At the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.floormat-store.com\/\">floormat-store.com<\/a> division, that tends to mean a spike in stair tread inquiries. Installing indoor rubber and vinyl stair treads is a great cold weather project. What most customers forget to consider when attempting a stair tread project when it gets cold though, is the adhesive.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Rubber and vinyl flooring adhesives have minimum temperatures usually around 65\u00b0F. If the temperature of the room you\u2019re installing in isn\u2019t at or above the minimum, you\u2019ll be waiting a long time for the adhesive to set. Every year, we get a few customers calling with the complaint that the adhesive they received was a bad batch. So far, every time, it wasn\u2019t the adhesive\u2019s fault. The installer failed to read the instructions thoroughly enough to catch that temperature warning. Usually, it\u2019s an unfinished basement or the few steps that lead from the garage to the house, but with the kids out of school over Thanksgiving and winter break, cold stair wells in schools are a common application, too. Most adhesives also need around 24 hours to set in ideal situations, so leave that heat on for a day (or two) after you finish.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_310\" style=\"width: 302px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amezz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/m3001.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-310\" class=\"size-full wp-image-310\" src=\"https:\/\/www.amezz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/m3001.jpg\" alt=\"Musson #300 water based contact adhesive\" width=\"292\" height=\"283\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-310\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Musson #300 water based contact adhesive with 0 VOCs. Great for indoor stair tread installations<\/p><\/div>\n<p>While keeping the temperature in mind, you\u2019ll also want to consider that a lot of adhesive options require a well ventilated area. In summer that\u2019s easy \u2013 just open some windows and doors and wear a mask. As it gets cold outside though, leaving those open isn\u2019t an option. So make sure to get a low VOC adhesive that will work for the application. The last thing you want is to pass out from the fumes while installing stair treads \u2013 ouch! A water-based contact adhesive, like Musson\u2019s #300, works for both rubber and vinyl treads, risers and tiles, going over concrete, wood, terrazzo, metal and marble \u2013 and typically have 0 VOCs. That safely covers just about any application.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Best of luck and stay safe with your projects.<\/p>\n<p>-Jared @ www.floormatstore.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Jared @ Floormatstore.com Winter is coming\u2026 and it\u2019s time to shift from tackling outdoor projects to indoor ones.
