Why Correct Subfloor Preparation Matters

Proper preparation helps to:

  • Create a smooth and level installation surface
  • Reduce the risk of movement, gapping and telegraphing
  • Improve adhesion between the vinyl and substrate
  • Manage moisture and vapour transmission
  • Support long-term flooring performance
  • Meet the flooring manufacturer’s installation and warranty requirements

 

We have a list of recommended installers that can successfully install glue down flooring.

Tal Vaporstop

TAL VaporStop HB

TAL VaporStop HB is a high-performance moisture-tolerant two-component epoxy moisture and vapour barrier system. 

Once cured, it produces a high cross-link  density barrier coat that prevents the passage of water vapour and moisture through concrete slabs, and subsequent debonding of floor coverings.

Ideal for substrates with moisture levels ≤6%.

Tal Vapourscreen

TAL Vapourscreen WB

TAL Vapourscreen WB is a moisture-tolerant two-component water-based epoxy moisture and vapour barrier system.

Designed to reduce the risk of debonding of floor coverings due to high levels of moisture or vapour emissions (MVER).

Ideal for substrates with moisture levels ≤4%.

TAL Floor Primer

TAL Floor Primer is a modified latex liquid primer with excellent wetting-out agents, designed for use on porous surfaces.

It creates a good bond onto the substrate for the follow-on layer.
