike a vinyl sheet that will become brittle and crack in extreme cold.
Therefore you have to be careful.
If you are thinking about thermal underlayment for vinyl flooring this might cause instability to the flooring.
Amid changes in temperature and humidity all flooring materials are susceptible to expansion and contraction to some extent but engineered hardwood flooring is going to be the most dimensionally stable material you will find.
I would expect 7 10 years out of a floating vinyl floor.
Vinyl plank flooring is engineered to look like wood but doesn t expand and contract as oak or maple would.
