The most common types of <strong>wood flooring adhesives</strong> include: <strong>water based</strong>, <strong>solvent based</strong>, <strong>urethane based</strong> (moisture-cure) and <strong>powder adhesives. </strong>Although it may look like a simple choice which <strong>adhesive</strong> should be used, we always select the adhesive according to the type of boards to be installed and their dimensions. The <strong>adhesives</strong> that we use will successfully bond to almost any substrate.<strong> <br /></strong></span></p>
