DESCRIPTION

ARDEX AF 175 Luxury Vinyl Tile Adhesive

ARDEX AF 175 Luxury Vinyl Tile Adhesive is a high-performance, fibre-reinforced, water-based flooring adhesive specifically developed for the installation of luxury vinyl tiles (LVT) and PVC floor coverings. Designed for both professional installers and demanding environments, it delivers strong, reliable bonding with enhanced dimensional stability.

This adhesive is suitable for use with all types of LVT in both tile and plank formats, making it ideal for residential, commercial and retail flooring installations. Its fibre-reinforced formulation helps to minimise lateral movement during installation, preventing tile displacement and reducing the risk of adhesive squeeze between joints. This ensures a clean, precise finish and improved long-term performance.

ARDEX AF 175 is a wet-bond adhesive that offers excellent workability, with a short airing time of approximately 5–10 minutes and a working time of up to 15 minutes. Floor coverings can typically be installed shortly after application, with light foot traffic possible after around 2 hours, making it suitable for fast-track projects.

The solvent-free, low-odour formulation makes it safe for use in occupied environments such as homes, offices, healthcare facilities and retail spaces. It is also suitable for use over underfloor heating systems and provides good resistance to indentation and plasticiser migration, ensuring durability in high-traffic areas.
