A Quick Guide to Adhesives



Wondering which adhesive is right for your job? Our quick guide may help you decide:

Acrylic / Resin: great for PVC and most types of modern flooring

Bitumen: A tar like material with a high degree of moisture resistance, which is ideal for damp-proof membranes, tiles, wood blocks and mosaics.

Epoxy Resin: This is ideal for environments such as conservatories, wet rooms such as bathrooms, showers and kitchens and exterior installations.

Polyurethane: Great for wooden floors, thanks to its ability to bond rapidly.

Polyvinyl: Used commonly for close fitting joints in timber and laminate flooring.

Tackifier: Ideal adhesive for carpets, this is designed to increase the tackiness of an adhesive.

Water Based: To avoid odours and flammability common with chemical adhesives, many different types of adhesive are now water based.
