FAQs
What is adhesive-free flooring?
As the name suggests, adhesive-free flooring is flooring that can be installed without glues or adhesives. This serves to have many advantages such as having no adhesive odours that may affect those sensitive to them or be overpowering in confined areas. It also means there is no downtime needed when they are fitted as nothing needs to be left to dry or set. With adhesive-free flooring for all manner of spaces, Altro can provide a solution for whatever the setting.
How does adhesive-free flooring work?
Adhesive-free flooring is just like our regular flooring but without any adhesive or tacky areas, it is welded in place as opposed to glued, letting your operations get back to normal the instant the installation is finished. With a specially formulated studded underside emboss, it sits off the subfloor, which allows it to breathe therefore dissipating any moisture. This also gives you easy access to the underfloor for simple maintenance and repair. With reduced installation times, labour costs and subsequent maintenance also become more cost-effective.
Uses for adhesive-free flooring
Able to withstand medium to heavy foot traffic, there are a myriad of uses for our adhesive-free flooring.
