DON’T COME UNSTUCK WHEN IT COMES TO
ADHESIVES Contract interiors specialist Gradus has published a new discussion paper, which looks at matching the right products and adhesives to ensure compatibility, safety and durability.
When specifying and installing floorcoverings and accessories, there is a wide range of products on the market to suit a variety of applications. With so many different materials available there is no ‘one size fits all’ rule when it comes to choosing an adhesive.
Each adhesives company uses a distinct formulation, and products that may look very similar at first glance can have completely different reactions. It is therefore important to always check compatibility with products, as flooring specifiers and contractors can be at risk of facing costly replacement bills should failure occur.
WHEN INSPIRATION STRIKES AND DEADLINES
ARE TIGHT Milliken is delighted to be able to announce a new expedited and expanded Quick Ship programme: the new 48 Hour Quick Ship Service as well as an expanded 10 Day Quick Ship Service for when speed is critical and deadlines are tight. The 48-hour service offers three of Milliken’s most popular collections Formwork, Laylines and Nordic Stories – in twenty one colour options – and within just 48 hours of order placement carpet tiles will be on their way to customers whether they need just one box or 500m².
The ranges and colours available within the Quick Ship scheme have been specially selected to offer as wide a choice as possible to clients, from cool and subtle to tonal and bright. They include designs from both Milliken’s Millitron collections

The Gradus discussion paper was created in partnership with F. Ball and Co. Ltd., the UK’s leading manufacturer of floor preparation products and flooring adhesives.

Keith Oakes, author of the discussion paper and Technical Director for Gradus, commented: “One adhesive may seem much the same as another, but this is simply not the case. If the adhesive chosen is not compatible with the product being installed then an installation failure is highly likely to occur.
“This discussion paper provides a useful guide to stop flooring specifiers and contractors coming unstuck when it comes to adhesives.”
