Maintenance of adhered flooring is relatively easy when the right adhesive is used. Strong adhesion prevents moisture infiltration and limits movement between the flooring and subfloor. This stability enhances the longevity and appearance of the floor. However, it’s still important to follow proper cleaning and maintenance routines. Harsh chemicals should be avoided as they can degrade the adhesive over time. Regular inspections help detect early signs of wear or detachment.
The subfloor condition plays a significant role in adhesive performance. Before applying any adhesive, the subfloor must be clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Any imperfections can reduce bonding strength and lead to floor failure. Moisture levels should be tested to prevent issues like bubbling or delamination. Some adhesives come with moisture barriers to improve resistance against dampness. Proper surface preparation is the foundation of every successful flooring project.
