12 best baseboard adhesives

*Overview of the best according to the editors of Healthy Food Near Me. About selection criteria. This material is subjective, is not an advertisement and does not serve as a guide to the purchase. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

The classic wooden skirting boards have been replaced by modern decorative elements made of polymeric materials, ceramics, gypsum, etc. And if earlier installation was carried out with the help of nails (to the floor), today this option is not suitable. The easiest way to attach a decorative element to the base of the wall is glue. Due to the variety of skirting boards, manufacturers cannot produce a special adhesive composition. Therefore, you have to choose products that are best suited for a particular pair (skirting – base). The recommendations of our experts will help novice finishers make the right choice.

Recommendations for selection

Base. All adhesive compositions for skirting boards can be grouped by base.

1. Adhesives such as PVA and acrylic are water-based. And if the first one is not distinguished by reliability and ease of use, then the second composition is increasingly used by finishers. Although it does not differ in resistance to moisture, frost and vibration, it outperforms the glue over its competitors in environmental friendliness.

2. Epoxy is widely used in the installation of skirting boards. The disadvantage of this adhesive is the need to mix the two components (resin and hardener) before starting work. But the mixture fills the pores and irregularities well, and when dried, it forms a strong seam.

3. Hot glue can only be used with a special gun. The adhesive composition is in a solid state, after heating it softens and is applied to the surfaces to be glued. But not all polymer skirting boards can withstand high temperatures.

4. Neoprene adhesives are made from synthetic rubber. The formulation contains organic solvents, due to which a pungent odor appears. Therefore, when working with such products, it is necessary to organize good ventilation in the room. But neoprene adhesives have high strength, resistance to moisture, low temperatures, chemicals and vibration.

Application method. When carrying out installation work, it is important to quickly and evenly apply glue to the surface of the skirting board. Manufacturers offer several application methods.

1. Professional formulations are packaged in special tubes. To squeeze the glue out of them, you need a special gun. Therefore, such glue is unlikely to be suitable for mounting skirting boards in a small room due to the additional cost of buying a gun.

2. Some adhesives supplied in tubes or bottles have dispenser caps. In this case, the glue should have a creamy consistency. Otherwise, there are difficulties with uniform application. For domestic use, this packaging looks quite attractive.

3. Increasingly, you can find aerosol glue on sale. It is quickly and evenly applied to the surfaces to be bonded. However, it will not be possible to achieve a large thickness of the seam; the glue is also not suitable for working with porous substrates. During spraying, personal protective equipment for the eyes and respiratory organs should be used.

We have selected 12 of the best baseboard adhesives for our review. All these products can be purchased in the hardware stores of our country. When distributing positions, the editors of the magazine simplerule relied on the opinion of the expert community, taking into account the feedback from Russian consumers.
