Amtico HT (High Temperature) is ideal for installing Amtico 'Stripwood' over underfloor heating, in conservatories, beneath radiators or in front of patio doors.

If the area is to be suitable, the surface of the floor must not exceed 27°C (81°F). Remember to switch off the heating for 48 hours before and after installation. Where temperatures may vary considerably, the use of Amtico HT Adhesive is strongly recommended.

Always follow the instructions on the tub. Site conditions must conform to BS8203. A good quality, dry subfloor is essential and, as with any installation in a high temperature area, product acclimatisation and maintenance of a constant temperature whilst the adhesive cures is very important.

Unlike most two part adhesives used for hot environments, Amtico HT is a single part adhesive. So no messy mixing. It is also much more user friendly. You only need spread as much as you want at any one time and can then put the lid back on the tub. So not only is it easier to control, it is also more cost effective. It grips the tiles almost as soon as you place them, minimising the risk of them slipping whilst fitting. It also reaches a high bond strength within the first few hours, again helping to avoid movement during fitting and allowing light traffic within 8-10 hours. And most floors can now be completed in a day, again saving labour.
HT adhesive can be used for all those small areas where sunlight might cause gapping, but where mixing a full tin of Universal 2-part adhesive seems wasteful e.g. in front of full glass doors, patio doors and French windows.
The Amtico tiles should be rolled with a 45kg (100lbs) roller as soon as possible after laying and before the adhesive sets - timing will depend on site conditions but is generally 1-2 hours after spreading the adhesive.
