The Pros and Cons of Using Epoxy Adhesive Under Sheet Vinyl
Architects, construction people and many flooring contractors seem to place an extremely high value on installing resilient materials with an epoxy adhesive. They are of the opinion that it is a cure-all and an end to all problems, stopping everything from moisture to indentation issues.
They usually have no idea that there are a lot of additional costs involved with an installation using an epoxy adhesive. Not only is an epoxy adhesive often much more expensive than the acrylic or latex adhesive, but installation is a lot more labor-intensive. Plus, there are only a few installers that fully understand the product’s characteristics and how to work with it.
