INSTALLATION:
Determine Your Layout
Dry Lay rubber tiles so that you have a good idea of what the flooring will look like and to choose your starting place. We recommend laying tiles using a brick – bond pattern in which tiles are staggered in alternating rows to provide long – term stability. To achieve the recommended “brick” pattern, it may be necessary to cut the first and last tiles.
Our XP2435 PU Adhesive has been specially formulated to adhere our Rubber Tiles to almost any surface including concrete, asphalt and timber.
As rubber tiles have a high thermal coefficient of expansion we have developed a flexible PU adhesive to adhere our Rubber Tiles. This results in an effective and practical fixing method which can be used in damp and humid conditions.
XP 2435 PU adhesive is supplied in 1 litre bottles with nozzle. The adhesive is applied by simply cutting the nozzle to get a 3-4mm bead.
