Contact adhesive may be used for fixing the nora® profiles (after prior consultation with the adhesive manufacturers concerned).

The subfloor

The subfloor must be dry. Porous, sanding or dusty subfloors are treated with commercially available primer. Uneven or excessively rough subfloors either at the wall or the floor are levelled and smoothed with commercially available levelling or smoothing compound.

Please follow the recommendations of the manufacturers of primers, levelling compounds and adhesives.

At the time of installation and of adhesive bonding, the subfloor temperature must be not less than 15 °C.

nora® profiles must have the same temperature as the subfloor. In winter, therefore, nora® profiles have to be stored for some days at installation temperature.

Installation and fixing

Contact adhesive
The adhesive is applied abundantly with a brush to the subfloor and to the back of the profile. (It is not necessary to sand the back of the profile.)

Airing time will depend on the temperature and humidity and can be checked by means of the touch test. The adhesive must still be sticky without being tacky.

The adhesive film will dry faster on rubber profiles than on PVC profiles.

Immediately after being positioned, the profile is carefully pressed down, and perhaps hammered into place (mallet).
