Introducing Our New Adhesives and Subfloor Coatings

Now, more than ever, Urban Surfaces has become your one-stop source for flooring necessities. We’ve added several adhesives and subfloor coatings to our Urban Essentials line, everything you need for a successful flooring installation and happy tenants. Let’s discuss these great new offerings.

The Adhesives

Prism Firm-Set Adhesive

Prism, also known as 3010, is for use with GlueDown LVP in light-traffic conditions. It has both high-tack/grab and the extended working time required for larger installation projects. This adhesive features color-changing technology, a visual indicator that helps to easily identify when to install your flooring by turning from light green to a darker shade. Prism also provides high strength and moisture resistance. Make sure to use the proper trowel based on porosity and primer usage.

Everlast Hard-Set Adhesive

Everlast, also known as 3020, bonds the subfloor to GlueDown LVP for both light-traffic and commercial applications. This solvent-free, non-flammable, and easy-troweling product provides excellent adhesion for LVP over both porous and non-porous substrates. Additionally, Everlast provides high strength and moisture resistance. Make sure to use the proper trowel based on porosity and primer usage.

Ascend Wall Adhesive

Luxury Vinyl Tile has become the best choice in flooring, but did you know our GlueDown flooring can make a great wall covering, too? Prettier than paint and more sophisticated than wallpaper, using LVP as a wall covering is surprisingly easy to do. Ascend is an adhesive specifically for the application of LVP to vertical surfaces. Create a beautifully unique look for walls by using 2mm or thinner flooring.
