LVT Adhesives: The Perfect Solution for Luxury Vinyl Tile Installation

Installing LVT with an UZIN LVT adhesive

At UZIN, we recognise that choosing the right adhesive is essential for a successful LVT flooring installation. Our extensive range of LVT adhesives offers outstanding bond strength, durability, and ease of application.

Why Choose LVT Flooring?

Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) flooring has become a leading choice for homeowners and businesses thanks to its remarkable durability, aesthetic appeal, and low maintenance requirements. Available in various designs, LVT can mimic the natural beauty of materials such as wood and stone, making it a versatile flooring option for any space.

When considering vinyl tile floor covering, choosing the correct installation method is essential. While the market offers convenient click and loose-lay options, we highly recommend permanent bonding for enhanced reliability and stability. Unlike loose-lay or self adhesive floor tiles this approach not only improves the longevity of the flooring but also enhances acoustic and thermal insulation, ensuring a comfortable environment.

This adhesive ensures a strong bond while accommodating the unique challenges presented by these environments.

UZIN KE 2000 S is a pressure-sensitive adhesive for those seeking a user-friendly solution that offers prolonged open time.
