Selecting the Right Flooring System
1Test moisture levels: use calcium chloride (MVER) and relative humidity (RH) tests to determine if moisture mitigation is needed
2Identify substrate type: concrete age, condition, and any existing coatings affect primer and adhesive selection
3Consider floor covering: vinyl, carpet, rubber, and cork each have specific adhesive requirements
4Evaluate traffic load: foot traffic, rolling loads, and point loads determine adhesive strength requirements
5Check timeline: project schedule determines whether standard or rapid-cure products are needed
6Assess moisture conditions: below-grade, on-grade, and above-grade have different moisture control needs
7Review manufacturer requirements: floor covering manufacturers often specify or approve certain adhesives
Common Flooring Installation Mistakes
Skipping moisture testing: installing over wet concrete causes adhesive failure, bubbling, and mold growth
Using wrong adhesive open time: working past open time creates weak bonds that fail under traffic
Ignoring substrate preparation: contaminated or rough surfaces prevent proper adhesive contact
Incorrect trowel selection: wrong notch size applies too much or too little adhesive for the flooring type
Rolling too early or too late: improper timing affects adhesive transfer and creates air pockets

What warranty coverage is available for Laticrete flooring systems?
The Complete System Advantage
Laticrete flooring solutions work as integrated systems rather than individual products. When you use Laticrete primers with Laticrete moisture barriers and Laticrete adhesives, you get guaranteed compatibility and the security of a single-source warranty. This system approach eliminates the finger-pointing that occurs when products from different manufacturers fail. For contractors, it means simpler specification writing and confident warranty claims.
Featured Products: MVB Moisture Vapor Barrier
The Laticrete MVB (Moisture Vapor Barrier) system revolutionizes installation schedules by allowing flooring over concrete with moisture vapor emission rates up to 25 lbs per 1000 sq ft per 24 hours. Traditional approach: wait 6-12 months for concrete to dry. Laticrete approach: install MVB and proceed with flooring in days. The two-component epoxy system also serves as a primer for adhesives, simplifying the installation process.
Universal Flooring Adhesive Technology
Laticrete 136 Premium Multi-Purpose Adhesive eliminates the need for multiple adhesive types on mixed-flooring projects. This single product bonds vinyl composition tile, luxury vinyl, rubber, linoleum, cork, and carpet with equal effectiveness. For installers managing projects with varied floor coverings across different zones, this simplifies inventory, reduces waste, and speeds up work.
Pressure-Sensitive Systems for Modular Flooring
For carpet tiles, luxury vinyl planks, and other modular flooring, Laticrete pressure-sensitive adhesives provide the repositionability installers need while maintaining permanent grab after placement. The tackifier remains active indefinitely, allowing tile replacement years later without new adhesive application. This is particularly valuable in office environments where carpet tiles need periodic rotation or replacement.
Healthcare and Clean Environment Solutions
Hospital corridors, operating rooms, and pharmaceutical facilities demand flooring that supports hygiene and infection control. Laticrete flooring adhesives with Microban antimicrobial protection inhibit bacteria and mold growth at the adhesive layer - where contamination can hide beneath floor coverings. Combined with seamless sheet vinyl welding, these systems support the cleanroom standards healthcare facilities require.
Fast-Track Commercial Installation
Retail renovations, hotel refurbishments, and office fit-outs often demand flooring installation on aggressive schedules. Laticrete rapid-setting adhesives and quick-cure primers reduce installation timelines significantly. Walk on floors in 4 hours instead of 24. Return to full service in 24-48 hours instead of 72. For businesses, this means less lost revenue from closures and faster returns on renovation investments.
