Whatever your preferences , or area of use , ARDEX offers you a choice of adhesives specifically designed for the installation of Luxury Vinyl Tiles.

Fibre Reinforced Wet Set Adhesive



If your adhesive of choice is a wet set, ARDEX AF 175 has been specially formulated with advanced fibre reinforced technology, perfect for today’s modern floorcoverings.

The inclusion of fibres offers 3 main benefits:

1) Minimises lateral movement of the planks during installation
2) Eliminates adhesive squeeze between tiles and planks
3) Improves indentation resistance

In addition, ARDEX AF 175 has a reduced airing time of just 5 minutes, which means you can fit quicker, and once the flooring has been installed, your customer can walk on it after 2 hours.

Pressure Sensitive Adhesive

If you prefer to use a pressure sensitive adhesive, ARDEX AF 145 has number of unique benefits.Unlike traditional pressure sensitive adhesives, ARDEX AF 145 doesn’t require rolling to reduce the airing time, which also speeds up the installation process.

With ARDEX AF 145, you can start installing LVT in as little as 20 minutes, which is half the time of traditional products, and there’s no need to rush, as ARDEX AF 145 can receive Luxury Vinyl Tiles up to 80 minutes after spreading from the tub.

Areas of High Solar Gain

All ARDEX Flooring Adhesives are suitable for use over normal underfloor heating systems, but in southerly facing aspects,conservatories, extensions and orangeries, the surface temperature of the floor can exceed 50°C. In areas subjected to prolonged or extreme solar gain, many floor-covering manufacturers recommend the use of a specialist ‘epoxy’ adhesive. Traditionally these have always been two component products that require mixing, but ARDEX have an alternative solution.

ARDEX AF 2575 is ready mixed and resealable, which means there’s no mixing, and no wastage.

• Excellent early grab means little or no lateral movement of the planks
• Once spread, the extended 35-minute working time reduces the risk of late placement, and means you don’t have to rush the installation
• Solvent free, meets the lowest possible emission limits and no PPE required

So, whether your preference is wet set or pressure sensitive, or you’re installing LVT in areas of high
temperature, ARDEX have a solution to help you achieve the perfect finish!
