The mobile app version of F. Ball’s Recommended Adhesives Guide (RAG®) has emerged as the most popular way of accessing the industry-acclaimed guide to floorcovering-adhesive compatibility.

Flooring contractors can download the RAG® app for free from the Apple App store or Google Play, allowing them to consult the trusted guide for advice on floorcovering-adhesive compatibility via the smartphone in their pocket at any time.

The guide features adhesive recommendations for over 6,000 branded floorcoverings from over 200 leading international floorcovering manufacturers, helping flooring contractors select the most suitable adhesive for a particular installation and avoid the risk of costly floor failure. The app provides the option to search for floorcoverings by brand name and manufacturer to obtain recommended F. Ball adhesives that are compatible with the selected floorcoverings. It also features a handy coverage calculator, allowing contractors to easily find out exactly how much of an F. Ball adhesive or smoothing compound is required for a specific project.

Every adhesive recommendation in the RAG® is only included in the guide after the completion of a rigorous seven-week test programme and endorsement of the recommendation by each floorcovering manufacturer. Such is the company’s confidence in the compatibility and performance of the adhesive and floorcovering recommendations that F. Ball provides a 100% guarantee of success of installations using its recommendations, as long as the advised preparation and installation procedures are followed.

The information about floorcovering-adhesive compatibility is updated continuously by
F. Ball’s Technical Service Department, who are responsible for testing the compatibility of floorcoverings featured in the guide.
