A FAST FIT
Tilemaster Adhesives explains how contractors can achieve a new reception or function room floor in day.
Tilemaster Adhesives has the answer for those projects where time really is of the essence. The company’s fast track system allows installers to pre-smooth the floor, install a damp-proof membrane and a smoothing compound, then fit the floor all in one day. Traditionally, this has been at least a two-day project. We set out the timetable below.
or customers. Research from Booking. com’s 2021 Sustainable Travel Report found that people are more committed to sustainable travel than ever before, with 81% stating they wanted to stay in sustainable accommodation in 2022, highlighting how ‘green’ design is crucial to both the environment and meeting guests’ needs. However, in terms of sustainability awareness and intentions, 82% of
Booking.com’s accommodation partners said they viewed sustainability in the hospitality industry as being important.
At Amtico, we believe sustainability is a journey not a destination. That’s not only true for manufacturers, but also for designers, specifiers and contractors. It’s about making step changes towards sustainability that cumulatively make a difference. That’s why we’ve spent the last couple of years digging deep into these issues and putting a five-year sustainability plan together, so we can set realistic, achievable targets.
While many trends, including colours and patterns, will change beyond 2022, sustainability is the one set to endure and thrive in order to create H&L venues with floors that are beautifully simple to design and install, yet also contribute to building a more positive future.
Regardless of trends – design-based or otherwise – flooring will always have a multitude of roles to fulfil. LVT will continue to grow as the top choice to create the safe and comfortable experience required meet the needs of guests, as well as the growing requirements all projects will have in the near future.

Start the day by pre-smoothing the floor with Tilemaster Super Flow 30. This is an ultra-rapid setting self-levelling flooring compound that can be used without priming on most substrates. It can therefore be used directly on top of most existing substrates to pre-smooth the surface, where required, prior to applying a DPM.
As little as 90 minutes later, Tilemaster FAST One Coat DPM can be applied – as its name implies, this damp-proof membrane only needs one coat and cures in four to five hours, providing protection from damp cementitious screeds with up to 98% relative humidity.
Once the DPM has cured, a final layer of Tilemaster Super Flow 30 should be applied to ensure that the surface is perfectly flat and smooth and ready to receive the floorcovering. Allow to dry for 90 minutes.
Once dry, begin fitting the final floorcovering, using Tilemaster Eco-3000 HT, a universal high temperature flooring adhesive which is suitable for installing LVT, PVC, sheet vinyl and PVC backed carpet. It is a wet-set product with a 40 minute working time, and the floor is ready for light foot traffic after 12 hours, allowing entry to the room on the following morning.
