Case study: Wall Cladding Installation

This residential property in south Scotland uniquely used floorboards to create an alternative look to their home. Project 'Man Cave' consisted of using click lock vinyl flooring on a vertical surface, spanning the ground and first-floor wall space. This non-traditional usage of the floorboards gave a modern and trendy look to the house, replacing the existing wallpaper. The installation required a strong adhesive that would ensure the floorboards could permanently bond to the wall.

Solution

The click lock flooring system is often used with a specialist flooring adhesive on a horizontal surface, providing an effective bond with superior flexibility. With the floorboards being used on a vertical surface, the DIYer decided to use an alternative bonding solution, opting for Soudabond Easy. This adhesive foam solution was ideal for the floorboards, proving a quick and easy bonding method. Gap-filling properties of adhesive foam provided full surface bonding, accommodating the natural curvature of the wall.
