F. BALL’S 2020 RAG
NOW AVAILABLE The latest edition of F. Ball’s industry-acclaimed Recommended Adhesives Guide (RAG) is now available and includes more adhesive recommendations than ever before.
The guide lists the compatibility of the company’s adhesives and contains over 6,000 recommendations for branded floorcoverings from over 200 leading international manufacturers. Recommendations are included in the guide only after the completion of a rigorous 54-day testing programme at F. Ball’s state-of-the-art testing facilities and subject to endorsement by the relevant floorcovering manufacturer. This makes the F. Ball RAG the most trusted and comprehensive guide to floorcovering- adhesive compatibility available.
So confident is F. Ball in the recommendations featured in the RAG that it guarantees the resulting bond performance for the entire lifetime of the flooring installation, as long as the advised subfloor preparation and installation procedures are followed.
F. Ball’s sales director, Darren Kenyon, said: “Maximum compatibility between an adhesive and a floorcovering is imperative to ensure an excellent bond is achieved and avoid the requirement for costly remedial work or even total floor failure. Therefore, it is always recommended that contractors check the compatibility of adhesives with particular floorcoverings, and F. Ball’s RAG provides a convenient and reliable way of doing this, providing peace of mind that is supported by our guarantee.”
A constantly updated version of the RAG is available on the F. Ball website and as a mobile app, which is free to download from the Apple App store or Google Play, allowing contractors to consult the trusted guide for advice on floorcovering- adhesive compatibility via the smartphone in their pocket at any time.
The 2020 guide is also available as a printed A5 booklet; free copies of which can be requested by e-mailing

Recofloor’s 700-plus members continue to deliver consistent success in collecting vinyl flooring waste for recycling and since 2009 have helped to divert nearly 5,000 tonnes from landfill.
Such achievements are recognised annually in a series of various award categories with award winners keen to share their recycling success stories with customers, prospects and the flooring/construction sector as a whole.
Urging members to consider recent projects they’ve been involved with, Recofloor Scheme Manager Richard McKinlay said: “We’re on the lookout for interesting, innovative and inspiring applications of how Recofloor has made a difference on all types of projects, large and small.
“Every year, our award event turns the focus on the tremendous work
undertaken by our members to collect recyclable vinyl flooring for reuse in new products. It takes on-going effort and commitment to increase tonnages year- on-year and that’s why we want to hear about and recognise your success!”
During the day, Brian will share stories and anecdotes from his decades- long career and there will be ample opportunities to network, share best practice and learn more about how the Recofloor scheme can positively benefit your business.
