Floor fitters can use STYCCOBOND F1 with a suitable jointing tape for seaming traditional and hessian-backed carpets effectively. Users can also apply this latex adhesive to carpet edges to seal them, helping to prevent fibre loss and maintaining a clean, durable finish.

It has an open time of approximately 20 minutes, giving installers ample time to install carpets accurately. STYCCOBOND F1 maintains its effectiveness with a shelf life of 12 months in unopened containers stored in good conditions. This makes it a reliable choice for both immediate and future projects.

Proper subfloor preparation is essential to the correct installation of any floorcoverings. Subfloors must be sound, smooth, dry and free from any contaminants which will affect adhesion. To ensure a level subfloor on which to adhere to, uneven and irregular surfaces should be suitably prepared using the appropriate STOPGAP smoothing compounds.
