FINfloor is proud to partner with TAL, stocking all the TAL products required for glue-down vinyl installations. You can now conveniently get everything you need for your glue-down projects from our FINfloor warehouses in Johannesburg, Durban, and Cape Town.
We also offer regular product training on vinyl and laminate flooring installation. To book your training session, simply contact your local FINfloor office. Alternatively, you can follow the TAL Self-Levelling Installation Guidelines, available as a downloadable PDF below.
Why follow the TAL guidelines?
So, grab a coffee, download the guide, and set yourself up for installation success.
Because in flooring, knowledge is your ultimate power tool.
The installation of Glue Down Vinyl Flooring is difficult and requires experience.
We recommend you make use of professionals, to make sure your product is installed correctly for lasting longevity of the flooring and to meet the requirements of the manufacturer’s warranty.
We have a list of recommended installers that can successfully install glue down vinyl flooring.Â

TAL VaporStop HB is a high-performance moisture-tolerant two-component epoxy moisture and vapour barrier system.Â
Once cured, it produces a high cross-link density barrier coat that prevents the passage of water vapour and moisture through concrete slabs, and subsequent debonding of floor coverings.
Ideal for substrates with moisture levels ≤6%.
TAL Vapourscreen WB is a moisture-tolerant two-component water-based epoxy moisture and vapour barrier system.Â
Designed to reduce the risk of debonding of floor coverings due to high levels of moisture or vapour emissions (MVER).
Ideal for substrates with moisture levels ≤4%.
TAL Floor Primer is a modified latex liquid primer with excellent wetting-out agents, designed for use on porous surfaces.
It creates a good bond onto the substrate for the follow-on layer.
TAL Primer Aggregate (SQ2) is a well-graded silica sand designed to provide a mechanical key for resin flooring systems as well as cementitious screeds / toppings / underlayments.
Broadcast into the wet TAL VaporStop HB to create a mechanical key for the follow-on layer.Â
TAL Primercoat ready-mix one-component (1k) slurry priming coat provides a mechanical key for TAL Screedmaster when applied over the cured TAL Vapourscreen WB and TAL VaporStop HB moisture and vapour barrier system.Â
Also suitable for application over existing resin-based flooring systems, after correct preparation of the resin-based flooring
TAL Screedmaster is a commercial grade self-levelling and smoothing underlayment compound manufactured from rapid-setting shrinkage-compensated cement and selected aggregates, and specially formulated to achieve the smooth and flat surface required for the installation of resilient floor coverings in high traffic, commercial installations.Â
Designed application thickness: 3-16mm in a single layer.
TAL Superscreed SL is a residential grade self-levelling and smoothing underlayment compound manufactured from rapid-setting shrinkage-compensated cement and selected aggregates, and specially formulated to achieve the smooth and flat surface required for the installation of resilient floor coverings in residential installations.Â
Can also be used in light commercial installations.
Designed application thickness:1-12mm in a single layer.
TAL Profix Plus LVT is a solvent-free, high-strength modified acrylic adhesive specially formulated for use with LVTs (Luxury Vinyl Tiles) and PVC-backed vinyl tiles.Â
TAL Profix Plus LVT is designed for ‘wet’ lay installations, and the final glue line once set/cured is rigid, inhibiting lateral shear movement on the tiles once in service, thus reducing the possibility of ‘gapping’ between the tiles over time.
TAL Goldstar Sealmaster 1000 is a single component permanently flexible moisture curing polyurethane based joint sealant and adhesive.Â
Fast curing and is resistant to shock, vibration and temperature change when cured.
Synthetic resin based primer in water dispersion.
Applications:
Treating gypsum or anhydrite surfaces prior to installing ceramic tiles and stone material with cementitious adhesives or levelling. The surfaces to be treated must be clean and porous.
Dilute Primer G with water from 1:1 to 1:3 to protect old floors before levelling, to fix the residual dusting and to provide even absorption of substrates prior to levelling or laying. Apply on perfectly dry gypsum or anhydrite surfaces (residual moisture content less than 0.5%).

Application: brush or by spray.
EMICODE: EC1 – extremely low emission level.
Storage: 24 months. Protect from frost.
Consumption
0.1-0.2 kg/m2 depending on use.
Packaging
