Pressure-sensitive adhesives are commonly used for vinyl and carpet tiles. They allow for repositioning of tiles during installation, offering flexibility and convenience. Once pressure is applied, the adhesive forms a strong bond that can last for years. These adhesives are also low in volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making them safer for indoor air quality. Many installers prefer them for commercial spaces where speed and cleanliness are priorities. The quick-setting nature of pressure-sensitive adhesives makes them ideal for high-traffic environments.
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.
ECO STEP ® Underlayment is designed for engineered wood, a laminate, a vinyl plank, and can be used as a crack membrane under ceramic tile, stone, and on top concrete.
