Floor adhesive

Types of floor adhesives

• Urethane flooring adhesives: This type of floor adhesive is one of the most widely-used types of adhesives for hardwood flooring jobs. Although urethane floor adhesives weren’t always considered to be an eco-friendly (or “green”) flooring product, great improvements have been made with regards to the toxins that used to be prevalent in this type of glue. Bostik has a range of urethane flooring adhesives that are very popular in the professional market.
• Water-based adhesives: Many flooring contractors prefer to use water-based adhesives because it is easier to spread this type of flooring adhesive. You won’t generally use water-based adhesives for tiles in a home; water-based adhesives are reserved for high-performance flooring (in busy, high-traffic zones, for example) where larger floor boards are being used.
• Dry flooring adhesives: Made of silicone or latex, this type of flooring adhesive is used for flooring materials such as vinyl and carpet.
• Conductive adhesives: If you are installing conductive flooring (to eliminate the risk of electric zaps from static which arises from people walking on the floor), you should use a conductive floor adhesive for the job.
