F. Ball reveals updated RAG®

F. Ball and Co. Ltd. has unveiled the latest print edition of its industry-leading Recommended Adhesives Guide (RAG®), which sees new adhesives recommendations for floorcoverings launched by manufacturers over the past 12 months now added to the guide.

The RAG® enables contractors and specifiers to quickly check the compatibility of F. Ball adhesives with over 6,000 branded floorcoverings from over 200 leading international floorcovering manufacturers – offering flooring professionals the most comprehensive guide to floorcovering-adhesive compatibility available.

Recommendations are only included in the guide after the completion of a rigorous 56-day testing programme conducted by F. Ball’s Technical Service Department at state-of-the-art testing facilities and require a positive endorsement by the relevant floorcovering manufacturer. Furthermore, every recommendation listed guarantees the resulting bond performance for the entire lifetime of the flooring installation – as long as the advised subfloor preparation and installation procedures are followed – giving flooring professionals complete peace of mind.

In addition to the annually updated A5 printed book, a continuously updated version of the guide is available on the F. Ball website, and as a mobile app, which is free to download from the Apple App store or Google Play. The app has emerged as a popular way to access the guide.

Commenting on the launch, F. Ball’s technical director, Neil Sanders, said: “It is always advisable to check the compatibility of adhesives and chosen floorcoverings to ensure against floor failure. The RAG® remains the industry standard for this, making it effortless, with recommendations for any of the listed floorcoverings also available in an instant via the smartphone app.”
