ADHESIVE SELECTION Pressure sensitive adhesives, such as F. Ball’s Styccobond F46 or F58 PLUS, are often the best choice for installing vinyl tiles or planks. They form an instant grab upon contact, so contractors don’t need to worry about tiles or planks moving about when they are working, making them ideal for where intricate designs or patterns are being created.
Temperature tolerant adhesives such as F48 PLUS or F49 have been developed for installing floorcoverings in areas exposed to high temperatures, which can cause vinyl floorcoverings to move significantly and lead to unsightly tenting and gapping at the edge of LVTs over time.
It will often be desirable to have the advantages of other kinds of adhesives. In addition to Styccobond F46, F. Ball’s ‘System LVT’ range features adhesives for vinyl floorcoverings that combine a variety of specialist attributes, including pressure sensitive, moisture resistant and temperature tolerant characteristics.
COMPATIBILITY CHECK Finally, it is highly recommended that contractors always check the compatibility of particular floorcoverings and adhesives. To do this, you can consult the floorcovering manufacturer’s guidelines. Alternatively, F. Ball produces its Recommended Adhesives Guide (RAG®), which lists adhesives recommended for use with over 6,000 floorcoverings produced by over 200 manufacturers, for this purpose. A continuously updated version of the RAG® is available as a free app and on the F. Ball website. It is also available as an A5 printed booklet, free copies of which can be requested from F. Ball. Alternatively, contractors can contact F. Ball’s technical service department, from 8.30am–5.00pm, Monday to Friday, for advice on adhesive compatibility.
