Why do adhesives matter?
We recommend a full‑trowel glue installation for all of our wide plank wood flooring. Quality
hardwood adhesives create a strong, flexible bond that secures planks to the subfloor while
allowing natural movement caused by changes in temperature and humidity. This helps prevent
issues like cupping, gapping, and hollow spots over time.
In addition to stability, modern hardwood adhesives often provide extra perks like moisture
control and sound reduction—helping protect your investment and making your home quieter and
more comfortable.
If you’re looking for the best combination of beauty, stability, and longevity, a full‑trowel
glue installation—with optional nail assist—is the upgrade your hardwood floor deserves.
What are urethane wood‑flooring adhesives and when should I use them?
Urethane adhesives are 100%-solids, one‑component, moisture‑cured
formulas designed for
installing both solid and engineered hardwood flooring. They provide strong, durable bonds, work
with a wide variety of wood species, and offer low VOC, low‑odor performance—ideal for
professional hardwood installations where reliability and high strength are essential.
Urethane adhesives are the only choice when it comes to adhering to certain types of
underlayments, such as rubber. MAPEI’s urethane adhesives such as Ultrabond ECO 975 and
Ultrabond ECO 980 are specifically engineered for domestic and exotic woods, including bamboo.
What’s the best all-around adhesive choice?
If you’re looking for a single, versatile adhesive that covers the widest range of needs, MAPEI
Ultrabond ECO 995 is a top-tier, all‑around solution. It’s a premium moisture‑control,
sound‑reduction, and wood‑flooring adhesive in one product.
This urethane adhesive can be used with almost all wood types and can even serve as both
adhesive and moisture protection in a single-coat application—making it ideal for
concrete slabs
and multi‑unit residential projects.
