The no-VOC product works with luxury vinyl tileplank

The no-VOC product works with luxury vinyl tile/plank and multi-ply engineered plank hardwood flooring over approved substrates.Described as a "universal adhesive,” VersaStick enables contractors and builders to limit SKUs needed for multiple types of flooring installation. It spreads easily and has high initial tack and superior shear strength. Flooring may be installed up to 16 hours after initial drying if the area remains dust and dirt free.

The product is also made in the USA and will not harden in the container after opened and exposed to the atmosphere, the company said. Flooring comes in five main categories: hardwood, laminate, carpet, tile and vinyl. Within these categories, there are subsets of styles, color families, finishes, material compositions and textures, with their own characteristics and suitability for various uses.

Do you have pets or children? Laminate is easy to clean and more forgiving than tile, should a child take a tumble. Carpet, of course, is even softer — and has sound-muffling attributes as well as stain-resistant properties.It's beautiful and will probably last the lifetime of the home. The major advancement in hardwood is engineered wood, which fuses a hardwood veneer to a laminated base. It's more stable than hardwood and less likely to warp.
