Adhesives Screeds & DPM
Trade Floors NI stocks an impressive range of high quality Adhesives, Screeds & DPM products. Our products are available throughout the UK & Ireland.Flooring screeds and adhesives are essential components in any construction project that requires the installation of flooring. They provide a smooth and level base for the installation of floor coverings, such as carpets, tiles, and hardwood.
Flooring screeds are commonly used to provide a level surface for the flooring. They can be placed over a prepared subfloor or directly onto the concrete slab. Screeds can be made of a variety of materials, including cement, sand, and gypsum. Each material has its own unique properties and is suitable for different applications.
Cement and sand screeds are durable and hardwearing, making them ideal for high-traffic areas such as commercial spaces or industrial settings. Gypsum screeds, on the other hand, offer more flexibility, allowing them to be used in a wider range of applications. They can also be used to create a smooth and level surface for the installation of underfloor heating systems.
Adhesives are used to fix floor coverings to the prepared surface. There are two main types of adhesive – wet and dry. Wet adhesives are usually used for tiles and carpet tiles, while dry adhesives are used for carpet and vinyl floor coverings.
Wet adhesives are typically mixed with water to form a paste. The paste is then applied to the surface using a trowel before the tiles or carpet tiles are laid on top. Wet adhesives are particularly useful for large tile installations where precise positioning is required.
Dry adhesives, on the other hand, are usually applied to the back of the carpet or vinyl tiles before they are placed on the surface. These adhesives are easier to use and are ideal for smaller installations.
In conclusion, flooring screeds and adhesives are essential components for any flooring project. They provide a smooth and level base for floor coverings and ensure that they are fixed securely to the surface. When selecting screeds and adhesives, it is important to consider the material’s specific properties and suitability for the application.
