What is an inexpensive, yet practical solution for flooring for concrete covered in carpet adhesive?
I am looking for a solution to a flooring problem we have at a small non-profit local art center. The floor is concrete and we pulled up old carpet and the glue is left on the floor. As there are a number of solutions, there is not a lot of money set aside to improve the flooring. This room is used as a student gallery as well as a classroom studio, so carpet is probably out of the question. Thank you in advance for your answer.
There should be a solvent you can purchase from Home Depot or Lowes that will dissolve and remove the adhesive. Then there are great stains for concrete and you can have them tinted, just like paint, any color you want.
Other than That, there are sheets of wood, like plywood, that come in a 4x8 foot size. They are anywhere from 1/4 inch to 3/4 inch thick. They look like the actual wood (we chose red oak) and not particled like plywood although it would work well for this as well.
We cut ours up into 2x2 foot squares and laid them in an alternating (checkerboard pattern) You use liquid nails to install it and a wood compound to seal up the seams. Then Stain it the color of your choice and epoxy over it. You'd be surprised how good it looks and is so very inexpensive to do.
Ceramic tile installation, if done yourself can be very inexpensive as well.
Then there's always laminate. Although you will be hard pressed to hide imperfections and bumps with it.
But the wood squares are my favorite and most unique too as you are not likely to see it done anywhere else.
Using the right adhesive for the right situation … Why are there so many kinds of adhesive? Why should you care?
Bonding two components might be possible with nothing but a dab of epoxy but a less expensive, more effective, or faster curing solution might occur with a cyanoacrylate (instant adhesive) or one of the many other adhesive chemistries available in the marketplace.
Choosing the right adhesive the first time will save time and money.
After reading the following summary descriptions of some adhesive chemistries your knowledge will have increased and selecting the right adhesive will be easier. Of course, before using any chemical product, always read the Material Safety Data Sheet and Technical Data Sheet for safe handling.
Anaerobics
Anaerobic adhesives cure when in contact with metal but without any contact with air. Examples of applications are thread lockers used to lock bolts into nuts, retaining compounds, form in place gasket materials, and pipe sealants.
Cyanoacrylates
Cyanoacrylate adhesives cure by reacting with trace amounts of moisture on the surfaces that will be bonded. A cyanoacrylate adhesive is the best choice for rubber and most plastics, and is commonly referred to as instant adhesive or super glue.
Toughened Acrylics
Toughened Acrylics are structural adhesives for high strength applications, such as aluminium panels on a truck body, or portable housing structures. They come in one and two part systems and work well on a wide variety of surfaces. These adhesives are quite versatile, working with minimal surface preparation, and are flexible when cured.
Epoxies
Epoxy adhesives work on a wide variety of materials and form strong, durable bonds. They are available in one and two part systems and can be purchased with a mixing tip that eliminates manual stirring of components.
Polyurethanes
Polyurethane formulations cover an extremely wide range of stiffness, hardness, and densities. These materials include: flexible foam used in upholstery and bedding, low density rigid foam used for thermal insulation, soft solid elastomers used for gel pads and print rollers, and hard solid plastics used as electronic instrument bezels and structural parts.
Silicones
Silicone adhesive products aren’t incredibly strong, but are quite flexible and resistant to high temperatures. Two-part silicone products tend to work more effectively than the one part products. These are a popular choice for shower and bathtub repairs.
Phenolic
Phenolic adhesives require heat and pressure for the curing process, but have been proven to be excellent in bonding metals, or bonding metals to wood. Select these with the assistance of a chemical engineering professional.
Polyimides
Polyimides are based on synthetic organic chains. These are available in liquid and film form, but tend to be more expensive and tricky to handle efficiently. One example of their use is in the electronics industry for flexible cables a wide variety of components. They are available in solid forms, with different melting points and are applied with a heat gun.
