The product range, which is called the cork coating, is quite large. But what is the peculiarity of such materials? The cork itself, in a "pure" form, is very expensive. Therefore, the basis of most finishing materials, regardless of their format( roll, tile or otherwise), there is wood( crushed bark of various trees).
In fact, all this is nothing more than a quality imitation of samples from a natural cork tree. Therefore, the choice of the adhesive for mounting the cork coating on the walls has its own peculiarity.
Adhesive specificity for cork
- In view of product structure, water-based adhesives( eg PVA) are not recommended. The liquid will gradually be absorbed into the wood, and what will happen next is understandable. Also, do not use liquid nails or bustilate.
- All acrylic compounds are considered universal in application. With "one-way" technology of fixing cork coatings, they are recommended.
Recommendation for use: for gluing to a substrate that is not subject to significant stress - walls or floors in rooms where there is no intensive movement of people( bedroom, study, etc.).
- Contact adhesives are advisable to use when attaching the "two-way" technique. Such compositions can be on a latex-acrylic, polychloroprene base.
Recommendation for use: where the strength of the "coupling" of the material with the substrate is of particular importance.
- It is taken into account, and what surface is to be finished - floor or walls.
- The weight of the cork coating is also important, which is adhered to vertical surfaces.
- Important parameter such as the toxicity of the adhesive, because these materials are used only from the inside.
It turns out that there are a lot of nuances. That's why a specific expert on choosing a brand of glue for cork will not undertake to give any specialist. Each manufacturer applies an attachment instruction to his product, in which it is always stipulated which means are expedient for applying for fixing the samples on the basis.
