Bostik Offering One-Step Sound Reduction Products

Bostik Inc., a manufacturer of specialty adhesives and flooring installation systems, says hardwood flooring contractors can now install both solid and engineered wood flooring products in just one step.

Jake Stadler, market manager for hardwood and soft flooring systems for Bostik, stated: “Working with hardwood adhesives offering maximum grip along with sound abatement offers so many advantages. In particular, for multi-family housing, occupants don’t want to be annoyed by footsteps or a blasting home theater above or below. Bostik adhesive installation systems with Sound Guard™ not only minimize these bothersome interruptions. They also completely eliminate the need for mats or underlayments, which up until now were a necessity under hardwood flooring.”
