At Lighthouse Adhesives, we know that an excellent flooring installation starts long before the adhesive is applied. One of the most critical factors is substrate porosity. Understanding how porous your substrate is directly impacts adhesive performance, curing time, and overall bond strength.
Porosity determines how quickly adhesives, primers, and sealers are absorbed into the substrate. A porous surface promotes faster drying and stronger bonding, while non-porous surfaces may delay curing and weaken adhesion. This can affect installation speed, performance, and long-term durability.
