Frequently Asked Questions
What type of adhesive should I use for rubber flooring?
Use a solvent-based contact adhesive specifically designed for rubber flooring. Apply a thin, even coat to both the subfloor and the back of the rubber, allow both surfaces to become tacky, then press firmly together with a rubber roller.
How long does rubber flooring adhesive take to dry?
Tack-up time is typically 5–15 minutes depending on temperature and humidity. For a walkable surface, allow at least 2–4 hours. For full cure and maximum bond strength, leave for 24 hours.
How much adhesive do I need per square metre?
Coverage varies by product but is typically 250–350g per square metre when applied to both surfaces. See the product datasheet for exact coverage rates.
Can I remove rubber flooring that's been glued down?
Yes, but it requires effort. Use a floor scraper to lift sections, then clean residual adhesive with an appropriate solvent. Heat guns can help soften the adhesive. The subfloor will need cleaning and levelling before relaying.
Is rubber flooring adhesive suitable for underfloor heating?
Yes. Our rubber flooring adhesives are compatible with underfloor heating systems. Ensure the heating is switched off 24 hours before installation and kept off for 24 hours after to allow a full cure.
