Robert's Multi-purpose Adhesive

Multi-purpose adhesive has a reputation for durability and longevity, making it a very popular choice for glue-down carpeting. As one of several types of adhesives, the multi-purpose adhesive includes enough versatility for use beyond carpets.

It secures certain types of carpet to the subfloor. People also refer to it as floor adhesive, carpet glue, carpet adhesive, or flooring glue. While no single product fits every application, this type comes very close to a universal solution.

Manufacturers typically formulate this adhesive with latex, which gives it flexibility across many applications. Installers use it with a wide range of carpet types to bond them to the floor beneath. In addition, it works well with other floor coverings, such as sheet vinyl. Installers should always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and recommendations when using this product.

Multi-purpose Adhesive offers strong durability and long-term performance, which makes it a popular choice for glue-down carpet installations. Its versatility also allows installers to use it beyond carpet applications, adding to its overall value.
