Has anyone seen or used this before? Was on facebook the other night and a friend of mine shared a video of this stuff and it looks really good tbh. Not to sure on the system but basically they put a resin based product down which cured in 60 mins and was ready to go. They used karndean which had been produced with a magnetic backing and away they went, looked a good system tbh no mess and can easily replace tilee with no fuss at all. I can't get the link for the video but if anyone is interested its on RBJ flooring on facebook.
From what I saw with the sample, its wasn't strong enough to hold the corners down if the plank wasn't completely flat. Wish companies would stop trying to reinvent the bloody wheel, glue down works!!
Haha I saw it and thought it looked great, but then thinking about it I thought it must be more than a case of putting it down and there you go. I don't know anyone who's done it but what are the weaknesses with it? I'm all for new things and if it works without needed different types of adhesives and still stays good then why not? If people can or are trying to improve things then good luck too them.
What, you taking the ****? Karndean normal plank won't work with iobac, it's a dearer plank for iobac system
I have used the vusta, had a roll of thin magnetic underlay loose layed and fitted as if it where glue
Hi Adam, the tiles do cost extra (£1/2 m2 extra over traditional), you're right. However there's a cost saving which far outweighs the £1/2 additional cost per square meter when you factor in the following: - No DPM - Faster installation time - (up to 28%) Tax savings on the top floor covering - Quicker and cheaper replacement and refurbishments, once the resin is installed once, it never has to be re-applied
Hi Jambo, A few decades ago people were saying the same thing about the gripper rod. IOBAC is primarily for high-traffic retail areas where end users require faster installation times and easier maintenance regimes. A glue down product doesn't offer the same benefits that IOBAC does for retailers. If you've got a moment, have a look at our latest video on YouTube where we install straight onto a Damp subfloor (95% RH) in a few hours - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZRY9RMAZ88&list=UUPvV4LYFtvZqMXIlfXb0-7A
Jambo, I have replied to your comment but it has been sent to a Moderator for approval for some reason.
Hi George, yup had a look through all 10 videos. In fairness, it looks pretty good. I like the fact in works on the principle of a hard floor rather than a floating floor like the vusta. Proof is always in the pudding so let's talk sampling!!
