Flooring adhesives are glues for adhering flooring material to a subfloor. Different types of flooring need different types of adhesives to achieve permanent adherence and, with this, a solid flooring surface. There are several factors that influence our choice of a flooring adhesive for the designated project. Let’s see how MITOL’s products can help you find the ideal adhesive.
Always use flooring adhesives according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Factors you need to consider
Not all flooring adhesives are for you. There’s a big difference between laying a hardwood floor or tiling a bathroom. To get the perfect result and end up with a durable and reliable floor, you need to think of the following:
Substrate
The substrate is the material directly under the flooring. It is very important to understand what materials are being bonded. Some adhesives work on all kinds of substrates, while others are designed only for concrete. There is a variety of flooring adhesives that give optimum results for the desired combination of materials you are working with.
Location
Bear in mind that adhesion indoors works completely differently from outdoor installation. Think about what weather conditions influence the floor and how much heat or humidity can you expect when using the floor. Some adhesives work only in indoor conditions, while others are also water and temperature resistant and appropriate for outside floor laying.
Eco–friendly adhesives
There are so many different types of adhesives out there. Their chemical composition makes them appropriate for different projects, but that also makes them more or less harmful to the air you breathe. That’s one of the reasons you should look for eco-friendly adhesives that are safe to use in all types of living areas.
Drying and curing time
Drying and curing time determines how fast an adhesive dries and starts working. A long curing time gives you more time to work on your project and allows you to make small corrections. On the other hand, it takes longer for you to be able to walk on the newly laid floor. However — MITOL has the answer. We recommend using an adhesive that allows you to use the newly-laid floor in just 24 hours.
