Laying carpet with adhesive is necessary for its full fixation on the floor. It is best to use glue from the discharge of polymers - this is usually used for linoleum.

There is a step-by-step instruction of this event:

  • We divide the floor into four parts using wall marks.
  • We perform laying from the center, from one of the parts and move evenly in all directions.
  • You can glue each element of the puzzle separately and apply it to the floor or lubricate the floor and then put the module in - as you like. Next - insert the next item in the pasted puzzle and press it tightly.
  • After installation of the whole structure, it is necessary to knock out all the connections with a rubber mallet and walk with a rubber roller for reliable fixation.
  • As soon as the glue dries, set the curbs.
