A full system of subfloor preparation products

Bostik produces a full system of subfloor preparation products – including primers, damp-proof membranes, smoothing compounds and a new range of Laybond adhesives.
A number of these products were used throughout a flagship £54 million new building for the University of Bristol. The 13,500 m2 Life Sciences building will provide research and teaching facilities in the heart of the city and is split into three zones, containing a five storey laboratory wing, a central atrium and office wing.

CW Jones is one of the largest flooring contractors in the South West, and was tasked with ensuring flooring work throughout the project met with the high standards expected. This led them to select subfloor preparation products from Bostik, including Bostik Screedmaster One Coat Membrane, Bostik Screedmaster Ultimate smoothing compound, Bostik Laybond Carpet Tile Tackifier and Bostik Laybond Pressure Sensitive adhesive.

Adrian Jones of CW Jones commented:

“This is a real flagship project for Bristol University, and it was vital that we delivered a high standard of work within the given timeframe. Selecting the right products is always very important in achieving this, and helping to maintain the strong reputation we have in the region.”

“We chose a complete system of products from Bostik because they can be relied upon to deliver the right level of quality, whilst allowing us to maintain a single point of contact for product and technical support enquiries. This can often be crucial in meeting deadlines.”

Bostik Screedmaster Ultimate smoothing compound is ideal for the levelling and smoothing of sound, uneven floors prior to laying decorative floor coverings. It is low odour and high strength, with its formula recently improved to offer an even higher standard of flow characteristics.

Bostik Screedmaster One Coat Membrane protects adhesives, floor coverings and smoothing compounds from residual moisture in power floated concrete slab or sand/cement screed. Also available is Bostik Screedmaster Rapid DPM, a single part surface membrane that dries in up to one hour and is suitable for up to 95% RH with a two coat application.

Bostik Laybond Pressure Sensitive adhesive is a superior performance floor covering adhesive, developed to give high bond strength whilst providing a high level of tack and flexible open time. It is suitable for use with a range of coverings, including PVC/vinyl. Bostik Laybond Carpet Tile Tackifier is a solvent free non-staining polymer dispersion adhesive designed to provide a permanently tacky film when dry.

Both Laybond Pressure Sensitive adhesive and Bostik Laybond Carpet Tile Tackifier are part of the company’s new range of professional flooring adhesives, designed to offer a high quality, specialised solution for a wide range of floor coverings. This also includes Bostik Laybond Vinyl, suitable for all vinyl floor coverings with the added advantage of bonding most carpet, and Bostik Laybond High Temperature (HT), specifically formulated to give high performance over a large temperature range.
