Strength and stability are essential components of any flooring project. When installing flooring, whether it be tile or a wood product, a solid subfloor can make a real difference in ensuring the longevity of the floor. Supplementing nails and screws with subfloor adhesive is a great way to achieve stronger and more durable results over time.

There are a number of other flooring components that can benefit from the use of construction adhesive, including stairs, baseboards and transition strips. It is important to select the construction adhesive with the right performance characteristics for these various applications. The adhesive must be strong enough to remain durable over time, but also provide enough elasticity to absorb the regular movement, impact, and potential shrinkage some flooring materials may face over time.

For a subfloor adhesive with a powerful, permanent bond, try LePage® PL® 400 Subfloor & Deck Construction Adhesive, which sets fast and is ideal for subfloor installations. The adhesive also prevents uneven flooring, bridges gaps between surfaces to help eliminate squeaks, and reduces the use of nails and fasteners. When using the proper subfloor construction adhesive, the result is a stronger and sturdier floor that will hold up for the long haul!
