Frequently Asked Questions
What trade supplies are essential for flooring installation?
Essential flooring trade supplies include adhesives, underlay, trims, profiles and preparation products such as levelling compounds. Adhesives provide strong bonds, while underlay improves comfort and insulation. Trims and profiles ensure neat edges, and levelling compounds create a smooth base for installation. Having the right supplies on hand helps ensure a professional finish and long-lasting results.
Why is underlay important in flooring?
Underlay plays a key role in flooring installation by providing cushioning, reducing sound transfer and improving insulation. It also helps smooth out minor imperfections in the subfloor, creating a more even surface for laying floors. Choosing the right underlay depends on the type of flooring being installed and the requirements of the space, such as noise reduction or moisture resistance.
What adhesives are used for flooring?
Flooring adhesives vary depending on the type of floor being installed. For example, vinyl and carpet tiles require specific adhesives to hold them securely, while timber and engineered floors may need stronger bonding agents. High-quality adhesives are designed to withstand daily wear and maintain flexibility, preventing cracking or lifting over time. Using the right adhesive ensures durability and performance.
