The Smart Way to Choose Sheet Vinyl Flooring Adhesives

There’s plenty to consider when selecting the appropriate materials to install sheet vinyl flooring. Size of the job, the amount of natural sunlight and speed of installation are all factors to consider. Regardless of the scenario you find yourself in, UltraFloor has a portfolio of flooring adhesives and smoothing underlayments perfect for you.

If you’re installing sheet vinyl flooring in a smaller area, a smoothing underlayment like Level IT Two is ideal. Exceptional flow is something that users of Level IT Two will benefit from. Fondly known as the contractor’s favourite floor leveller, UltraFloor Level IT Two is a fantastic general purpose, mid-strength smoothing underlayment which will make light work of sheet vinyl flooring jobs.

Complementing Level IT Two perfectly is Stick IT 500, a versatile flooring adhesive for a variety of floorcoverings. With a superior, water-based acrylic polymer dispersion, Stick IT 500 provides a strong initial wet grab and excellent final and long-term strengths – ideal for vinyl flooring.

Sheet vinyl flooring is easy to clean and maintain and is therefore a common floorcovering within many industry sectors such as healthcare, education, retail and hospitality. Installing sheet flooring in large areas, requires a smoothing underlayment that dries with an extremely smooth finish, as any bumps or lumps can cause serious safety issues.

UltraFloor Level IT Smooth has been formulated to do just that. Pump or trowel applied, Level IT Smooth has an extremely smooth finish and boasts a superior flow – ideal for installing sheet vinyl flooring in large areas.

With a beautifully smooth subfloor, it’s time to select the perfect adhesive. For fixing sheet vinyl flooring in large areas, UltraFloor recommends the use of Stick IT 640, a water-based acrylic polymer dispersion flooring adhesive specifically designed for vinyl, polyolefin and rubber floorcoverings. This low emission and odour neutral adhesive has a long open time and long final adhesion strength. The enhanced open time of Stick IT 640 gives contractors plenty of time to unroll the sheet flooring – ideal for projects of all sizes.

Fixing sheet flooring in an area with lots of natural light? UltraFloor Stick IT 543 is the adhesive for you. Perfectly curated for high temperature installations and areas of direct sunlight, such as conservatories or shop fronts, Stick IT 643 boasts high shear resistance to minimise shrinkage of floorcoverings and a high bond strength when cured.
