Pre-applied adhesive for LVT

Mannington Commercial has launched flooring with QuickStix backing to expedite the LVT installation process.

The moisture resistance properties of the product, even with extreme subfloor moisture up to 99% RH and 18 lb MVER, means the backing not only sticks but can instantly stand up to walking and even heavy rolling loads, the company says.

Upon receipt of QuickStix-backed LVT, it adds, the tile is immediately ready to be installed and sticks and sets upon installation.

The product is suitable for IAQ (indoor air quality), as it does away with the need for traditional adhesives, and contains no VOCs. A warranty covers both the product and the adhesive.

A patented Quantum Guard HP — an aluminum oxide topcoat cured by an ultraviolet process — adds to durability, cleanability, and slip-retardance of the flooring.
